Down and Out Club: Notable Figures Turn to Vaudeville

The piece traces how actors, athletes, explorers, and even criminals become vaudeville attractions after their peak eras. Lucille Mulhall and Doctors Cook, Sullivan, and Corbett illustrate fame fading into stage careers, while scandal and publicity boost draws for stars like Nesbit Thaw and Deslys.

Norway and Luther in a World of Old Texts

The piece surveys Norway as an ancient European kingdom, its Viking era reach from Iceland to Dublin, and Leif Eriksson’s Vinland voyage, noting maritime prowess and cultural spread. It then shifts to Martin Luther’s first Bible exposure in the Erfurt library, his awakening, and the transformative impact of Gutenberg printing on religious texts.
