Conversations

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

Mrs. Rob't Goldman (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Janet Lindenmuth said:

  Edith Ostend Jacobson Goldman was a chorus girl who married Robert J. Goldman, the college aged son of Henry Goldman (of Goldman Sachs). Henry disapproved and sent his son out west to work on a ranch, then hired detectives who caught Edith with other men. Divorce soon followed. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60D16FA395C1373...

• Art Siegel said:

  Good catch! Colorful story too, involving detectives coming thru the fire escape, scantily clad actresses, etc, etc. The divorce trial began March 1, 1915 in Manhattan.

• Jon (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks, j3net. We'll add her full name to the our record.

  "Claquers" were hired to attend operas and applaud certain singers: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FA0917FF355517...

• Greg said:

  More "claqueurs" !!

• Wystan said:

  Behind these seven dapper gentlemen is a show window of the American Art Co, NYC.

  That's a very modern-looking mailbox.

  Another Bain/LOC photo connected with the Salvation Army's 1913 Christmas Dinner campaign in New York City:

• aware health said:

  The people in this photo seem rather well-to-do, to be getting a dinner from the Salvation Army. Maybe they're delivering?

• Wystan said:

  I think you may be right. I also wonder about that grim fortress in the background. Could it be a prison? Or perhaps an armory? (I don't know NYC.)

• aware health said:

  I think that's the old 244th Coast Artillery Armory, which according to nysonglines.com was "oppressive" and located at 125 14th St. , next door to what was then the 14th St. Theater (on the right in the photo) -- it used to be the Lyceum Theater. Both buildings were demolished, and the McBurney YMCA is now on the old Armory site. The Salvation Army headquarters is and was just down the street. (The internet is like magic sometimes.)

  Thanks, rjones. You're a fast operator!
