春柳社首演《茶花女》纪念品的发现与考释

The Discovery and Explanation of the Souvenir from the First Performance of camellia woman by Chunliushe

作为中国话剧源头的《茶花女》演出研究一直鲜有进展。作者以新近发现的两张1907年春柳社在东京为演出《茶花女》而发行的纪念明信片为依据,澄清了三个问题:一、春柳社当年只演出了话剧《茶花女》的第三幕,解决了长期以来的一幕还是二幕之争;二、这次发现丰富了该剧演出的照片资料,且李叔同、曾孝谷、唐肯和孙宗文四个主要人物俱全,舞台画面清晰,完整地再现了当时的演出场面,对研究春柳社显然颇有价值;三、从当年的文献可以发现,春柳社的演出因系筹款,故都有纪念赠品发送,但学术界从未能证实纪念赠品的存在,此次发现解决了这一问题,且春柳社之所以选用明信片作为纪念赠品,李叔同在其中应该起了关键作用。

The research progress of the performance of camellia woman, as the source of Chinese Drama, has been very little all the time. According to the newly discovered two postcards issued as souvenirs for the performance of camellia woman by Chunliushe in Tokyo in 1907, the author clarifies three problems： first, Chunliushe only performed The Third Act of camellia woman; second, the discovery enriches the materials about the performance and has reap- pearance of that performance scene, so it is valuable for the research of Chunliushe ; third, from the literature of that time, we could know that during the performance of camellia woman souvenirs were sent for the purpose of collecting funds, and the discovery has solved this problem ; moreover, Li Shutong played a key role for Chunliushe ＇ s selecting postcards as souvenirs.
