By Aristophanes
Remark rétablir los angeles paix dans une société toujours en guerre ? remark affronter les politiques démagogues, l’abus de procès, los angeles corruption des associations ? remark s’opposer à un penseur tel que Socrate, dont l’influence est si grande dans l. a. cité ?
Autant de questions qui sous-tendent les comédies d’Aristophane, où se déploie un humour subversif et truculent.
Avec Les Acharniens, Les Cavaliers, Les Nuées, Les Guêpes et l. a. Paix, Aristophane sketch les travers de los angeles démocratie athénienne du siècle de Périclès et donne au lecteur de notre temps une snapshot vivante de l. a. société old.

The first half of each show—the customary vaudeville routines— would be followed by a shortened, or "tab," version of a recent Broadway revue. One of the shows they selected was the Lew Fields starrer, and Fields invited Rodgers to be the replacement musical director when the show had been on tour for two months. Rodgers made his debut as a professional conductor at the Shuberts' Detroit Opera House on December 4, 1921, and stayed with the show until it closed on the road the following spring. Oddly enough, neither the formidable Fact Book that lists his achievements nor his autobiography mentions the song that brought all this about.

In October, George Gershwin and Irving Caesar got together on a little number called "Swanee" that took about ten minutes to write and would make both of them rich young men.
