PERSONALITY, SPEECH and CURIO 78s SHOLOM ALEICHEM [author]. Peres- yaslav, Ukraine, 1859-New York City, 1916. Known as “the Jewish Mark Twain”, Aleichem (born Sholem Rabinovich) was the most famous author of Yiddish literature, in- cluding plays, short stories, novels and child- ren’s tales. Representative works have been translated into most languages. In 1964, the musical Fiddler on the Roof was based on his writing and, in particular, his character Tevye, the Milkman. Aleichem made one record, not assigned a matrix number as it was apparently originally a private recording or a test. It includes two readings separated by a divider band. At the end of the first, the recording engineer can be faintly heard say- ing, “Is that all ya got?”. Following Aleichem’s SHOLOM ALEICHEM death, it was evidently thought worthwhile to publish it, although copies of it are indeed few and far between. 1382. 10” Purple Victor 60144.

An actor, operatic producer and impresario, Ebert originally trained under Max Reinhart and became one of the leading actors in Germany during the 1920s. During that decade he was also appointed to administrative posts, both theatrical and academic. In 1929 he directed opera for the first time, and during the 1930s established a reputation as an operatic director in Germany and beyond. A strong oppo- nent of Nazism, he left Germany in 1933 and did not return until 1945. Together with John Christie and the conductor Fritz Busch, Ebert created the Glyndebourne Festival Opera in 1934. Ebert remained its artistic director until 1959, though productions were suspended during the Second World War. In the 1930s and 40s Ebert helped establish a national conserva- tory in Turkey, where he and his family lived from 1940 to 1947.

From 1905-06 he toured with his own company. In later years, after retiring from entertainment, José became the California Deputy Real Estate Commissioner. His records for Vic- tor, 1903-06, were great successes. A vir- tually unknown electrical disc, “a souvenir recording,” was made by José in California in the early 1930s.

268 PERSONALITY, SPEECH and CURIO 78s POLA NEGRI [film actress]. Janova, Poland, 1894-San Antonio, TX, 1987. Negri was raised in dire poverty by her mother after her father had been sent by the Russians to a Siberian prison camp. She auditioned for the St. Petersburg Imperial Ballet and was accepted, but her dancing career ended after she contracted tuberculosis. She then auditioned for the Warsaw Imperial Academy of Dramatic Arts and became a successful stage actress. World War I inter- vened, and she turned to films and became an international star. An affair with Rudolf Valentino ended with the actor’s death in 1926. At the funeral she created a memorable scene, tossing her- self on his casket, fainting (twice, the second time for photographers who missed it the first), and presenting a huge floral display reading “P-O-L-A”. Her career in the U.S. diminished when talkies came in, but she became a big hit in Nazi Germany. Despite Hitler’s admiration for her (he had given her full Aryan status when she was being investigated for Jewish ancestry) she refused the addition of propaganda to her films and left Germany for France in 1938. After Germany invaded France, she came to the U.S. and in 1951 became an American citizen. Her final film was a featured role in Walt Disney’s The Moon-Spinners (1964). Despite the fact that it was claimed she led the remainder of her life in seclusion, she was a visible resident of San Antonio and participant in its cultural activities. During her final illness, she was seen by “a handsome young doctor who looked at her chart, and failed to respond immediately in seeing her name.” The 92 year old Negri “reputedly pulled herself up into a ‘movie star’ pose and asked: ‘You don’t know who I am?!?!?’ ” 1754. 10” PW Plum HMVA EK 114 [OB641-II/OB642-II].

She became a social reformer, was the founder of modern nursing, and served in the latter capacity during the Crimean War, 1854-56, where she famously tended to wounded soldiers.

He became known as a playwright as well and in 1881 married Teresa Sormanni, also a writer and author of plays, who collaborated with him in his writing. In 1882 he was appointed Director of the Drama School of Florence, a post he held until his death. His students included a number of later noted actors as well as baritone Cesare Formichi. One of his most famous publications was a biographical dic- tionary of Italian actors from the Renaissance on- ward.

LAURENTIUS CLARK SEEYLE [1st Pres. of Smith College, Norhampton, MA]. Bethel, CT, 1837-Northampton, MA, 1924. Seeyle was hired by the Board of Trustees in 1872 to create and maintain Smith College. His first years were spent hiring faculty, raising funds for building structures on campus and recruiting students. Much of his early days were occupied in lecturing to groups on the wisdom of higher education for women. On campus he was much beloved as “Prexy” and would be seen on campus at all hours of the day.

Count LEO TOLSTOI [author/speaker]. Tula Province, Russia, 1828-Astapovo, Russia, 1910. Born on his family’s estate of Yasnaya Polyana, Leo was the youngest of four sons. After the premature death of his parents he was raised by an aunt, and upon her death in 1840 by another aunt. He was educated at home by German and French tutors. Entering Kazan University, planning on a diplomatic career, he studied Oriental languages and then law, but left the University in 1847 without completing a degree. He began writing after joining the army as what was known as a “gentleman-volunteer”. In 1852 a semi- autobiographical sketch was published by the leading literary journal of the day. It met with great success and led to his extraordinary career. His War and Peace “cre- ated a fantastic out-pouring of popular and critical reaction” and represented “a high point in the history of world literature”. His second masterwork was Anna Karenina. His only recordings were excerpts from his book, For Every Day, recorded at his estate on 31 Oct., 1909. These included a short disc in English, one a bit longer in French, and the rarest and most extended, a 12” recording in Russian, which is presented below. 3952. 12” Blk. Angel Gram.

TRILUSSA (CARLO ALBERTO SALUSTRI) [poet]. Rome, 1873-1950. An Italian dialect poet, he was better known by his pen name of Trilussa (an anagram of his surname, “Salustri”). He is best recalled for his poems, some of them sonnets, written in Roman dialect. Trilussa lived a very poor childhood, as his father had died when he was only three years old. After irregular studies, he made a very early poetical debut in 1887 in the Rugantino magazine directed by Alfredo Zanazzo. Later he wrote also for Don Chisciotte, Capitan Fracassa, Il Messaggero and Il Travaso delle idee. His first collection, Le Stelle de Roma ("Rome's Stars"), is from 1889. Trilussa's fame grew in the 1920s and 1930s, though he was not a part of any literary circle, preferring to be in the streets and taverns, which were the source of his inspiration. His poetry features the petite bourgeoise of Rome: the housewife, the store clerk, the servant, but also contain strong satirical denunciations against governments and the vices of rich people. Some of the sonnets are Aesop- like moralistic fables. Trilussa's own sketches and drawings were featured alongside his poetry. A very popular person in his city and Italy, Trilussa was named Life Senator on December 1, 1950, by the Italian President Luigi Einaudi. He died twenty days later. – Internet sources 1809. 10” Maroon elec. It. Columbia D5726 [WB1589/WB1590]. ER DUELLO DE IERE; LA MADRE BONA / ER PUDORE (all Trilussa).
