Such is the cautionary tale of the posh Café République, an extravagant enterprise that flourished for just a few years in downtown Washington in the 1910s, serving as a quintessential expression of the fragile exuberance of its times.

In April 1910, a group of local investors organized as the Columbia Cafe Company to open the Café République in remodeled space at the northwest corner of the Corcoran Office Building, located at 15th and F Streets NW, across the street from the Treasury Department.

  • Official America's Reaction to the 1916 Rising
    The Wilson administration and the 1916 rising Professor Bernadette Whelan Department of History University of Limerick Chapter in Ruan O’Donnell (ed.), The impact of the 1916 Rising: Among the Nations (Dublin, 2008) Woodrow Wilson’s interest in the Irish question was shaped by many forces; his Ulster-Scots lineage, his political science background, his admiration for British Prime Minister William Gladstone’s abilities and policies including that of home rule for Ireland. In his pre-presidential and presidential years, Wilson favoured a constitutional solution to the Irish question but neither did he expect to have to deal with foreign affairs during his tenure. This article will examine firstly, Woodrow Wilson’s reaction to the radicalization of Irish nationalism with the outbreak of the rising in April 1916, secondly, how the State Department and its representatives in Ireland dealt with the outbreak on the ground and finally, it will examine the consequences of the rising for Wilson’s presidency in 1916. On the eve of the rising, world war one was in its second year as was Wilson’s neutrality policy. In this decision he had the support of the majority of nationalist Irish-Americans who were not members of Irish-American political organisations but were loyal to the Democratic Party.1 Until the outbreak of the war, the chief Irish-American political organizations, Clan na Gael and the United Irish League of America, had been declining in size but in August 1914 Clan na Gael with Joseph McGarrity as a member of its executive committee, shared the Irish Republican Brotherhood’s (IRB) view that ‘England’s difficulty is Ireland’s opportunity’ and it acted to realize the IRB’s plans for a rising in Ireland against British rule.

The observations were handwritten on broadsheet- sized templates, which were issued by the Meteorological Office in London. At 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily, readings for atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind direction, wind speed, cloud cover and rainfall (among other data) were recorded. Each template sheet also had a field for ‘Remarks’, where observers could record additional information. Generally, an observer might record a thunderstorm, a gale or another unusual weather event in this field but on one occasion, something different was recorded. ‘...observations not taken...’ Easter 1916 The image to the right shows the ‘Remarks’ made by an observer at TCD in April 1916. He writes ‘Owing to the disturbances in Dublin the observations were not taken from 24th to end of month.’ It was, of course, on the 24th of April 1916, that Patrick Pearse stood outside the G.P.O to read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic. The ‘disturbances’ to which our observer referred was the start of the Easter Rising. The meteorological records did not resume again until 18th May 1916. For a period of almost four weeks, weather recordings at TCD stopped.

    29004_U01.qxd 2/6/06 3:54 PM Page 13 Chapter 1 American Variety and/or Foreign Features The Throes of Film Distribution Imagine that you are a young woman who has decided to join one of your store clerk or stenographer friends going to the movies after work in down- town Des Moines, Iowa, in the spring of 1913. On Sunday, May 4, you read the Des Moines News and know what programs will be playing in at least four moving picture theaters that next week.1 On Tuesday, for instance, what are your choices? At the Casino (just opened in December) is Pathé’s Weekly (a newsreel), Essanay’s The Crazy Prospector, and Vitagraph’s Cinders. At the Fam- ily, Bison-101’s two-reel The Indian’s Secret and Billy’s First Quarrel. At the Unique, Majestic’s two-reel Children of St. Anne and Her Sister’s Secret. The Colonial has a special feature (running all week), the five-reel Satan or “The Drama of Humanity . from Creation to the present time.”2 Which theater you and your friend choose could depend on several factors, but, as a fre- quent moviegoer, you could count on familiarity and the relative quality of the variety programs at three of these theaters, each changed daily and sup- plied by a different film service or distributor: the Casino (General Film), the Family (Universal), and the Unique (Mutual). You also could be attracted, however, by Satan’s promotion as a sensational historical epic or by its nov- elty as a special feature (from Europe, no less), since the only previous film of four reels or more to play in the city was Queen Elizabeth, with Sarah

  • Guide to Marianne Moore Series VI Family Correspondence
    Series VI: Family Correspondence Family correspondence is arranged chronologically. Beginning in 1848, it includes letters to and from the Rev. John Riddle Warner (MM’s maternal grandfather) from the time of his early pastoral work in Pennsylvania. Most of these letters (1848-1859) are written by or to Henry and Mary Warner (his parents), Henry Warner (his brother), and Annie Warner (Mrs. Robert) Armstrong (his sister). Other letters addressed “Dear Brother: ae from his ministerial colleagues. Beginning about 1859 there are added letters to and from Jennie Craig, who became his wife in 1860; her brother, George Craig; and the Eyster family, relative of the Craigs. Many letters are addressed from Laurel Hill, Pennsylvania, home of Jennie Craig and her family near Gettysburg. Jennie and John Warner lived near Gettysburg after their marriage. Mary Craig Warner was born to John and Jennie Warner in 1862. In September 1863, Jennie Warner died as a result of the disease which infested the Gettysburg area after the Civil War battle there. Infant Mary went to live with her Warner grandparents in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh). Letters from her to her “Pa” begin about 1870. About 1865, her father moved to Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. When Mary Warner reached high school age, she joined him, and attended the Mary Institute in St. Louis. She married John Milton Moore in 1884 and moved with him to Newton, Massachusetts, where their son, John Warner Moore, was born in 1886. While there, her husband suffered a nervous breakdown, and Mary Warner Moore returned to her father’s home in Kirkwood.
