Robert W. Graham Featured in Laugh Provoking Comedy; Unemployed to Benefit" (1 & 8 - AC, CO, CW, GD, and LA) - "Long ago it was decided that the chief aim of the Players' Club should be to entertain its members rather than to educate them or enlighten them on social questions or use them as an element in developing new ideas and methods in the Little Theatre movement."2 Philip Barry's "The Youngest" fit the bill very well. "Antiques, Subject of Woman's Club. Chippendale Furniture Discussed by Instructor at School of Industrial Art. Art Comm. Program" (1 - AE and WO) - Edward Warwick, an instructor at the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art, spoke to the Woman's Club on "The Chippendale Style in America." "Legion Charity Ball Jan. 14. Tickets Almost Sold Out for Benefit Next Friday Evening. Auxiliary Assisting" (1 & 4 - CW, LA, MO, SN, VM, and WO) - "What was begun as a Benefit Dance for the Unemployed has grown into a Charity Ball sponsored by the local America Legion Post with every indication of becoming Swarthmore's foremost social event of the year." The article listed the "patrons and patronesses" of the dance. Illustration by Frank N. Smith: "Proposed Plans for New School Gymnasium" with caption "Drawings of schematic plans for development of gymnasium and College avenue school buildings" (1 & 4 - BB, CE, and SC) - showed "how the 1.035 acres of ground just west of the College avenue school which was purchased from Swarthmore College last spring might be utilized for the enlargement of the present building into a single school plant." "Fortnightly to Meet on Monday" (1 - AE and WO) - At Mrs. Hervey Schumacher's3 on Haverford Avenue, Mrs. Clifford was to review On Forsythe [sic] Change,4 Mrs. 1 This was the first issue posted for 1931. 2 The article is referring to the distance between the Players' Club's crowd-pleasing choices of plays and an early 20th-century movement in the U. S. "to free dramatic forms of production from the limitations of the large commercial theatres by establishing small experimental centres of drama." From britannica.com/art/little- theatre-American-theatrical-movement (accessed November 30, 2020). 3 A March 27, 1933 obituary in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for 60-year-old Hervey Schumacher of Swarthmore mentioned his widow, Florence A. Schumacher. From newspapers.com/clip/60956138/obit/ (accessed November 30, 2020). 4 England's Nobel-Prize-winner John Galsworthy (1867-1933) wrote several works about the British Forsyte family between 1906 and 1922. On Forsyte Change, a later contribution, was published in 1930. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forsyte_Saga (accessed November 30, 2020). 1 Schumacher was to review an article by Ossip Gabrilowitsch,5 and Mrs. Perry was to "contribute an anecdote." "John F.

Budget Being Prepared to Show Amount Available for Project; Seek Tax Cut" (1 - BB, CE, CO, SS, and TX) "F. Scott McBride to Speak Here. W. C. T. U. Sponsors Meeting at Methodist Church Wednesday Evening. Anti-Saloon Head" (1 - LQ, PO, and WO) - "Dr. F. Scott McBride,6 famed and widely publicised head of the National Anti-Saloon League of America", was coming to speak in a time slot that was to "take the place of Prayer Meetings in the other churches of the borough and make it possible for everyone to attend." Mrs. W. H. VanAlen, Swarthmore's W. C. T. U. president, was to "act as chairman of the meeting which is expected to attract a wide audience both those in sympathy with prohibition and also those opposed to it." "Select School Seal" (1 - CE) - for junior, sophomore, and senior class pins and rings "Organ Recital at Trinity Church" (2 - AC and RS) - by Lucius Rogers Shero, organist and choirmaster "Chorus Rehearsal" (2 - AC and WO) - of Woman's Club "Circulating Picture Club Exhibition This Month" (2 - AC, AE, PN, and WO) - "Pilgrimages of women's clubs from counties adjacent to Philadelphia will be made this month to the annual exhibition of the Philadelphia Art Alliance Circulating Picture Club." A "picture-lending plan" of the Art Alliance enabled "schools, clubs, libraries, recreation centers, business men and private individuals" to "borrow paintings and etchings by the payment of a moderate membership fee." 5 Gabrilowitsch (1878-1936 - Osip Salomonovich Gabrilovich, per the standard transliteration from the Russian, emigrated from tsarist Russia in 1894 and is best known as a pianist and the husband of the singer Clara Clemens, daughter of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain). From imslp.org/wiki/Category:Gabrilowitsch%2C_Ossip (accessed November 30, 2020). 6 Francis Scott McBride (1872-1955) was born in Ohio and ordained as a Presbyterian minister after studying at the Muskingum College and Allegheny Theological Seminary. As a member of the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League's board of directors, McBride became involved in prohibition advocacy, as of 1911 working for the League of Illinois. In 1924 he became superintendent of the National League.

Ellis argued that although communism was not going to spread, "dictators are on the increase instead of diminishing and today the countries of Europe are in a race preparing for war, which probably will have its inception where the World War was born, in Jugo-Slavia." A conversation with Sir John Reeth in London made it clear to Ellis that the British 'realize that imperialism must go', and that this applied to India, China, and the "muddle" they had created in Jerusalem. "Dr. Ellis was in Berlin when Hilter [sic] became prominent. The Swarthmorean mingled with crowds in front of the Reichstag", and learned that the 'young people . are fed up on the former classification and social ostracism as practiced in pre-war days.' They wanted peace, and 'it [was] up to America to show the world the way out.' Ad: "Swarthmore National Bank and Trust Company" (3 - QA) - balance sheet of the bank's assets ($1,677,870.92) and liabilities ($1,677,870.92) as of December 31, 1930 "'Pinwheel' Opening at Hedgerow Theatre'" (4 - AC) - "Pinwheel," whose first performance was that evening, marked the Hedgerow's 72nd production. Also being staged were "A Doll's House" by Ibsen and "Like Falling Leaves" by [Giuseppe] Giacosa. "Church News"7 (4 - RS) – Methodists, Presbyterians, Friends, Episcopalians, and Christian Scientists "Classified" (5 - CE and QA) - "Wanted - Gentleman whose business requires considerable traveling wishes to place boy and girl in Swarthmore home, convenient to High School. Homelike surroundings and good environment essential. Telephone Swarthmore 960." "Sheriff Sales" (5 - RE) "'Strictly Dishonorable'8 Opens at Broad" (6 - AC and PN) - "Brock Pemberton's production of Preston Sturges' enormously diverting comedy" featured Cesar Romero in the Philadelphia cast. "Hollyhock Seeds" (6 - GN and LP) - These seeds "from the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Russell on the Brandywine" were available at the Hollyhock Gift Shop. The 7 As was the case in December 1930, the Wesley A. M. E. Church was not listed among Swarthmore's religious institutions. 8 Having premiered on Broadway in 1929, this play was made into a film in 1931 and again in 1951. See imdb.com/title/tt0022437/ (accessed December 1, 2020). 3 announcement was followed by a poem by J. R. H.9 that began 'O for a garden of the olden time'. "New Books at Public Library" (6 - BB) "Population Increase" (6 - BB and SL) - Swarthmore's population rose from 2,350 in 1920 to 3,405 in 1930, as recorded in the U. S. Department of Commerce's 15th census. "Interdenominational Tea on Wednesday" (6 - IR, LX, RS, and WO) - at the Methodist Church with a talk on "The Rising Tide of Expectancy in South America" by Miss Martha Harman, "chairman of the Chambersburg Interdenominational Summer School of Missions" "Birth Control Clinics Described in Swarthmore Woman's Book" (7 – CP, CR, EU, OB, SL, SN, and TS) - "The Swarthmorean has found it opportune this week, while scathing condemnations of birth control are being broadcast by Pope Pius XI, to call attention to the courageous and highly intelligent work on the same subject which has just been released in book form by a Swarthmore woman, Caroline Hadley Robinson."10 The book, Seventy Birth Control Clinics, was based on Robinson's experience at birth control clinics in the U. S. and Europe, and it was published in Maryland, where "the laws prohibiting the dissemination of information concerning birth control are not as strict as in Pennsylvania and other Eastern states." Its publication, however, put Robinson at risk of a $5,000 fine and five years in prison. Much of this article reproduced favorable reviews of the work, including one from the American Eugenics Society's publication, which pointed out that the target audience - "social and health workers in family welfare groups and in family medical centers" - were "in direct contact with those strata of society which stand most sorely in need of contraceptive advice." The Swarthmore Public Library was given a copy, "affording the people of Swarthmore an opportunity to read it." "H.

  • Leonard Slatkin at 70: the DSO's Music Director Was Born for The
    Leonard Slatkin at 70: The DSO’s music director was born for the podium By Lawrence B. Johnson Some bright young musicians know early on that they want to be a conductor. Leonard Slatkin, who turned 70 Slatkin at 70: on September 1, had a more specific vision. He believed himself born to be a music director. Greatest Hits “First off, it was pretty clear that I would go into conducting once I had the opportunity to actually lead an orchestra,” says Slatkin, music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 2008 and occupant of the same post with the Orchestre National de Lyon since 2011. “The study process suited my own ethic and, at least for me, I felt relatively comfortable with the technical part of the job.” “But perhaps more important, I knew that I would also be a music director. Mind you, this is a very different job from just getting on the podium and waving your arms. The decision making process and the ability to shape a single ensemble into a cohesive whole, including administration, somehow felt natural to me.” Slatkin arrived at the DSO with two directorships already under his belt – the Saint Louis Symphony (1979-96) and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. (1996-2008) – and an earful of caution about the economically distressed city and the hard-pressed orchestra to which he was being lured. But it was a challenge that excited him. “Almost everyone warned me about the impending demise of the orchestra,” the conductor says. “A lot of people said that I should not take it.

  • Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, 55, Twain's Last Direct Heir, Dies
    Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch dies Home | Quotations | Newspaper Articles | Special Features | Links | Search The New York Times, January 19, 1966 Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, 55, Twain's Last Direct Heir, Dies LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18 (AP) - The county Coroner's office reported today that Miss Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, the last direct descendant of Mark Twain, had died Sunday. She was 55 years old. Miss Clemens was found dead in her room at a Los Angeles motel where she often stayed. Several bottles of pills and alcohol were found in the room, the police said. An autopsy was planned. A Los Angeles bartender said today that Miss Clemens had quipped to him on Saturday night: "When I die, I want artificial flowers, jitterbug music and a bottle of vodka at my grave." She was the granddaughter of Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. She preferred to use the writer's family name rather than her own. Miss Clemens, who was born four months after her grandfather died, once said that although she had never known him she knew his works "backwards and forwards." Miss Clemens was the daughter of Twain's daughter, Mrs. Clara Langhorne Clemens Samoussoud, and Clara's first husband, Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Mr. Gabrilowitsch was conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra from 1919 until his death in 1936. Miss Clemens's mother died in San Diego on Nov. 19, 1962. A family attorney, Al Matthews, said Miss Clemens had lived on the income of Twain's estate, which he estimated at about $2-million. He said Miss Clemens had an income of $1,500 a month after taxes.

  • Swarthmore Inaugurates Eleventh President
    S w a r t h m o r e COLLEGE BULLETIN, ALUM NI ISSUE JAN U ARY, 1974 Theodore Woo< Swarthmore Inaugurates Eleventh President On a brilliant October day, as the tulip poplars shed their leaves around the assembled guests in the Scott Outdoor Auditorium, Theodore Wood Friend III was inaugurated the eleventh president of Swarthmore College. The simple ceremony presided over by Stephen G. Lax ’41, chairman of the Board of Managers, included two selections by the College Chorus, members of the orchestra, and guest instrumentalists, under the direction of Peter Gram Swing, and an address by President Friend. The academic procession was composed of members of the Board, Faculty, Student Council, and distinguished visitors. Among the nearly twenty college presidents who attended were those from Williams, President Friend’s alma mater; Pomona, which has an exchange program with Swarthmore; the University of Pennsylvania, Barnard, a number of nearby institutions, and some Quaker colleges. Some 50 other representatives from colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher learning also attended. In his address President Friend spoke of “the original aims of the College, of authority and responsibility in its current organization, of the principles of excellence and equality, and of reason and faith in the temper of all that we do here.” He found occasion to quote from the inaugural remarks of the sixth president of Swarthmore, Joseph Swain, in speaking of the relationship of the various con­ stituencies of the College to each other. “Perhaps because he, as I, came here from a state university, I easily share his perspective.

  • The Afterlives of Elizabeth Barrett Browning
    This is a postprint! The Version of Record of this manuscript has been published and is available in a/b: Auto/Biography Studies 31:1 (2016), 83-107, http://www.tandfonline.com, DOI: 10.1080/08989575.2016.1092789. The Notable Woman in Fiction: The Afterlives of Elizabeth Barrett Browning Julia Novak Abstract: Drawing on gender-sensitive approaches to biographical fiction, this paper examines fictional representations of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, from Carola Oman’s Miss Barrett’s Elopement to Laura Fish’s Strange Music. With a focus on their depiction of her profession, the novels are read as part of the poet’s afterlife and reception history. This work was supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under Grant T 589-G23. “Let it be fact, one feels, or let it be fiction; the imagination will not serve under two masters simultaneously,” Virginia Woolf wrote in her review essay “The New Biography.”1 While her observation was addressed to the biographer, Woolf herself demonstrated that for the novelist it was quite permissible, as well as profitable, to mingle fact and fiction in the same work. Her biographical novella of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s cocker spaniel, Flush: A Biography, provides an imaginative account of not only the dog’s experiences and perceptions but also, indirectly, those of its famous poet-owner, whom critic Marjorie Stone introduces as “England’s first unequivocally major female poet” (3). Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s professional achievements as well as her personal history secured her public status as a literary celebrity, which lasted, in varying forms, well beyond the nineteenth century and inspired several other biographical fictions before and after Woolf’s canine biography.

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

    Cinema, democracy and perfectionism CRITICAL POWERS Series Editors: Bert van den Brink (University of Utrecht), Antony Simon Laden (University of Illinois, Chicago), Peter Niesen (University of Hamburg) and David Owen (University of Southampton). Critical Powers is dedicated to constructing dialogues around innova- tive and original work in social and political theory. The ambition of the series is to be pluralist in welcoming work from different philosophical traditions and theoretical orientations, ranging from abstract concep- tual argument to concrete policy-relevant engagements, and encourag- ing dialogue across the diverse approaches that populate the field of social and political theory. All the volumes in the series are structured as dialogues in which a lead essay is greeted with a series of responses before a reply by the lead essayist.
