You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|1946 Broadway play by Maxwell Anderson))
((italic title))
((Sources|date=February 2024))

'''''Truckline Cafe''''' was the title of a 1946 [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] play written by [[Maxwell Anderson]],<ref name="time">((Cite news |title=The Theater: Cafe Brawl |date=11 March 1946 |work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |url=https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,776737,00.html |access-date=17 February 2024))</ref> directed by [[Harold Clurman]], produced by [[Elia Kazan]], and starring [[Marlon Brando]]<ref name="lahr" /> and [[Karl Malden]]. The short-lived play ran only 10 performances and is best remembered today for the fact that each night Brando would run up and down a flight of stairs prior to an entrance to induce an effectively frenzied demeanor for one of the scenes. The cast also included [[David Manners]], to whom Brando has attributed much of his subsequent success((citation needed|date=August 2013)), and [[Kevin McCarthy (actor)|Kevin McCarthy]]. The play is noted for Brando's first major appearance on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]], during which he garnered attention for an unusually intense performance which presaged his later work on ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (play)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]''.<ref name="lahr">((Cite news |last=Lahr |first=John |author-link=John Lahr |title=How Marlon Brando nearly missed his defining role |date=6 October 2014 |work=[[BBC Online]] |url=https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20141006-brandos-breakthrough |access-date=17 February 2024))</ref> ''Truckline Cafe'' is also notable for being the first collaboration between Brando and Kazan, who later made ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (play)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]'', ''[[Viva Zapata]]'', and ''[[On the Waterfront]]'' together. The play also remains notable for being the first time Brando and Malden worked together, prior to co-starring in ''A Streetcar Named Desire'', ''On the Waterfront'', and ''[[One-Eyed Jacks|One Eyed Jacks]]''.

From the May 1, 2007 issue of ''[[Slate Magazine]]'', Troy Patterson notes in a review of a [[Turner Classic Movies]] documentary about Brando:<br />
''The film spends a happily ample sum of time on ''Truckline Café'', which was Brando's Broadway breakthrough, and contextualizes the triumph of Streetcar better than Brando's own autobiography.''

From the July 7–13, 2004 edition of ''The Villager'':<br />
''In “Broadway: The Golden Age,” a stirring documentary film by Rick McKay, that fine actor [[Charles Durning]] says of his first sight of Brando (in “Truckline Cafe”): “I thought [he was a] guy they pulled in off the street. Too good to be an actor.”''

''[[Time Magazine]]'' reported that the reviews were so lacerating (the ''[[New York Daily News]]''' John Chapman called it "the worst play I have seen since I have been in the reviewing business") that Clurman and Kazan took out an ad in the ''[[New York Times]]'' stating in part:

((blockquote |Our theater is strangled in a bottleneck . . . made up of a group of men who are hired to report the events of our stage and who more and more are acquiring powers which, as a group, they are not qualified to exercise — either by their training or their taste. . . . No opposition point of view is ever expressed. There is a blackout of all taste except the taste of these men.<ref name="time" />))

Meanwhile, playwright Anderson mounted an ad in the ''[[New York Herald Tribune]]'':

((blockquote |It is an insult to our theater that there should be so many incompetents and irresponsibles among [the reviewers]. ... Of late years all plays are passed on largely by a sort of [[The Jukes family|Jukes family]] of journalism.<ref name="time" />))
