Paris Music Hall collection
|
Requires cookie* |
| |
Creator: |
Weldy, Max |
|
| |
Dates: |
circa 1920-1939 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The Paris Music Hall Collection comprises over 6,000 original renderings of costume designs and 1,000 original renderings
of curtain designs for the music halls of Paris from 1920 to 1938. The collection, acquired in 1968 by the Library, was originally
the property of Max Weldy who provided the elaborate costumes and curtains to the Folies Bergere, Moulin Rouge and other popular
cabarets and music halls. Weldy maintained a stable of young, extraordinarily imaginative designers who flocked to Paris from
all over Europe to establish a name for themselves. Among the first of Weldy's artists was Romain de Tirtoff, a fledgling
designer from Russia, who would later be internationally renowned as Erté.
After the owners and artistic directors of the music halls determined the annual theme for the shows, various tableaux were
created to fill an evening's entertainment. Most of these were simply spectacles serving as vehicles for the star artists
such as Mistinguett, Maurice Chevalier, Josephine Baker, and the Dolly Sisters. The tableaux varied widely to include comic,
dramatic and historic subjects, but musical entertainment was always the focal point. The costumes reflected the themes such
as "the French Revolution", "Jewels", "The Garden of Metal", "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Flowers", as well as various animals,
food, and sports. Most of the sketches are in color, done on tracing paper or watercolor paper. A few have fabric swatches
attached. The collection includes designers such as Erté, Serge Kojan, Alex Shanks, Freddy Wittop, José Zamora, and Zig.

Dates: |

|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of correspondence and diaries of the Akehurst and Lines families from 1850-1914. The bulk of the
correspondence contains letters between Jennie Akehurst, a teacher at Covington, Georgia and Sylvanus Lines of Fayetteville
Georgia during their courtship (1857-1860) and married life (1861-1874). Topics discussed include family matters, life in
Georgia, and news of relatives. Another portion of the correspondence consists of letters to and from Daisy Lines while teaching
in Irvington, Georgia (1882-1898). Includes drafts of letters to and letters from Jerome Reneau, writing from Greene County,
Alabama and Texas; correspondence to Jennie Lines; and correspondence from Daisy's aunt Anna Marie Akehurst Barham. Topics
discussed include Reneau and Daisy's friendship, Reneau's farming in Alabama, social events, Daisy's teaching, and family
news.
The diaries were written by Jennie Akehurst Lines (1859-1861 and 1861-1871) and Anna Maria Akehurst Barham (1861-1871). Jennie's
diary entries prior to 1861 mainly concern financial hardships and personal matters. Beginning in 1860, entries discuss the
political climate, the 1860 election, abolitionists, and slavery. For 1861-1866, the diary contains information on Georgia's
succession from the union, social life and living conditions during the Civil War, problems with slaves, and freedmen. Entries
for 1866-1871 again mainly focus on personal matters. The Barham diary contains entries pertaining to the Female Orphans'
Asylum (Macon, Ga.), where she was matron, the South's reaction to the Battle of Bull Run, economic and living conditions
in Georgia during the Civil War, problems with Confederate currency, cotton planting both during and after the war, and problems
hiring and supervising freedmen.
