Tony Pastor, a prominent vaudeville star born in 1835 in Greenwich Village, entertained generations with touring shows and a Fourteenth Street theater. He sparked the Illustrated song idea, resisted coarse material, and helped shape early New York City entertainment before aging out of the stage.
Lew Fields joined Tony Pastor in a professional shift from child performers to stage partners forming Weber and Fields. The four member team began under Pastor’s management at about eleven years old and rose through times of prosperity, with Pastor known for charity and a clean, dignified style that influenced younger vaudeville acts. George H. Picard reports on Pastor’s generosity, his integrity, and the help he received from early vaudeville leaders to keep his Fourteenth street house open.
A 19 part epic by Julie Ditto Young imagines Theodore Roosevelt as a future reformer and hero in a voyage from politics to adventurous pursuit. The manuscript, lost then found in Caledonia, depicts social protest and the ideal of aiding the less fortunate, while Roosevelts prototypes are explored through poetic prophecy.
The article surveys a array of 19th century science notes and curiosities. It cites 103 year old experiments, wireless telegraphy between Oxford and Cambridge, a Corunna lighthouse, and a 1434 physician. It notes Lord Roberts joining Esperanto, London flower trade value, sunflower as quinine substitute, gender body measurements, thermometer color effects, a perpetual temperature flask, and ships under British flag. It closes with medical cautions and French flour substitutes.
