  • 03 – Spinning the Record
    II: RADIO, ELECTRICALS AND ALL THAT JAZZ The technological and musical revolution heard ‘round the world All the while that the record industry was growing and expanding, other technological advances were slowly growing and gaining perfection. Films were one; thanks to the techno- logical innovations of Pathé and the creative experiments of such directors as Georges Mélies, F.W. Murnau and D.W. Griffith, they reached by the end of the ‘teens a surprisingly high level of achievement. But films were an obvious form of media growth: they were in the pub- lic eye and even influenced the culturally proficient. (Many people still do not know that the great tenor Enrico Caruso actually proposed marriage to actress Billie Burke—who much later in life gained immortality as Glenda in “The Wizard of Oz”—on the strength of her radi- ant presence in the movies. She jilted him.) Much less obvious to the general public were some behind-the-scenes experiments that were being perfected in laboratories around the world. Most students of media history know how in 1894, at age 20, Guglielmo Marconi in- vented his spark transmitter with antenna at his home in Bologna. He took his “black box” to Great Britain in February 1896 and, though it was broken by custom officials, he filed for a patent on 2 June 1896 and began to build his world empire of Marconi companies. Less well-known, but equally as important in the long run, was a Danish inventor named Valdemar Poulsen. On 1 December 1898—at about the same time that Berliner discs and Bettini cylinders were really getting off the ground—he patented the first magnetic re- corder, called the “telegraphone,” which used steel wire.

    Collection 492 Pope, Andrew S. (1935- ). Collection, 1753-2018, n.d. 79 feet, 9.5 inches; oversize Andrew Pope is a native of Jonesboro, LA. For college, he attended Southwestern Louisiana Institute (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and graduated in 1958. He was then drafted into the U.S. Army, where he worked at the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, MD. He left the service in 1961 and worked as a Department of Defense security specialist for 37 years. As a teenager, Mr. Pope collected opera memorabilia and listened to music programs on the radio. Living near Louisiana Polytechnic Institute in Ruston (now Louisiana Tech University), he was able to attend many concerts. In 1957 Mr. Pope heard the famous tenor Jussi Bjorling in recital and received an autographed program, which sparked his interest in collecting opera autographs. After 43 years of opera and concerts, he amassed a large collection with the help of many dealers. Mr. Pope currently resides in Minden, LA. This collection contains opera and theater memorabilia Mr. Pope collected over the years. The materials include photographs of vocalists, programs, letters, publicity, music sheets, and postcards. A great number of the photographs and letters have been framed. Andrew Pope donated this collection. Series: A. Personal 1-01 through 1-05 B. Photographs 1-06 through 1-18 C.

  • LOUISE KIRKBY LUNN [C] 3044
    VOCAL 78 rpm DISCS EDWARD LLOYD [t]. London, 1845-Worthing, 1927. Lloyd was the major British concert and oratorio tenor of the last quarter of the 19th century. He began as a chorister at Westminster Abbey and was subsequently engaged for St. Andrews and then the Chapel Royal. His solo career began in 1871, singing the tenor solo in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion at the Gloucester Festival. He received much acclaim through his singing of this work, as well as in oratorios of Händel, Mendelssohn, and other com- posers, notably Elgar. He was a particular favorite of Elgar and created the tenor solos in that composer’s Caractacus (1898) and The Dream of Gerontius (the year of his farewell, 1900). While he was no longer EDWARD LLOYD, pianist Mme. Adami and unidentified cellist heard regularly on the stage, Lloyd made a recording, circa 1907 number of records for the Gramophone Company in London, 1902 to 1911. Lloyd’s American debut was at the Cincinnati May Festival in 1888. His colleague, baritone Charles Santley, described him physically as “a nice, plump little gentleman”. The New York Times gave a more thorough description on his arrival in 1888. He “looks and acts about as much like a good-natured New York business man as anybody else. He is of medium height, stocky in build, and rather florid of face. He has pleasant dark eyes and dark hair that is just tinged with gray and is brushed down very smooth. A neat mustache is the only hair he wears on his face.
