Legacy Finding Aid for Manuscript and Photograph Collections Legacy Finding Aid for Manuscript and Photograph Collections 801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 What are Finding Aids? Finding aids are narrative guides to archival collections created by the repository to describe the contents of the material. They often provide much more detailed information than can be found in individual catalog records. Contents of finding aids often include short biographies or histories, processing notes, information about the size, scope, and material types included in the collection, guidance on how to navigate the collection, and an index to box and folder contents. What are Legacy Finding Aids? The following document is a legacy finding aid – a guide which has not been updated recently. Information may be outdated, such as the Historical Society’s contact information or exact box numbers for contents’ location within the collection. Legacy finding aids are a product of their times; language and terms may not reflect the Historical Society’s commitment to culturally sensitive and anti-racist language. This guide is provided in “as is” condition for immediate use by the public. This file will be replaced with an updated version when available.

Founded in 1894, it serves a diverse audience through its collections, public programs, exhibits, and publications. 801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 www.DCHistory.org SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: MS 0846, Clarence Hewes Scrapbook Collection, 1906-1962 Processor: David G. Wood Processed Date: April 2016 [Finding Aid last updated April 12, 2016] Clarence Bussey Hewes was born in Jeanerette, Louisiana, on February 1, 1890, to Harry Bartram and Nellie Bussey Hewes. The family also included Clarence’s two sisters, Amy (later Mrs. Robert Edmund Floweree) and Florence (later Mrs. Arthur Breese Griswold). Harry Hewes, a native of Texas, had come to Louisiana in the 1880s and made a fortune developing the local lumber industry. According to articles found in the scrapbooks, the Hewes were descended from a North Carolina family that included Joseph Hewes of Edenton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who organized the first American naval force. Hewes attended the Dixon Academy in Covington, Louisiana; the University of Virginia (LL.B., 1914); and Tulane University (Bachelor of Laws in Civil Law, 1915). He came to Washington, D.C., in 1916, and in 1917-1918 served as private secretary to the Honorable Charles C. McChord, one of the commissioners heading the Interstate Commerce Commission. On February 10, 1919, he began a career at the Department of State, assigned as Third Secretary at the U.S. Legation in Panama. He then served at the U.S. embassies or legations in the Netherlands (1920-1922), and Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala (1922-1924), before being assigned as First Secretary at the embassy in Peking, China. He remained in China until 1930 when he was designated First Secretary at the embassy in Berlin, Germany. In 1932, he was assigned as First Secretary at the ministry in Riga, Latvia, his last post before resigning from the State Department in 1933. In October 1931, Hewes married the widowed Mrs. L.M. Josephthal (the former Edyth G. Guggenheim, daughter of Isaac Guggenheim of New York and niece of Senator Simon Guggenheim of Colorado and of Solomon R. Guggenheim.) The couple appear to have led largely separate lives. After leaving the State Department, Hewes remained in Washington, living at 2358 Massachusetts Avenue—where a nearby neighbor was friend Alice Roosevelt 1 Longworth—while Mrs. Hewes resided on E. 70 th Street in New York City. According to one of Alice Roosevelt’s biographers, “Buzzy Hewes was a curious character, married only in the legal sense—he lived in Washington, his wife in New York, and they had a pact never to exchange visits. For years he had served as an extra man at Alice’s dinner parties. … [He served in the Foreign Service] before retiring in 1933 to a life of attending and giving dinners and issuing opinions on matters of good taste and manners—for example, one must never answer an invitation with a ball-point pen and one must never attend a funeral unless one has dined in the dead person’s house at least twice.” 1 When Edyth Hewes died on March 26, 1960, in New York, a contemporary article in the New York Herald-Tribune reported that she left her estate of more than three million dollars to relatives, a friend, and charities, and “said in her will that provision for her husband had been made in an ‘ante-nuptial agreement.’” According to the scrapbooks, Hewes had two godsons. Munro Magruder was the son of Brigadier General John Magruder, a military attaché at the U.S. embassy in Peking from 1926 to 1930 (where Hewes was assigned at the time). Munro was born there in March 1927; he later attended St. Alban’s School in Washington and graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1949. He was killed in action in Korea in 1950. The other godson, Richard Nye, was the son of Gerald Prentice Nye, the Senator from North Dakota (from 1925 to 1945) who played a prominent role in exposing the Teapot Dome scandal. Hewes was politically active, serving on the Republican State Committee for the District of Columbia; he was an alternate D.C. delegate to the Republican National Conventions of 1948 and 1952 (among his social and political friends was Senator Robert Taft, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination in those years) and also attended the 1960 Republican Convention. Hewes was also an officer of the Washington chapter of the “America First Committee,” a group opposing U.S. entry into World War II, and editorials he authored (included in the scrapbooks) clearly state his opposition to racial integration of public schools. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution (his application is included in the records of the D.C. Chapter of that organization, which are among HSW’s collections--see MS 0799), the American Geographical Society, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity; and was listed for a number of years in Who’s Who in America. He was also an early member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Hewes’ background and position in the Foreign Service provided entrée into the world of Washington society, where he acquired the nickname “Buzzy,” probably a variation of his middle name (his mother’s family surname). His innumerable friends and acquaintances included U.S. and foreign diplomats, government officials, military officers, members of European nobility, and wealthy individuals who did not reside in Washington. In fact, while Washington was his “permanent” residence after 1933, Hewes traveled extensively; typically, he was away in January and February—usually Palm Beach followed by New Orleans to attend the Mardi Gras festivities—and again during the summer months—generally European locales, except for the World War II and immediate postwar years, when he chose New England or other American destinations. Accordingly, he was a frequent invitee to dinners, teas, luncheons, weddings, balls, theater parties, and charity events. He appeared regularly in the society columns 1 Felsenthal, Carol, Alice Roosevelt Longworth (G.P Putnam’s Sons; New York; 1988), page 200. (See E 757.3 .F45) 2 of newspapers; many articles attest to his prowess as a desired guest and an excellent host. He apparently was an avid horseman, as there are numerous pictures of him and others on horseback in the scrapbooks as well as tickets to the Royal Enclosure at the Ascot Races, a feature of his annual excursions to Europe; and a cat fancier, as the scrapbooks contain many dated photographs (apparently taken at Hewes’ Washington home) of named cats. Clarence Bussey Hewes died April 21, 1962. He is interred at Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana. Scope and Content Note: The 14 bound scrapbooks contain hundreds of engraved invitations and calling cards, personal notes, and pieces of correspondence. There are also newspaper and magazine clippings; original photographs; and dance cards, menus, performance programs, passenger lists, tickets, and other ephemera. (Many handwritten menus, most in French, appear to be from luncheons and dinners that Hewes hosted at his Washington home.) Many photographs are annotated, apparently by Hewes himself, identifying the people pictured, the locale, and/or the date; if included in the photograph, Hewes consistently identifies himself as “CBH." The scrapbooks’ contents are arranged generally in chronological order, with each volume covering a specified period of time, beginning with volume 1 (1906 to 1920) and ending with volume 14 (1959 to 1962). However, there is some overlap between volumes, and within each scrapbook, items do not follow strict chronological order. Size: 6 cubic ft. (14 volumes, 6 containers) Access Restrictions: The collection is open for research. Use Restrictions: Some material may be copyrighted or restricted. It is the patron's obligation to determine and satisfy copyright or other case restrictions when publishing or otherwise distributing materials found in the collection. Donor: Mrs. Oliver W. Hammond, 1962; 2015.030 Related Material: MS 0841 Adelaide Heath Doig scrapbook collection. Doig, one of Hewes’ Washington, D.C., social acquaintances, also compiled extensive scrapbooks chronicling some of the same events and persons represented in Hewes’ collection. 3 Processor’s Note: Researchers may find useful the following biographical information on Mr. Hewes’ Washington, D.C.

  • Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal. NB: The indication [DS] refers the reader to sources that are reproduced in the documentation portfolio that accompanies this article.

  • PART THREE the Later Commissioner Period
    PART THREE The Later Commissioner Period (1913-40) Folks have dogs but don’t buy tags. A crowd collects to watch the chase. A little colored fellow runs up to the house. “They’re after yo’ dawg, Mis’ Caroline,” he yells. (Evening Star, 3 Aug 1924, p. 11) The first half of the twentieth century saw two important developments in the District’s (and probably nation’s) animal-control situation (wandering farm animals having already largely disappeared): The regular threat, or at least fear, of rabies outbreaks largely disappeared, converting homeless dogs from dangers to pitiable waifs in need of help; Citizen-organized shelters, oriented more to the welfare than control of strays, bred and flourished. These shelters cared for cats as well as dogs. These trends grew in urbanized Washington until they overwhelmed the traditional pound operations and ultimately subsumed them. Important official studies and new laws and regulations of the late 1930s and early ‘40s cemented these changes. Sources: For this period our sources remain the same as the previous one but generally become scantier. Commissioners Annual Reports shrank back to one volume by the early 1920s and WHS annual reports have been lost. Many local newspapers are not available on-line (and therefore searchable) because of copyright restrictions. 154 Hayden M. Wetzel CHAPTER TWENTY The Pound Under Later Poundmasters Samuel Einstein died on 9 July 1911, succeeded as poundmaster by Emil Kuhn on 13 July.1 His appointment seems to have been a patronage effort; Kuhn was an active Republican, earlier employed by the Pittsburg “department of charities” (sic), but for the previous three years an elevator operator in the House of Representatives office building until a change of administration there.

    ARSC New York Chapter MARCH 2014 Meeting !!NOTE CHANGE OF DATE!! 7 P. M. Thursday, 3/27/14 at the CUNY Sonic Arts Center West 140th Street & Convent Avenue, New York or, enter at 138th Street off Convent Avenue Shepard Hall (the Gothic building) – Recital Hall (Room 95, Basement level) An elevator is located in the center of the building ARSCNY is again pleased to present “The Two Gary’s” (Galo and Thalheimer, respectively) …reprising their gala presentations of recordings by Lauritz Melchior (“The Great Dane: Lauritz Melchior – A 40th Anniversary Tribute”) and German singers in Verdi roles. Both are expanded versions of presentations given at the ARSC national conference in Kansas City, MO in May 2013. Danish tenor Lauritz Melchior (1890-1973) was arguably the greatest Wagnerian tenor in the history of that species. Melchior began his career as a baritone, making his operatic debut as Sivlio in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci at the Royal Opera, Copenhagen in 1913. On the advice of Mme. Charles Cahier, Melchior restudied as a tenor with Vilhelm Herold, and made a second debut in 1918 in the title role of Wagner’s Tannhäuser. After further studies with Anna Bahr-Mildenburg, Melchior began his international career at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1924 as Siegmund in Wagner’s Die Walküre, followed by a Bayreuth debut later that year, and a Metropolitan Opera debut in 1926. Melchior combined a voice of unrivalled power with a true bel canto production, allowing him to remain virtually unchallenged in the heldentenor repertoire until his retirement from the stage in 1950.

Peru formally requested restitution in 1918 and 1920, but to no avail. In 2001, negotiations between Peru and Yale University resumed. However, the resulting accord discontented the Peruvian Government. As a result, Peru filed suit in the United States against Yale University seeking the return of the collection and damages. In November 2010, the parties signed an agreement on the return of the Machu Picchu collection to Peru. As part of that accord, Yale University and the Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco (UNSAAC) established the UNSAAC- Yale University International Centre for the Study of Machu Picchu and Inca Culture.
