IF WINTER COMES

April 2, 1923

If Winter Comes is a four act drama by A.S.M. Hutchinson and B. MacDonald Hastings based on the 1921 novel of the same name by A.S.M. Hutchinson. Produced by Charles Dillingham, it opened on April 2, 1923 at the Gaiety Theatre and ran 40 performances.

The play is set in Mark Sabre's home, a Coroner's Court, and the Offices of Fortune, East & Sabre. The play was performed St. James's Theatre in London, England, from January to March 1923, immediately prior to the play opening on Broadway, although no cast members repeated their roles. After the Broadway production closed, the play toured America with its three leads.

Synopsis ~ Mark Sabre hires young Effie Bright to keep his snobbish wife Mabel company while he goes off to war. When he returns home wounded, he finds that Mabel has fired Effie, who shows up at Mark's door with her baby, having no place to go. Mark takes her in, but Mabel leaves him when the town shuns him for what they believe is going on with Mark and Effie. Matters are further complicated when Effie, driven to desperation, commits suicide, an act that results in Mark having a nervous breakdown.

If Winter Comes was made into a silent film by William Fox / Photoplay in 1923. It is now considered lost. Directed by Harry Millarde, it starred Percy Marmont in what was his breakout role.

In 1947, a sound film was released by MGM, directed by Victor Saville, It starred Deborah Kerr, Walter Pidgeon, and Angela Lansbury.

CRITIQUE

CAST

Cyril Maude (1862-1951) as Mark Sabre. Born in London, Maude became very well known for his role in Grumpy as a spoilt old man, who as a retired lawyer solved a crime to keep his loved ones happy. It played Broadway in 1913-14 for 181 performances. Although he did not do the silent film adaptation in 1923 (due to performance commitments for If Winter Comes), he did do the 1930 talkie. Maude Grumpy to Australia where it was also immensely popular. In 1923 he toured America with Lydia Bilbrook and Mabel Terry-Lewis in If Winter Comes.

Mabel Terry-Lewis (1872-1957) as Mrs. Sabre, was an English actress and a member of the Terry-Gielgud dynasty of actors. After a successful career in her twenties and thirties she married and retired from the stage in 1904. Her husband died in 1917 and she returned to the theatre, continuing to act on stage and in films until the late 1940s. Among her celebrated roles was Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest, which she played opposite her nephew John Gielgud in 1930. In 1934 she did a film adaptation of The Scarlet Pimpernel and then did the role on stage in 1938 at the Embassy Theatre in London. She only did four plays on Broadway. She immediately followed If Winter Comes with the Broadway premiere of Frederic Lonsdale’s Aren’t We All? at the same theatre, the Gaiety. She also did the 1925 Broadway premiere of Noel Coward’s Easy Virtue and W. Somerset Maugham’s The Constant Wife at the end of 1926.

Lydia Bilbrooke (1888-1990) as Lady Tybar, was an English actress whose stage and film career spanned four decades. Bilbrooke appeared in 23 films between 1916 and 1949; she is probably best known as Lady Epping in the popular Mexican Spitfire movie comedies (1939–43). Bilbrooke married the actor Reginald Owen in 1909; they divorced in 1923.

AUTHOR

Arthur Stuart-Menteth Hutchinson (1879-1971), commonly known by his initials A.S. M. Hutchinson, was a British novelist who collaborated with playwright Basil MacDonald Hastings on this stage adaptation of his novel. It was his fourth book, but his only stage play. His book The Happy Warrior was filmed in 1917. Three more Hutchinson novels would go before the cameras.

VENUE

Gaiety Theatre (1547 Broadway at West 46th Street; 790 seats), built in 1908, the theatre introduced revolutionary concepts of a sunken orchestra pit and also not having pillars obstructing sight lines for the balcony. It was known as a ‘house of hits’ until movies took over in 1926. A brief return to legit entertainment in 1931 and 1932 proved unsuccessful. Renamed Minsky’s, burlesque followed, until Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia put a stop to that in 1942. Vaudeville did not last long either and, by 1943, the Gaiety had been renamed the Victoria and transformed into a movie house. In 1980, the cinema was renamed the Embassy 5, as the fifth theatre owned by the Embassy chain in the Times Square area. In 1982, it was one of the five theatres torn down to accommodate the new Marriott Marquis Hotel.

ALSO ON THIS DATE...

In addition to If Winter Comes, two musical ladies bowed that night; one new and one returning to the Great White Way.

Elsie ~ a musical comedy by Eubie Blake and Alma M. Sanders; Book by Charles W. Bell; Lyrics by Noble Sissle and Monte Carlo; opened at the Vanderbilt Theatre and ran for 40 performances.

Irene - a revival of the musical comedy by Harry Tierney; Lyrics by Joe McCarthy; Book by James Montgomery; opened at Joleson’s 59th Street Theatre for a run of 16 performances.

The Ralph Pulitzer House - 17 East 73rd Street

Someone thought it would be a good idea to paint the limestone at the entrance level gray. It wasn't.

Although only steps from Fifth Avenue and Central Park, the ten brownstone residences erected by developer James E. Coburn on the north side of East 73rd Street in 1871 were not mansions. For the time being Manhattan's wealthiest citizens were content to live below 57th Street. But they hinted at things to come. At least one of them, No. 17, replaced an earlier, simpler home. On April 24, 1869 an advertisement in the New York Herald had offered "To Let--A three story high stoop house." Now, on September 6, 1875, an ad in the same newspaper touted: For Sale--That New and Well Built House, No. 17 East Seventy-third street; hard wood finish; 22x60; four stories and basement. Designed by J. W. Marshall, it and the rest of the row were aimed at more affluent owners--such as Ernst August Roesler, who would live here. Born in Germany in 1844, he and his wife, the former Clara Mueller, had a daughter Ottilie. Following Clara's death in 1883 Roesler married Augusta Koehler. The couple had another daughter, Therese Auguste Louise. But her half-sister would not see her grow up in the house. On the afternoon of April 17, 1888 the 18-year-old Ottilie was married in the parlor. It was a wedding that was covered by all the newspapers. The bridegroom was George A. Steinway, eldest son of piano maker William Steinway. The Evening World reported "Many telegrams of congratulations have been received not only from all parts of this country, but from friends of both families in Hamburg, London, [St.] Petersburg, Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, Paris and other cities of Europe." The article concluded "The presents received by the bride were very beautiful and very numerous, coming from Germany and England as well as the United States." Dinner and the reception were held at Delmonico's. Roesler died on February 10, 1900. By then merely well-to-do residents like the Roesler family were being nudged out by the fantastically wealthy. The following year millionaire publisher Joseph Pulitzer demolished Nos. 7 through 15 Eat 73rd Street as the site of his magnificent mansion designed by Stanford White. In June 1904, the year after the Pulitzer palazzo was completed, son Ralph bought the former Roesler house next door. The timing of the purchase, a year before his marriage to one of society's most eligible debutantes, Frederica Vanderbilt Webb, was most likely not coincidental. Frederica was the daughter of Dr. W. Seward Webb and Lila Osgood Vanderbilt. Her grandfather was William H. Vanderbilt. The wedding took place in Shelburne, Vermont, where her parents maintained their 3,000-acre country estate, Shelburne Farm. Its Queen Anne-style mansion contained 60 rooms and Frederick Law Olmsted had designed the park-like grounds. Webb, who had given up his medical practice to become involved with the railroads with his father-in-law, arranged a ten-car special train to transport guests from Manhattan. On October 14, 1905, the day before the ceremony, The New York Times reported "At Shelburne House, the decorators were kept at work to-night. They completed the decorations there yesterday, but the heat to-day withered them so it was necessary to do them all over again." The newspaper later reported that the wedding "was attended by 600 guests." A month later, on November 12, 1905 the New-York Tribune reported that the architectural firm of Foster, Gade & Graham had filed plans for remodeling No. 17 East 73rd Street. "The facade is to be removed and a new front of decorated limestone erected. New staircases are to be installed and the interior rearranged." The firm estimated the cost at $20,000, or about $575,000 today. The Real Estate Record & Builders' Guide reported on what might have been an embarrassing afterthought. A separate set of plans were filed, this one specifically to "install toilets." Foster, Gade & Graham worked around the old English basement plan by placing the new entrance a few steps below sidewalk level. Clad in limestone, the neo-Renaissance residence was splashed with Beaux Arts embellishments. The three story rounded bay was marked by three arched French windows, and a trio of rectangular openings separated by Corinthian pilasters, their sills dripping swags of carved roses. Similar garlands draped over blank rosettes below the elaborately carved stone cornice which supported the mansard level. The house was barely completed when Ralph and Frederica began construction of their summer home in July 1906. The Colonial-style mansion would sit on their 200-acre estate near those of William K. Vanderbilt and Payne Whitney. Back in Manhattan the newlyweds most likely never lived in the 73rd Street house. Despite the efforts and cost his son had expended to renovate the house next door, Joseph Pulitzer's wedding present to Frederica was a house on Fifth Avenue. In 1910 Ralph Pulitzer leased No. 17 to Josephine Livermore. The widow of attorney John R. Livermore, who died on May 3, 1906, she was the former Josephine Whitney Brooks. The couple had married in December 1898, The New York Times noting "The wedding was a social event. H. O. Havemeyer was the bridegroom's best man." Livermore's death was, somewhat bizarrely, brought on by the trauma of the destruction of their country home in Westchester County about a month earlier. The target of arsonists, the magnificence of the mansion and its furnishings was reflected in the silver alone--valued at around $990,000 in today's money. "The fire was a great shock to Mr. Livermore," said a newspaper following his death, "who has been ailing ever since" As the Pulitzers continued to lease the house (to Sidney C. Berg in 1913 and Mrs. Gardiner Sherman in 1915, for instance) their names continued to appear in newspapers. In 1913 Ralph surprised most of the city when he sued the powerful Tammany-backed Mayor William Jay Gaynor for defaming his father. A few months later, in January 1914, the building in which Pulitzer's $40,000 yacht, the Bullet, was store in dry dock burned, destroying it. In August 1916 architect Louise J. Farmer did significant upgrades to the 73rd Street house for Pulitzer. His plans called for "new stairs, partitions, plumbing, brick walls." The renovations cost the publisher the equivalent $105,000 today. Ralph and Frederica had two children, Ralph, Jr. and Seward. In the autumn of 1921 a tutor was hired for Seward. Cyril Jones had served as secretary to Colonel Edward M. House during the Paris Peace Conference and was in charge of communications between him and President Woodrow Wilson. Following his discharge from the Navy, he took the job of tutoring Seward. Before long, unknown to Ralph Pulitzer, a romance was developing between his wife and the tutor. In the spring of 1922 Jones resigned to join the faculty of the Milton School near Boston. Frederica promptly sailed to Paris to begin divorce proceedings. On February 15, 1924 The New York Times reported on the pending divorce, the grounds of which were "constructive desertion." Four months later the newspaper reported that Frederica Pulitzer would marry Cyril Jones at Shelburne House in August or September. Interestingly enough, Pulitzer retained possession of No. 17. In 1927 he leased it William D. Flanders who married author Margaret Leech the following year. Upon returning from their honeymoon in England and France, they took up residence at No. 450 East 52nd Street. A daughter was born in there March 1929. Finally, after decades of leasing the home, Ralph sold it to Benjamin Joseph Buttenweiser in 1934. Five years earlier the banker and philanthropist had married Helen Lehman, daughter of Arthur Lehman, senior partner in Lehman Brothers. Son Lawrence Benjamin was born on January 11, 1932. His parents were a fascinating pair. Buttenweiser, the son of wealthy real estate operator Joseph L. Buttenwieser, was admitted to Columbia College at the age of 15, focusing on 19th century English poetry. He graduated two years later. Because Columbia University refused to accept him for its doctorate program (he was too young) he entered the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb. And Helen was no insipid socialite. A civic leader, she was one of the first women admitted to the City Bar Association. Before moving in, the Buttenweisers got rid of the Edwardian interiors of Foster, Gade & Graham. They hired the Modernist architect William Lescaze to completely redesign the interiors. On December 12, 1936 The New Yorker wrote that Lescaze "in the last five or six years has taken the lead in Modernist architecture in this country" and said that the Benjamin Buttenwieser house was one of "the only three completely Modernist town houses in N.Y.C." The result was a striking dichotomy of styles. The inside was sleekly cutting edge, while the facade remained nearly unchanged. Writing in Arts & Decoration in 1937, architecture critic Mary Fanton Roberts noted "The exterior Mr. Lescaze left pretty much as it used to be. He took a few ornaments off, substituted casement windows. All of which was probably a sound idea...although the result in no way reflects the Modern expected from Mr. Lescaze." The Buttenwiesers would have two more sons. Peter L. Buttenwieser was born in 1936 and Paul Arthur on April 15, 1938. All three boys would go on to successful careers. Lawrence established a thriving legal career; Peter would eventually become best known as a philanthropist (Mother Jones Magazine placed him at No. 2 on its 1998 list of Top Ten "power elite" with "bald ambition"); and Paul became a physician, child psychiatrist and author. The family's country home was in Bedford Village, New York. Benjamin and Helen were still living on 73rd Street when Lawrence married Ann Harriet Lubin on July 14, 1956 in Purchase, New York. But within to years it was owned by the Republic of Guinea as its Permanent Mission to the United States. The Mission remained in the house until 1969 when it was converted to a three-family residence with a doctor's office on the ground floor. It was most likely at this time that the mansard was converted to a glass-walled penthouse. From 1977 to the early 1980's the office was home to Maho Bay Camps, Inc., operators of the "camping resort" on St. John in the Virgin Islands. The resort offered 70 three-room "canvas cottages" each 16 x 16 feet. The rates in 1977 were $150 per week for couples and an additional $15 for each child.

The Pulitzer house has suffered some humiliation--the coat of graphite-colored paint over the limestone first floor, window air conditioners in the transoms of the fourth floor windows and, much worse, gouged into the fifth floor stonework. (And, then, there's the matter of the mansard roof.) But overall the elegance of the 1906 remodeling of the Victorian brownstone survives. photographs by the author

#DLNchat: What Is the Role of Libraries in Digital Learning Innovation?

Will we wander through VR stacks in the library of the future? Will the library’s computer lab become a makerspace? Those were just a couple of the questions raised on Tuesday, February 27 when the #DLNchat community got together to discuss: What Is the Role of Libraries in Digital Learning Innovation? The conversation was guided by special guest Steven Bell, Associate Librarian at Temple University Libraries, where he works with colleagues on a number of digital learning initiatives. His work has shown him that “it will definitely be a more sustainable initiative if it is collaborative—-whether it's OER, open access journals, etc...if the library wants to go alone it will go fast but if it goes with others it will go much further.”

The #DLNchat community concurred there are ample opportunities for library-led collaborations in digital learning across campus. “Curation is key,” tweeted Trish Briere, “but some good education on digital rights is also very helpful.” And Digital Learning, Research & Instruction Librarian Robin Ashford shared this approach at George Fox University: “Identifying quality OER, helping faculty & students author open textbooks or purchasing library ebooks to replace costly textbooks is how I work developing our textbook affordability program.” OERs are often undervalued compared to their paid counterparts, posited Blake Gore of Vanderbilt University and Tanya Spilovy thinks librarians can help. “Librarians are trusted by faculty and students to help spot quality resources. Libraries can help with the issue of quality.”

Librarian expertise can be utilized beyond curation to support the creation of new OER, videos, courseware, games, AR and other digital content. Cali Morrison envisions libraries “partnering with other faculty on campus to curate original content or transform content they own into digitally rich resources.” If math is more your language, she broke it down this way: “Faculty + Librarians + Digital Media Experts = Engaging Content 4 learners.” But why stop with faculty and digital media experts? Trish Briere suggests: bring in the artists and storytellers.

Digital content will continue to shift with the rise of AR and VR and libraries will shift along with it. “Immersive environment exploration is a good start, say with a library guide, and workshops that create opportunities to develop AR/VR content follows, better yet,” says Cyril Oberlander, University Library Dean at Humboldt State. Imagining a future where AR and education are heavily intersected, as illustrated in the novel and upcoming movie Ready Player One, got some chatters thinking about the library as home for such endeavors. Ed Garay tweeted, “Instead of students visiting the library to check the card catalog or check out a text book, they should be able to get quick guidance to immerse themselves into a EVL CAVE-like virtual reality experience or augmented reality activity to reinforce some learning.”

An AR immersion studio is one option for physical library space in the future. As more stacks move into the cloud, there are many options. The #DLNchat community named a few: learning commons, makerspaces, research showcase experiences and space for interdisciplinary discovery among faculty. Blake Gore went so far as to ask, “Does a library need to be a centralized physical space anymore? It's interesting to think about how librarians might serve more as consultants who meet teams where they are across campus and help them solve problems in their own settings.” Ryan Ingersoll, Dean of Libraries replied that at George Fox University they are considering exactly that-how to create “librarians on demand” to meet students and faculty in dining halls, coffee shops, study lounges or wherever they may be conducting their scholarly work.

However libraries evolve, research shows they will continue to support student performance and retention. Future data may look a little different than the numbers we’re used to. Special guest Steven Bell believes “the direction academic libraries are going in is to tell stories that show impactful results for students and faculty.” Storytelling as data—-how appropriate for a library assessment.

Undrafted free agent signings 2017: Every team’s pickups in one place

Is the next Tony Romo waiting in this year’s crop of undrafted players?

The 2017 NFL Draft may be over, but that doesn’t mean teams are done adding important contributors for the upcoming season. Scores of NCAA athletes will start the next chapters of their football careers by signing as undrafted free agents this week.

The class of 2017 could also produce some memorable contributors. College standouts like Jarron Jones and Hardy Nickerson Jr. should all draw plenty of interest this spring. Though they’ll face long odds to make an NFL roster, the path they’ll walk is far from uncharted territory.

There’s a laundry list of players who have emerged from the embers of the draft to make a major impact in the NFL. All-Pros like Wes Welker, Priest Holmes, Kurt Warner, Antonio Gates, John Randle, James Harrison, Jessie Tuggle, and Tony Romo all took the long way to the league. They turned out to be unexpected boons who didn’t cost a cent in draft currency.
