  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    Pretty Women James H. Caldwell (1793 - 1863) was a multi-talented Englishman who is remembered for his success as a theatrical impresario. He moved to New Orleans in 1820, leased the St. Philip Street Theatre, organized a company of actors, and became the dominant manager of a far-flung theatrical circuit throughout the Mississippi Valley. He soon built the first American playhouse in New Orleans, on Camp Street between Gravier and Poydras (then a remote part of the city). Mr. Caldwell provided his patrons with banquettes (the local name for sidewalks) made from ship gunwhales, 2 1/2 feet wide. His “American Theatre” opened in January 1824 and was illuminated with gas, the first building in the Crescent City to be so lighted. James H. Caldwell The St. Philip Street Theatre Caldwell’s storied St. Charles Theatre first opened in 1835 and is said to have cost more than $300,000 to build and seated upwards of 4,000 theatregoers. Unfortunately, this Neo-Renaissance architectural gem and one of the most grandiose theatres of the South burned to the ground in 1842. The second St. Charles Theatre was rebuilt a year later and hosted some of the greatest performers of the 19th century, including Edwin Booth and a “pretty woman” with an extraordinary voice, Jenny Lind. It, too, was destroyed by fire in 1899. A third St. Charles Theatre was designed in 1902 and eventually became a movie theatre until its demise in 1965. First Theatre St. Charles, Nouvelle Orléans Theatre flourished in the Crescent City in the 1830s and 1840s, and there were often other “pretty women” upon the stage.

  • Sehr Viel Von Meiner Mütterlichen Familie« (H. Heine) Geschichte Und Bedeutung Der Van Gelderns
    I »Sehr viel von meiner mütterlichen Familie« (H. Heine) Geschichte und Bedeutung der van Gelderns Mit 5 Stammtafeln 1. Individualgeschichte - Familiengeschichte -Weltgeschichte' Als Klatsch und Tratsch mag uns häufig genug vorkommen, was an Un­ tersuchungen über den interpretatorisch zu rechtfertigenden Werkzusam­ menhang hinausgeht. Wir pflegen zu lächeln, mit den Achseln zu zucken, und doch habe ich kaum jemals jemanden erlebt, der nicht aus dem priva­ ten Bereich des Dichters eine Anekdote beizusteuern wußte oder sich plötz• lich mehr für die Familie, das Verhältnis zu diesem oder jener zu interes­ sieren begann als für die Variante einer >> Wintermährehen <<-Strophe. Stets hat sich die Biographik für die Lebenssituation interessiert, für Herkunftsort und bestimmende Landschaft, für die Zeitumstände, für die Familiensaga mit ihren Voraussetzungen und Folgen. Damit war in der Bio­ graphie manches verständlicher zu machen oder wenigstens spannender. Heinrich Heine, der Düsseldorfer, der Rheinländer, der Napoleonenthusiast, der jüdische Kaufmannssohn, der gescheiterte Geschäftsmann, der studierte Jurist, der Dichter, der freie Schriftsteller und Journalist, sah sich selbst gern in größeren Zusammenhängen, verknüpfte gern die Privatgeschichte, das individuelle Schicksal, mit dem Weltgeschehen. Auf der Reise von München nach Genua im August 1828 reflektiert der Erzählerangesichts des Schlacht­ feldes von Marengo die unauflösliche Verquickung der Weltgeschichte mit den Lebensläufen und betont dabei die Bedeutung des einzelnen: 1 >>Sehr viel von meiner mütterlichen Familie« (H. Heine) Aber ach!, jeder Zoll, den die Menschheit weiter rückt, kostet Ströme Blutes; und ist das nicht etwas zu theuer? Ist das Leben des Individuums nicht vielleicht ebenso viel werth wie das des ganzen Geschlechtes? Denn jeder einzelne Mensch ist schon eine Welt, die mit ihm geboren wird und mit ihm stirbt, unter jedem Grabstein liegt eine Weltgeschichte- (DHA VII/1, 71) Individuum und Geschichte, Menschenherz und Weltgeist - Heine hatte in seinem autobiographischen >>Reiscbild<< >>Ideen.

  • Histoire De L'alsace
    Histoire de l’Alsace Tome VII Comté de Ferrette Kevin Smith http://www.lessmiths.com/~kjsmith/html/main.shtml 2017 KJ Smith i ii INTRODUCTION Ma Serie sur l’Histoire de l’Alsace This little guide stems from my interest in “putting it all together”, for understanding something of the history of Alsace (whence comes my lovely Tome I: Haut-Rhin bride). I am partictularily interested in that history which has left tangible Tome II: Bas-Rhin evidence in the form of many castles dotting the Vosges foothills and the Tome III: Histoire Naturelle fortified towns which often opposed them on the fertile plains below. Not Tome IV: Maison Eguisheim only the towns and castles themselves but the ghosts of those who lived Tome V: Les origines du monachisme en Alsace there, their concerns, motavations, and the broader European social currents Tome VI: Maison Ribeaupierre that influenced and often inundated them. Tome VII: Comté de Ferrette As part of this interest, I have also started to cobble together a set of histories for certian noble families of interest to me. These are mostly families from Haut Rhis, upper Alsace and include the Eguisheim, Ribeaupierre and in this volume, the lords of Ferrette. Each family has participated in the regions' history in ways that provide insights into the larger political history of Alsace. The Ferrette family history starts in the twelth century and flows to extinction in the fourteenth century. The county title “comte de Ferrette” then passes to others including such notables as the Habsburgs, Cardinal Mazarin of France, and today the title is held by the prince of Monaco.

  • A Lorelei Named Alice
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard A Lorelei Named Alice Alice Heine, born in New Orleans on February 10, 1857, became America’s first Princess of Monaco two-thirds of a century before the beautiful and talented film actress, Grace Kelly. Both were blonde. New Orleans born Princess on a Monaco Postage Stamp 1953’s “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” was a smash hit movie starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe. When told she was not the star of the film, Marilyn replied: “Well whatever I am, I’m still the blonde.” Blonde and enticing, Marilyn played the role of Lorelei Lee, which brings to mind those lovely Rhine maidens known as Lorelei who lured the river’s distracted navigators to their dooms. Lorelei is also the name of a soaring rock (some 120 meters above the water) on the eastern bank of the Rhine near St. Goarshausen, Germany. This narrow part of the river has a very strong current, and rocks below the waterline have caused many boat accidents. A famous poem by German poet Heinrich Heine is entitled “Die Lorelei”, a portion of which follows: Die schönste jungfrau sitzet Dort oben wunderbar, Ihr goldenes geschmeide blitzet, Sie kämmt ihr goldenes haar. The English translation is: The loveliest maiden is sitting Up there, wondrous to tell, Her golden jewelry sparkles, She combs her golden hair. Poet Heinrich Heine Herr Heine wrote beautiful verses, and was also the cousin of a lovely siren with golden hair (he was, in fact, her father’s first cousin).

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard A Scandal in Bohemia The “scandal” in question is not “A Scandal in Bohemia”, written by Arthur Conan Doyle, in which Sherlock Holmes (who never spoke to Dr. Watson “of the softer passions”) encountered Irene Adler (who he would always refer to as “the woman”). No, this “scandal” is factual, not fictional, literal, not literary. It involves a young Jewish man who could not go home to face his family, but instead made his way to New Orleans and secured his fortune. Samuel Kohn (1783 - 1853) was a young man born in the village of Hareth, Bohemia (present-day Horany in the Czech Republic). Most would say his youth was wasted on taverns, young women, drinking and gambling. On one fateful evening, in an unseemly gasthaus, the inevitable happened. Some shrewd strangers were either card sharps or luckier at the game than Samuel, and they took him for every silver thaler he had. (The currency known as the thaler originated in St. Joachimsthal in Bohemia, and from it comes the word dollar.) Samuel was distraught. Knowing he could not go home to Mama with the shame and scandal of his folly, he just kept walking. His footsteps took him off to Saaz and finally to the port of Hamburg. He worked for his passage on a sailing ship bound for New Orleans arriving some time around 1806. By the summer of that year an advertisement in the paper announced the opening of an inn at Bayou St.

  • Who Is Noble Included in the Almanach De Gotha?
    WHO IS NOBLE INCLUDED IN THE ALMANACH DE GOTHA? History of Europe's Nobility Reference Book SALVATORE FERDINANDO ANTONIO CAPUTO Page 1 of 206 THE AUTHOR The author was born in a noble family in 1942 when Italy was a kingdom ruled by the House of Savoy, kings of Italy since the Risorgimento1 and previously rules of Savoy. But after 4 years, monarchy was abolished by popular referendum in June 2, 1946. Italy became a republic. At the age of 15, he was brought up in Canada where after he spends his life traveling to Brazil, Guatemala and Philippines as a prominent director of multinational Corporations. Since he became conscious of politics, there has not been a president who he felt was a satisfactory symbol of the countries visited, and who he could admire as a focus for non-partisan patriotism. This is essentially why he came to support monarchy…..although his enthusiasm for royalty dates from childhood. Don Salvatore Ferdinando Antonio Caputo is a monarchist that believes that a hereditary Monarchy, with a Sovereign, non-corrupt one with religious values and culture and tradition, conducted with immense kindness and whose role was thrust upon him by accident of birth rather than by being a politician, is the most perfect form of government in a nation. Contrary to a Republic's President (like France, USA etc.) the Sovereign will insure the continuity in a time schedule. He/she is always aware about important files and he/she acts to push these files up to their conclusion. That is not the case for a president.
