Today he is acknowledged as “father of the sky- scraper” and “prophet of modernism,” but histori- ans have always had trouble fi tting his work and his teachings into the progressive cycle of modern architectural history. Sullivan’s famous dictum “Form follows function” is what theorists wanted to hear and to repeat; but this oft-quoted statement is not easy to reconcile with Sullivan’s own style – the highly decorative, organic designs for cast iron and terra cotta ornamentation – beautiful but nonfunc- tional elements which captured photographers’ attention and form the basis of the current exhibits. In his youth, Sullivan was a talented but restless student. He dropped out of school at both MIT and the Ecole des Beaux Arts, fi nding their curriculum Arched ceiling in the Auditorium building, too restrictive.

The move to document Sullivan’s buildings thus took on a heightened sense of urgency and drama. Richard Nickel, one of Siskind’s students, dedicated his life to preserving Sullivan’s architecture, moving beyond photography to the actual rescue of ornamental fragments. Nickel fell to his death during the demolition of the Board of Trade building. “Looking After Louis Sullivan,” the exhibit as- sembled by Elizabeth Siegel at the Art Institute of Chicago, thus brings together the work of devoted photographers, innovators in architectural photography, with the original designs that inspired their work – and casts light on the circumstances that characterized their lives and their times.

Richard Nickel’s photograph of the Garrick Theatre, taken during demolition Also in 1893, an economic recession struck the country, ultimately resulting in dissolution of Adler & Sullivan’s architectural ﬁ rm. Since Adler had done most of the marketing, Sullivan received fewer and fewer commissions. He closed his ofﬁ ce in the Auditorium Building, moved into a dingy hotel on Chicago’s south side, and sunk deeper into debt and alcoholism. Frank Lloyd Wright, once his appren- tice, paid for his funeral. Sullivan had been dead more than 30 years when John Szarkowski, a young photographer from Wis- consin, published his ground-breaking book, “The Curvilinear detail of a frieze, executed in cast iron THE Page 4 October 7, 2010

THE Page 10 October 7, 2010 “Seven in One Blow” Opens A delightful production suitable for families and children, “Seven In One Blow: or The Brave Little LUXURY Kid”, is adapted from a classic fairy tale by The TOWNHOME Brothers Grimm. This interactive play with music DEVELOPMENT is conceived by Randy Sharp and the Axis Theatre Company of New York and features a blend of technology and live performance. Children in the audi- LOCATED IN THE ence will occasionally be encouraged to participate “HEART OF LAKE COUNTRY” with singing and organized ‘shout-outs’. This is ap- propriate for ages 5 and up. ‘The Brave Little Kid’ who lives in the city, kills seven fl ies in one blow and makes a belt with ‘Seven FINAL PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION In One Blow’ on it to commemorate the event. As he travels and meets people, most of them think the belt refers to killing seven people and assign the Kid all kinds of diffi cult tasks based on this faulty pre- sumption. Along the way, we learn a few interesting things: an Ogre fi nds out he doesn’t have to always show how strong you are, a girl realizes that when you tease someone, you might be hurting them; a scary monster understands that she is loved and not so scary after all. In the end, the Kid discovers that a parents’ love and care has no bounds. This is the fi rst show of its kind to be performed by children and adults at La Porte Little Theatre. Bring the entire family to this unique and highly entertaining experience.

WOT, which stands for Web of Trust, offers some decent protec- tion against dangerous links and websites. It has, on plenty of occasions, warned me not to click on a particular link or access a particular webpage. But even with WOT, my lapse in diligence caught me in a trap. I was informed by an email pal that a similar spam scan has attacked Facebook users. She also sent this information: Symantec reports that 95% of all spam is gener- ated by botnets, infected machines that are used by cyber criminals as automated and anonymous spammers. One such botnet, known as Rostock, is responsible for 41% of the spam produced.... “...results can be anything from creating another THE October 7, 2010 Page 15 botnet “zombie” machine to draining bank accounts to gaining access to highly sensitive or even classi- fi ed information.

My name is Judith (Judy) Joseph. I’m the legacy: the dancing teacher, Ballet Lady, dancer/actress that Sally Montgomery taught, created, mentored, fed, critiqued, and called “her swan” for over 50 years. This is a story about a few of those years. And the 5 friends I love as family. And the Montgomery family I love as friends. It’s dedicated to the Montgomery grand- daughters: Jenny, who knows which walls have secrets in Nana’s 10th Street house and Emily, who helped me stay level as we watched Sally leaving.

Jeanoma said it best when she summed up the experience of artistic creativity as “intimate” and at its best is practiced in a “safe” environment. Sally gave us that - safety to open our young hearts and minds completely as our bodies learned the “rules” of the art of ballet. She also introduced us to the great Laurent Novikoff. More on that later. Sally was 87 when she collapsed at the fi nish of grande battements in a Brelsfoard ballet class, May 2010 (one of the 4-5 classes she took every week). She lost consciousness that evening and never regained it. I fi rst met Sally Montgomery when she was teaching ballet on the second fl oor of “the old Elston Building” in Michigan City.

I know there were others in the class (as Kar- en reminded me!), but my mind was too full of Mrs. Montgomery’s presence to notice. The question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” was answered during that hour. A Montgomery dancer! In 1952 she and husband, Jerry, moved into a 2-fl at house which they remodeled to hold a studio, reception area and dressing room as well as their apartment and one to rent. I’ve owned “her house” at 211 W 10th Street, for 30-some years. In 1995 architect, Jerry Hyndman re-designed the interior for me. I gave him free reign except for one thing: leave the studio in the basement as is. Sally, who was taking her ballet classes next door in The Acting Theatre Building, was “walking through” as much as I. Paul Dimke and crew created a palace for both of us. But back to the beginnings... The Montgomery School of Dance became an artistic destination. It was there that Laurent Novikoff, the great Russian Ballet Mas- ter, taught and created during his last years. His Sally practicing name is prominent in dance history as partner to at the barre.

As she gave herself over to the Russian Vagonova style of ballet, Mr. N. saw a real ballerina developing. He also selected 10 of her students to teach every Saturday afternoon in the Sally with Bill Sturgis in 10th Street studio; in the 3 weekday classes that “Coppelia” in 1954 followed, Sally taught us based on the previous Novikoff lesson. We were taught how to write as well as speak the French ballet terminology and were required to memorize certain classes. It was tough, if Sally said it was important, it was. Novikoff began forming a company made up of dancers who came from Chicago. “Sally’s Ballet” - as we called ourselves - were used for minor roles. But soon Sandy and Laura were featured. He immediately got assistance from The Dunes Arts Foundation (Nora and Tyler MacAlvay with Grace Saunders and crew provided local assistance to area artists as well as beginning the fi rst Children’s Theatre in the area). When they asked Michiana Summer Theater for stage space on their “dark nights”, it was not only given, but

(late 1970s) Mr. Novikoff died in the late spring of 1956, after giving us the four last years of his life. I remember arriving at his funeral in New Buffalo, where he is buried. “Sally’s Ballet” went together with dear Ber- nice Swayne (who was Sally’s school receptionist). Mrs. Swayne was elderly and all about decorum. She told us that we were not to cry because we had to be strong for Sally.

Michiana was a professional summer stock theater owned by a Chicago theatrical producer (named Barnum) which ran 15-20 years until taken over by DAF as a community summer theater in 1959. Every summer he presented ballet classics like “Coppelia”, “Swan Lake”, “Sleeping Beauty” and one act Russia ballets including “Les Preludes” and “The Queen of Hearts”.
