1937 the Andrews Sisters
Hans Olav Løkken Stjørdal www.historiefortelleren.no 1937 The Andrews Sisters Hun hadde gått noen meter bak de andre og tenkt på broren Ola. Han hadde overtatt Lekåa, var sersjant, skogvokter og nå "bankdirektør". Det siste forstod hun ikke helt hva var for noe. Hun tenkte på far Per, og mor Kari da, som nettopp var død, "uff nei". Og på brevene fra søsknene, Kristen og Ingeborg i Amerika. Brevene som hadde overbevist henne om å utvandre til Amerika. Det skjedde så mye på kort tid. Soffi følte det var ei tung bør å bære. En vanskelig avgjørelse. De hadde flyttet litt att og fram i byen, etter å ha giftet seg i voksen alder. Nå hadde de satt seg ned i Hårstadlia ved Bell, snudd seg en siste gang til dette øyeblikket som ville gi slik smerte. De to eldste sønnene skjønte nok hva som rørte mor og far så sterkt. En skulle tro at de andre ungene også skjønte at dette skulle bli det siste glimtet av omgivelsene deres mor hadde hatt som tumleplass. Nå satt de der alle sammen på bakken, stirret mest tilbake i tomhet, vel vitende om at dette ville bli det siste de så av "heimplassen". Aldri mer skulle de få se "heimen te'o mor" og Selbu igjen. Sterke minner. Sterke følelser. Mor Soffi tørker en tåre. Den snart toårige gamle Olga klatrer opp i hennes fang, krever litt oppmerksomhet - alt var likevel så stille, så forunderlig stille. Olga bryter brått stillheten ved et barns utålmodige lyder - en tone vandrer avsted, fremover - et forvarsel om noe som skulle komme. -

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2014 DAMON WINTER / NEW YORK TIMES Page 1 of 4 DAMON WINTER / NEW YORK TIMES Bradley Cooper at the Booth Theater. Page 2 of 4 T. CHARLES ERICKSON JOAN MARCUS . KEITH BERNSTEIN . Page 3 of 4 Page 4 of 4 November 1, 2014 From Month to Month, in a Work of the Eerie and the Oddball ‘October in the Chair and Other Fragile Things’ By Alexis Soloski A sad tale’s best for winter, Shakespeare tells us. So what’s the right kind of story for this time of year? A spooky one, of course. Old Sound Room, a young company built by recent Yale School of Drama graduates, has five on offer. In “October in the Chair and Other Fragile Things,” an enjoyably eerie if overwrought piece, the ensemble adapts yarns plucked from “Fragile Things,” a collection of miscellany by the fantasy writer Neil Gaiman. On a set bedecked with cobwebs and dead trees, five performers (including the director, Michael McQuilken) play various months of the year. Wearing ragtag clothes and the sort of stage makeup that resembles a wasting disease, they take turns telling anecdotes and legends. (What of the other seven months? I guess it’s a very short year.) August offers a standard-issue chiller; February, a sad romance; May, a metafictional jumble; March, a bit of faux-Victoriana; and October, an early version of Mr. Gaiman’s much-loved “The Graveyard Book.” Much of this is in the story theater vein, with the months narrating the characters’ actions. Mr. Gaiman has a restless, playful intelligence and a fan boy’s devotion to oddball genre, and the performances are deft and spirited. -

The work as approved consists of the removal of two painted iron fire escapes, attached to the south-facing facade, repairing the cast iron cladding where the fire escapes were attached, and touching up the painted façade, all as shown in drawings LPC1 through LPC-5, all dated October 23, 2007, prepared by Steven Harris Architects, LLP, and presented at the Public Hearing and the Public Meeting.

ST. JAMES THEATER (Originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44Th Street
Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1987; Designation List 198 LP-1374 ST. JAMES THEATER (originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44th Street. Built 1926-27; architects, Warren & Wetmore. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1015, Lot 54. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the St. James Theater (originally Erlanger Theater) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 70). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The St. James (built as the Erlanger) Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1926-27, the St. James was designed by the prominent firm of Warren & Wetmore as the last Broadway theater erected for Abraham Erlanger. Abraham Erlanger had been a principal in the infamous Klaw & Erlanger Theatrical Syndicate, which had dominated the American theater industry for several decades on either side of the turn of the century. After the break-up of the Syndicate, Klaw and Erlanger went their separate ways, and each built theaters named for themselves. -

Case Statements
Rebecca Amato City University of New York, The Graduate Center [email protected] Case Statement for NCPH Working Group Public History and Gentrification: A Contentious Relationship Developing the East Village Land use is on the minds of New Yorkers. Since 2002, more than 9400 blocks of the city have been rezoned by the Department of City Planning, comprising about 108 neighborhoods. The massive and rapid rezoning project is part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s PlaNYC 2030, the first city-wide proposal to imagine a comprehensive city plan in New York since 1961. Indeed, most of the neighborhoods under review for zoning changes have not seen such alteration since that year, and for several of them left abandoned by infrastructural improvements like subway lines and parks, a new look from the Department of City Planning appears to be a boon, heralding new investment and better services. Other neighborhoods, however, have reacted to rezoning with trepidation. Known as a “pro-development” mayor, Michael Bloomberg’s PlaNYC sounds to many like a call to raze old neighborhoods and build anew. Preservationists and residents (often, these are the same people) fear a loss of historically significant buildings and a more intangible element, “neighborhood character.” As one New Yorker put it, “I believe that Manhattan dies a little each time middle and working class housing is lost to planned luxury condominium development. Without diversity, which has always made New York special, Manhattan will shortly become a dull sprawling bedroom community for celebrities, Wall Street financiers, rich out-of-towners, and foreign investors." The focus of this case statement is Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood and it involves two general areas of discussion: the ways in which public-historians-as-preservationists have attempted to combat development efforts in the East Village, and the involvement of nearby New York University in pressuring the neighborhood to accommodate its student population through the construction of new dormitories and classrooms.
