These women, vested in the habit of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, faced an uncertain future on a path that would eventually lead to a hilltop campus in Baltimore. They had been invited to start a school in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Benziger and Eschbach Company of Einsiedeln, Switzerland, had purchased the land with the intention of selling plots to emigrating German Catholics and developing a town called St. Mary’s. A certain Baron von Schroeder, sent by the company as an emissary to accompany the Sisters, assured them they would be welcomed upon their arrival by the bishop of Pittsburgh. What could be more auspicious than to begin a new venture in a place named after Notre Dame, Our Lady, the mother of Jesus? But troubles began soon after Mother Theresa and her companions disembarked in New York. The Redemptorist Fathers they visited warned them not to commit to St. Mary’s: it was sparsely populated, and, most importantly, it was not located on a trade route. The town faced a bleak future. Then, on the journey overland, one of their band, a novice named Mary Emmanuel, fell ill in Harrisburg, Pa., and died. The grieving Sisters buried her and continued by coach on the rugged road. According to a diary entry by one of the Sisters, “The muddy water from the puddles through which we drove splashed over our heads and fell upon our clothing. Hanging boughs struck us in the faces; we were sorry-looking objects.” 1873 1876 1895 1899 President Ulysses S. Grant First baccalaureate attends commencement. degrees awarded.

Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by his design for Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".[1] Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States. His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, Born Frank Lincoln Wright skyscrapers, hotels, and museums.

  • Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.

  • Anne Baxter Michigan City, Laporte County May 7, 1923 – December 12, 1985
    Anne Baxter Michigan City, LaPorte County May 7, 1923 – December 12, 1985 The granddaughter of world-renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, Anne Baxter was born in Michigan City, Indiana, on May 7, 1923. When she was eleven, her parents moved to New York City, which encouraged her to consider acting as a vocation. By the time she was 13 she had already appeared in a stage production that had garnered rave reviews. The play helped her gain entrance to an exclusive acting school; and, in 1937, she made her first foray to Hollywood to test the waters in the film industry where she was thought to be too young for a film career. She returned to New York, where she continued to act in Broadway and summer theatres along the East Coast. Two years later, Anne returned to California where she took a screen test which was seen by the moguls of Twentieth Century-Fox. She was then signed to a seven-year contract. She then dedicated her entire life career to acting. In 1971, she told an interviewer, “Acting is not what I do. It’s what I am. It’s my permanent, built-in cathedral.” Over her fifty-year career, she would add almost one hundred acting credits in both film and TV. In 1946, Anne portrayed Sophie MacDonald in The Razor's Edge, for which she was nominated for and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. In 1950, she landed the role of Eve Harrington in All About Eve, where she received her second Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

  • JOHN LAUTNER: an Annotated Bibliography
    2009 JOHN LAUTNER: An Annotated Bibliography Compiled and Annotated by John Crosse Wolff Residence (see item 220.) 2 John Lautner: An Annotated Bibliography (Uncorrected Proof – Not for Sale) Chemosphere (Malin House) (see item 136.) Compiled and Annotated by John Crosse ©2009 modern-ISM Press 6333 Esplanade Playa del Rey, CA 90293 [email protected] 310-301-6339 3 Introduction The 2008 Hammer exhibition “Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner” and Getty-Hammer Symposium “Against Reason: John Lautner and Postwar Architecture” created a flood of publicity and generated much renewed interest in Lautner‟s life and work. It also motivated me to look deeper into the literature for information on this unique and creative genius. A logical starting point for me was to perform a “Lautner” search in my 8,000 item “Julius Shulman Annotated Bibliography” prepared while researching a book on Shulman cover photos. The search resulted in 275 articles with Shulman photos of Lautner projects. Shulman has logged close to 75 assignments on Lautner projects over the years for various clients ranging from Lautner himself to book and article authors, magazine editors, newspaper reporters, exhibition curators, homeowners and realtors. He also used his considerable marketing skills and contacts with publishers and editors to help spread the gospel of modernism according to Lautner to a global audience. This bibliography compiles my Shulman-Lautner findings with the excellent bibliographic foundation laid by Ludolf von Alvensleben in the 1991 Viennese exhibition catalog “John Lautner: Architect: Los Angeles”, “John Lautner, Architect” with text by Lautner and edited by Frank Escher and the John Lautner Foundation web site.

  • Marked the High Point in Baxter's Career. with Rare Exceptions, She
    A n n e B a x t e r Bette Davis in All about Eve gave her an opportunity to win an Academy Award for best actress. It was an unex­ pected break because Jeanne Crain, who was originally cast as Eve Harrington, had to relinquish the part because of a pregnancy. Baxter expressed delight with her performance and with the picture: “I was good, I was respected, I had a great part, the script was superb; the actors were perfect and perfectly cast. Even me, and I wasn’t always.” As the scheming understudy, Baxter more than held her own against the venerable Davis. As Eve, Baxter was full of treachery, but offscreen she and Davis became good friends. “Anne was really play­ ing a double role: one thing on the surface, another Left: Baxter and director Alfred Hitchcock enjoy a moment together in underneath,” said Davis. “I called it the ‘sweet bitch.’ 1953, when Baxter starred in Hitchcock’s film I Confess.
