“Stories of Christmas” Come Alive at the Barker Mansion by Paula Mchugh Visiting the Barker Mansion at Any Time of Year Is a Treat Volume 18, Number 49 Thursday, December 12, 2002 “Stories of Christmas” Come Alive at the Barker Mansion by Paula McHugh Visiting the Barker Mansion at any time of year is a treat. At Christmas time, a visit to the jewel of Michigan City is a visual feast. Planning a tour of the majestic landmark at 8th and Washington should be on everyone’s must-do list, especially at this time of year. This year’s holiday theme, “The Stories of Christmas,” is the result of months of brainstorming among Director Cecilia Zubler and staff— Mary Kintzele, Elke Zimmerman, Terry Pabon, and Ann Jankowski. It’s a process Barker Mansion staff has repeat- ed for more than a dozen years: discovering new ways to use, reuse, and display the exquisite holiday trimmings among selected rooms in the 35-room mansion. This year, visitors are treated to a view of rooms decorated to portray classic Christmas stories new and old: Little Women, The Nutcracker, A Visit From St. Nicholas, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, A Christmas Carol, “The Christmas Dinner,” “The Gingerbread Man,” The Gift of the Magi, The Legend of the Poinsettia, A Cup of Christmas Tea, The Polar Express, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas “It’s a big undertaking,” Cecilia admits, adding that each staff member takes charge of carrying out the year’s theme in one or more of 15 rooms. This year, for example, Cecilia decorated “The Nutcracker;” Mary, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, and “Little Women;” Ann, the Cratchit home; Elke, Scrooge’s bed chamber from “A Christmas Carol”, and the “The Polar Express” foyer; and Terry, “The Gift of the Magi.” Other contributors to the labor-of-love-intensive effort included the AAUW Antiques Study Group, which transformed the kitchen into “The Gingerbread Man” theme; the Women’s Study Club, which decorated the French bedroom for “A Visit from St. Nicholas; Darlene Murphy, who set up “A Cup of Christmas Tea;” and the Children’s International Summer Village, which decorated “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” “It’s fun to do. We are like a bunch of kids (preparing the dis- plays),” Cecilia said. Staff receives help from community groups by way of donations of time and money, Cecilia explained. The Monday Musicale pro- vides music during the weekend viewings, and docent help comes from members of the Barker Mansion Guild. Cecilia, who admitted that she is already mulling ideas for next year’s display, said that preparations for the annual holiday event begin around Halloween. That is when members of the National Honor Society from Michigan City High School come over A dream comes true for a little boy whom Santa grants the to the mansion to set up the Christmas trees.

  • 4 Enter the Lesbian 1
    4 ▶ ENTER THE LESBIAN Cosmopolitanism, Trousers, and Lesbians in the 1920s [F]eminine stars now soliloquize— breathlessly— “to pant or not to pant.” — “New Films Find Feminine Stars in Male Garb,” New York American, September 9, 1923 In the 1920s, the American fashion world embraced female trou- sers for the first time. Perhaps surprisingly, the film industry released fewer films featuring cross- dressed women than it had in past years, but they were longer, more expensive, and received more attention. During this same period, lesbians and inverts appeared in a succession of high- profile movies, plays, and novels, including the infamous play The Captive and the novel The Well of Loneliness. Around the United States, newspapers and magazines avidly discussed these works, spreading awareness of lesbianism and inversion, the codes to recognize them, and the terms to name them. Reading strategies that had been the purview of “sophisticated” elites became available to anyone who read the daily paper. Journalists, gossip columnists, and fan magazine writers invited general readers to be part of the in- crowd by spreading the “lowdown” on lesbians far and wide. Hollywood’s first representations of lesbians and inverts coincided with a sec- ond wave of cross- dressed women, but the two trends were largely kept apart during this period.

PAUL, MINNESOTA. History and EarlyAssociation of the Karpis-Barker Gang Prior to the Ab- duction of Mr. Bremer. The citizens of the southwestern part of the United States had, for a number of years, known and feared many notorious criminals who lived by means outside of the law,' outlaws who plundered throughout the States of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Another outlaw band had its origin in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and. Arkansas and the Cookson Hills of Oklahoma, which was later to be publicized as the notorious Karpis-Barker Gang, which except for its mobility and modern equipment of machine guns and fast automobiles was made up of typical southwestern bandits. The nucleus of this ruthless band of criminals was the Barkers. The mother of the Barker brothers, Herman, Lloyd, Fred and Arthur, was Arizona Barker, commonly known as Kate Darker and many of her friends called her Arrie Barker, but to her sons and their associates she was affec- tionately- known as or "Mother." Kate Barker was born in the vicinity of Ash Grove, Missouri, known as the Ozark country, of Scotch-Irish parents, but it is also said that she had some Indian blood in her veins. She was of an ordinary family and during her early life it appears that she was reared in the vicinity of the plade of her birth. On September 14, 1892, as Arrie Clark, Kate was married to George E.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
