Master of Ceremonies
an artist of the variety stage who announces the concert numbers and performs in the intervals between them. The art of the master of ceremonies requires wit, talent for improvising, and a facility for talking to the audience. The first masters of ceremonies appeared in the 1860’s in the Paris café chantants and cabarets. In the late 19th and early 20th century, they performed in variety and miniature theaters. In Russia the first professional master of ceremonies (from 1910 to 1920) were N. F. Baliev (the miniature theater Letuchaia Mysh’), K. E. Gibshman, and A. G. Alekseev (the miniature theaters of Odessa, Kiev, and other cities). The art of the master of ceremonies advanced greatly on the Soviet variety stage. Among the most famous Soviet masters of ceremonies are A. A. GriP, G. A. Amurskii, A. A. Mendelevich, I. I. Glinskii, M. N. Garkavi, P. L. Muravskii, B. S. Brunov, and O. A. Miliavskii. Two per-sons resembling the comic and the philosophizer act as a double master of ceremonies (L. B. Mirov and M. V. Novitskii; lu. G. Timoshenko and E. I. Berezin [stage names Tarapun’ka and Shtepsel’]). Want to thank TFD for its existence?

The shoot even ties in with her new Las Vegas burlesque extravaganza Peep Show, where she plays mistress of ceremonies Peep Diva. Also in attendance will be saucy Deborah Norville, Mistress of Ceremonies, and a bevy of television types: Ann Curry, Bob Woodruff, Brian Williams and Geraldine Ferraro, whose fate as vice presidential candidate we can only hope foreshadows that of La Palin. |
