"Profile by Gaslight: An Irregular Reader About the Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" edited by Edgar W. Smith (Simon and Schuster, 1944)

[a-r-labaere]

My Story You may have come here for many reasons- perhaps you are bored. Maybe doing a little research. Are you just looking for fun? Or… Maybe your motivations are darker. Perhaps you have found the truth beyond the veil- or you are naïve, and believe a friendly and loving god watches over us. It could be that you have come here to discover vast and incomprehensible realities- all the while knowing you will be driven mad. If any of these are so, allow me to be your companion through the endless void- where shadows writhe, where secrets slumber… Where destruction waits to rise once more. I am an aspiring horror author and reader, striving to have the greatness of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and Robert W. Chambers. Through my efforts, I hope to spread the genre and philosophy of cosmicism through my tales. Cosmicism is not, after all, a jovial thing. Cosmicism is a branch of nihilism, the belief in the utter meaninglessness of all hopes and endeavors. Although cosmicism became a full entity in the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, its origins can be found in earlier science fiction and supernatural horror. In addition to cosmicism and weird fiction, I plan to explore other classic horror rarities. Too often I have seen true gems of terror buried in the sands of time. Please enjoy your stay. The mysteries from beyond the stars await.

[hplovecraftmuseum]

There is some curiosity about the fact that Lovecraft mentioned characters, books, cosmic entities, or legendary places created by other authors. Is he saying by doing so that because Frank Belknap Long's, ' The Hounds of Tindalos", various books or characters invented by Robert E. Howard, the "Aklo Language' featured in the works of Arthur Machen, 'The King in Yellow' character created by Robert W. Chambers, etc, etc, are mentioned briefly in his own fiction that these fictional creations by others should now be considered legitimately linked with his own en masse. In my humble opinion the answer is, 'NO'. What HPL did by repeating these myriad subjects was only to give the impression that the ultimate over-arching inspiration for these inventions was a higher, and ultimately ulta-cosmic origin. Even in Lovecraft's time there were individuals who insisted that HPL and some of his writer pals were "channelling" the thoughts of higher supernatural powers. Lovecraft of course thought these persons were deluded and pathetic. In some cases he even expressed sympathy for their childish ignorance. So, can we really expect to gain any definite understanding of Lovecraft's developing mythology from reading the works of Clark Ashton Smith, Arthur Machen, Edgar Allan Poe, or any other horror writer Lovecraft mentioned in passing? Absolutely not! These references were window trimming only. I'd be happy to consider any opinions otherwise. (Exhibit 426)

Broadway World on The Invisibility Project: Women on the Verge

THE INVISIBILITY PROJECT: WOMEN ON THE VERGE Festival to be Presented at Polaris North

Performances run November 15-17

By: Chloe Rabinowitz Nov. 15, 2024

"The Invisibility Project: Women on the Verge" is a New York play festival produced by Rose-Marie Brandwein that will have performances on Friday, November 15, 16 and 17 at Polaris North (245 W. 29th Street) starting at 7 pm, with a Sunday Matinee at 3 pm.

This festival, which launched on November 14, is co-sponsored by Honor Roll!, a grassroots program that advocates for women+ playwrights over 40.

The Invisibility Project was conceived to provide female playwrights over the age of 40 with greater visibility and an opportunity to give voice to their creativity. Their works collectively and individually honor the female spirit of resilience, passion and determination.

https://79ab01ed62760c74c50aff1a643da15d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html Rose-Marie Brandwein says, "As female playwrights, theatre is no longer as welcoming- rendering many of us invisible with limited opportunities to see our works staged. The Invisibility Project turns that around."

The five playwrights in the festival are D-Davis ("What's What"), Hortense Gerardo ("Winds of Change), Pamela Kingsley ("Sleepwalking'), Vita Patrick Morales ("The Gift"), and Tracie E. Morrison ("Bare Chicken").

The cast includes Ange Berneau*, Carol Carter*, Ms. D, Mary Keefe*, Kassie Kole, Lucy McMichael*, Vivian Meisner*, John L. Payne*, Alexis Schreiber, William Shuman*, Barbie Seigle, and Diane Tyler* (*Members, AEA).

Plays are directed by Eric Diamond, Edgar Chisholm, John L.Payne and D.B. Smith.

https://79ab01ed62760c74c50aff1a643da15d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html Producer Rose-Marie Brandwein received her M.F.A. in professional writing from the University of Southern California where she studied playwriting and screenwriting. She studied playwriting with Larry Carr,Jack Gelber, David Scott Milton and Walter Hadler at Roundabout Conservatory Theatre's Playwriting Unit and with directors Andrew Leynse and Tyler Marchant of Primary Stages. This is her third festival at Polaris North. Her full length play "Expiration Date" was first performed as a staged reading at Stage Left Studio's Women at Work Festival before going onto productions at the East of Edinburgh Festival at 59E59 Theaters and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She's a member of the Dramatists Guild.

HONOR ROLL! is a grass-roots group whose members self-initiate actions to increase our inclusion in theater. Honor Roll! is an advocacy and action group of women+ playwrights over 40 as well as our women+ over 40 allies. The term "women+" refers to a spectrum of gender identification. Honor Roll members are the generation excluded at the outset of their careers because of sexism, now overlooked because of ageism. The organization celebrates diversity in theater and works to eliminate age discrimination as it intersects with sexism and other biases including those based on race, gender identity, ethnicity, faith, socioeconomic status, disability, and sexual orientation in the American Theater and beyond.

Reliquary Continued

Recent Acquisition As the foremost Italian cabinetmaker of the 18th century, Pietro Piffeti was in the service of the royal House of Savory for over 40 years. Piffetti’s works are remarkable for their technical skill; the intricate marquetry decoration on this prie-dieu is all the more impressive when one considers the difficulty of veneering curved surfaces. Thes prie-dieu-a kneeling bench used at home for personal devotion - was most likely made for the youngest son of Carl Emmanuel III, King of Sardinia, for use in the Palace of Venaria, the family’s hunting lodge outside Turin. A door in the center of the prie-dieu conceals a small cabinet for a rosary and prayer books, and the drawer at the base would have held a padded kneeler. The interiors of the cabinet retains its original pink paint; popular in the mid-18th century, the color pink did not yet have the feminine associations it does today.

School Days: Joan Guice (1945-2014)

Joan Elizabeth Guice, the daughter of Edgar Nelson (1927-2001) and Valencia Guice (1927-2002) was born in Birmingham, Alabama on 9 September 1945. She was educated in the Birmingham Public School system. The primary and secondary schools Joan attended are a remarkable part of Alabama history.

Tuggle Elementary School

The Tuggle Institute and School was a privately-run charity established in 1903 by social worker Carrie A. Tuggle. It was initially an orphan home for African-American boys. Mrs. Tuggle operated the institute from 1903 until her death in 1924. At that time the school was absorbed into the Birmingham Public School system. In 1934 the name of the school was changed to Enon Ridge School. The Birmingham City Board of Education purchased the school building and property in 1936 and changed the name to Carrie A. Tuggle Elementary School.[1]

A modern school with a 14-classroom building was built on the property in 1952. In 1954 the City Board of Education placed a bronze plaque in the memory of Carrie A. Tuggle as the cornerstone to the new school.[2]

This is the school building that Joan Guice attended for her primary education.

Parker High School

Parker High School in Birmingham, Alabama was established in 1900 as the Negro High School. The principal and only teacher was Arthur Harold Parker. The school initially had 15 students in its graduating class of 1904. When Mr. Parker retired in 1939 the school, now known as Industrial High School, had an enrollment of over 2,700. After Mr. Parker's retirement, the school was renamed A. H. Parker High School in his honor.[5]

Joan followed in the footsteps of her mother who graduated from Parker High School in the mid-1940s.

The summer of 1962, Joan was a rising senior at Parker High School. She attended summer school taking history and biology classes.

In May 1963 Joan was a high school senior at Parker High School. It was a tumultuous time. On 2 May 1963 the “Children’s Crusade” of the Birmingham Civil Rights campaign took place. African-American school children were encouraged by adult activists to skip school and participate in a nonviolent demonstration. According to the principal of Parker High School, 25%-40% of the 2,200 student body did not report for classes on that day.[6] It is unknown if Joan was among her classmates who joined the demonstration.

A subsequent Civil Rights demonstration in downtown Birmingham, Alabama on 3 May 1963 made national news. When the child marchers did not disperse, firemen blasted them with water from high pressure fire hoses. Police K-9 officers were deployed and several protesters were bitten. Hundreds of school children were arrested, booked and jailed.[7]

Joan Guice graduated from A. H. Parker High School in May 1963.
