741: Steve Aldrich - A Long Strange Trip

This episode is dedicated to those who remember the past and for those who want to learn more about our rich history. This week we travel back in time in our Grateful Dead VW bus and visit with magician and co-founder of the Foan Family Circus, Steve Aldrich. It was a simpler time when magicians were experimenting with new presentations and popular music of the time. It was at the height of Doug Henning’s popularity who was considered by some as a “Hippie Magician”.

Steve Aldrich also performed magic at the famed Tower Bar in Snowmass at a time when Doc Eason was still a waiter Steve and his band of merry men (and a woman) surprised and entertained magicians with their “tongue in cheek” original presentations of their “Foan Family Circus” at many magic conventions during the late 1970’s to early 1980’s. So what happened to the group? That and more will be the topic of discussion in this week’s episode.

Steve talks this week about the formation of the Foan Family Circus, their original presentations and music, their performances at magic conventions (one of which won them the Senator Crandall Comedy Award at Abbott’s Get Together), plus the origins of magic at the Tower Bar starting with Bob Sheets then passed down to Steve Aldrich and Steve Spill.

"Me too" in January 1813

Except that this time, it was after Murat had left the remnants of the Grande Armée on 16 January that apparently everybody lined up in front of Eugène's headquarters and demanded "Going home? Me too, please, and asap."

And to be fair, with this they merely preempted Napoleon's orders. Since at least 9 January Napoleon had written to Berthier (directly and through Clarke) repeatedly to send to France everybody who was sick or wounded and also all superfluous marshals, generals and staff officers still with the army, while keeping only those who were truly necessary for the small amount of soldiers still under arms.

Except that Berthier had fallen gravely ill at the time, and with all the disorder during the hasty retreat that preceded Murat's departure, it's quite possible that Napoleon's orders were never received, or at least not read.

It was only after some calm had returned, that the new (very reluctant) commander of the (very reduced) Grande Armée managed to file through all those probably unopened letters of the last weeks. On 23 January, Eugène wrote to Napoleon:

In accordance with Your Majesty's orders, I have instructed a large number of wounded, sick or tired generals to make themselves and their staffs available to the Minister of War. I gave the same authorisation to Marshals Ney, Macdonald and Mortier. I have kept in the army only the Marshals Prince d'Eckmühl [Davout], Duke of Bellune [Victor], Duke of Istrie [Bessières - of course he would stay to look after the kid] and Saint-Cyr. The Prince Major-General [Berthier] is a little better today, but his condition still gives rise to the same fears.

This apparently led to a flurry of activity and was reflected in various newspaper reports:

Le Moniteur Westphalien, 27 January 1813

Berlin, 23 January: His Excellency the Imperial Marshal Duke of Taranto and His Excellency the Imperial Marshal Duke of Elchingen as well as about 2o Imperial French generals of various ranks, and among them adjutants of His Majesty the King of Naples and the Prince of Neuchatel, arrived here yesterday and the day before yesterday from the army and in some cases passed through here for their further destination.

Berlinische Nachrichten von Staats- und gelehrten Sachen, 28 January 1813:

His Excellency the Imperial French Imperial Marshal Duke of Treviſo (Mortier) arrived here the day before yesterday; His Excellency the Imperial French Imperial Marshal Duke of Elchingen (Ney) left here for Paris. A large number of Imperial French generals and senior staff officers are constantly returning from the army through here to Paris.

Bayreuther Zeitung, 28 January 1813:

Berlin, 21 January. Arrived here from the Oder on the 19th and 20th: Their Excellencies the Imperial Marshals, Dukes of Elchingen (Ney) and of Tarentum (Macdonald); the Imperial French Division and Brigade Generals Pujol, Defrance, Monnet, Bouvier, Chonard, Benard, Poultier, Dunier, Faure, Corbineau, Roussel, Grouchy, together with several colonels and officers of all grades.

Augsburgische Ordinari-Postzeitung, 3 February 1813:

Leipzig, 30 January. On the 28th of this month, Their Excellencies the Imperial French Imperial Marshals, the Dukes of Treviso (Mortier), of Elchingen (Ney), and of Abrantes (Junot), arrived here from the army and immediately continued their journey to France.

And so on, and so on. The funny part: At the same time - in order to hide what was going on, probably - somebody launched reports in the newspaper about a 40,000-strong army under Ney assembling in Posen. People reading those papers must have been quite confused.

Welcome to the 10th installment of 15 Weeks of Phantom, where I post all 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as they were first printed in Le Gaulois newspaper 115 yeas ago.

In today’s installment, we have Part III of Chapter 4: "La Loge N° 5” (“Box 5”), and Part I of Chapter 5: "Suite de « La Loge N° 5 »" ("Box 5 Continued").

This section was first printed on Wednesday, 6 October, 1909.

For anyone following along in David Coward's translation of the First Edition of Phantom of the Opera (either in paperback, or Kindle, or from another vendor -- the ISBN-13 is: 978-0199694570), the text starts in Chapter 4 at, “That night, tickets were sold for Box 5” and goes to Mme Giry’s line in Chapter 5, “What happened was that someone went and upset the Phantom!”

There are some differences between the Gaulois text and the First Edition text. In this section, these include:

1) In the Gaulois text, the section starts out with an amusing little interchange between Moncharmin and Richard (highlighted in red in the first column):

"Yes, this is getting old," agreed Armand Moncharmin, as he carefully slipped the Phantom's note into his pocketbook.

"You're keeping that?" asked Richard.

"Out of curiosity," said Moncharmin.

2) In the Gaulois text, Leroux actually named the people who rented out Box 5 on the evening in question, and were summarily escorted out after raucous laughter was heard emanating from the box. This section is highlighted in red in the second column.

In Coward's translation, this text appears between "They immediately started carrying on again and this time I had them ejected for good" and "Send for the security man."

Leroux's text switches between the description from the Inspector, which I have italicized, and Richard’s and Moncharmin's comments, which are “in quotes”:

Before leaving the theatre, they gave their names. Among them, there was a journalist.

"Oh dear! Now we're in for trouble!" cried Richard.

Who stated that he will write an article.

"Egad!" cried Moncharmin.

This journalist is named Maxime Defrance.

"Don't know him," Richard and Moncharmin proclaimed in unison, reassured.

The other four were: M. and Mme Darklay and their daughter, from Rue de la Paix.

"The Darklays, but the Darklays are incapable of conducting themselves in such a manner!" said Moncharmin. "I know the Darklays, they are very respectable people; what does this mean?"

And M. Malpertuis.

"Malpertuis," cried the two Managers. "Let's hope that's not the Malpertuis from the Fine Arts! No... No... He would have requested a seat or a box. Malpertuis would never pay for his seat anywhere... But if he was invited by the Darklays? Good heavens!"

M. Malpertuis stated as he left that he would complain to the Managers.

3) Compare the Gaulois text, highlighted in red above: "ils en étaient ressortis et avaient appelé l'ouvreuse qui leur a demandé ce qu'ils voulaient" to the First Edition: "ils en étaient ressortis et avaient appelé l'ouvreuse qui leur a demandé ce qu'ils avaient".

Translation from the Gaulois:

They had gone out again and had called the box keeper, who asked them what they wanted.

Translation from the First Edition:

They had gone out again and had called the box keeper, who asked them what they needed.

4) Compare the Gaulois text, highlighted above: "L'ouvreuse me l'a assez répété, ce qui prouve bien que tout cela n'est qu'une plaisanterie" to the First Edition: "et c'est ce qui prouve bien que tout cela n'est qu'une plaisanterie".

Translation from the Gaulois:

“The box keeper told me several times, which proves that this was all just a practical joke.”

Translation from the First Edition: 

“And this proves that this was all just a practical joke.”

5) Compare the Gaulois text: "Qu'on aille me chercher l'ouvreuse ! hurla-t-il... Tout de suite ! Tout de suite !" to the First Edition: "Qu'on aille me chercher l'ouvreuse ! commanda-t-il... Tout de suite !" 

Translation from the Gaulois:

"Someone go get me the box keeper!" he roared... "Now! Now!"

Translation from the First Edition:

"Someone go get me the box keeper," he ordered... "Now!"

Im seeing Camelot tonight and I’ll fully admit my interest in this is 97% seeing Aaron Sorkin’s rewrite of the book. He’s such a talented writer despite never giving Josh and Donna the resolution they deserved and leaving it up to whoever took over the west wing when he left.

I think Camelot itself is unintelligible for me because I never cared for Arthurian material. Maybe Marie DeFrance in my English lit classes.
