Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Chicago's Great Telescope

from The Field Museum Library

• Neil Robert Getic said:

  This was the biggest Refracting telescope (i.e. using lenses, not mirrors) when it was built, I think it still is, but reflecting telescopes and other devices made refractors somewhat cumbersome devices to use and maintain. It is still housed at the University of Chicago but largely redundant now. I think it was constructed by Alvin Clark & Sons.

Sinbad the Sailor aka Tinbad the Tailor

  The adverts & reviews for this production (in Freeman's Journal) spell it "Sindbad". The part of Sindbad Tinbad was played by Mr. Willie Crackles.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  John Spooner Willie Crackles and Greenleaf Withers! You couldn't make this stuff up...

• John Spooner said:

  In the Freeman's review on 27 December, the sets and the costumes come in for particular praise. In addition

  Mr J W Volt, as Mrs Sindbad, was mainly instrumental in making the fun of the piece go fast and furious, and Mr. Crackles, whose particular name will enter into the minds and memories of the youth of the city, made the part of Tinbad quite remarkable.

  Also

  The dances are good, and Miss Jessie Noire's Serpentine dance was a feature of the time.

  That last bit has made me feel all peculiar.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  John Spooner Have a sit down and a cuppa, John, and you'll be right as rain! The chorus dancers must have been raging about "the dances are good" - talk about damning with faint praise.
