Crafting the Ballets Russes

The Robert Owen Lehman Collection

Crafting the Ballets Russes: The Robert Owen Lehman Collection

June 28 through September 22, 2024

Robert Owen Lehman’s extraordinary collection of music manuscripts has been an inspiration to scholars and visitors since it was placed on deposit at the Morgan Library & Museum. Among its many splendid works are deep holdings of early-twentieth-century ballet, including Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird (1910), Petrouchka (1911), and Les Noces (1923); Claude Debussy’s L’apr��s-midi d’un Faune (1912); and Maurice Ravel’s Bolero (1928) and La Valse (1920).

The exhibition opens with the dramatic arrival of Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes troupe in Paris in 1909 and goes on to trace its impact across the arts, highlighting the rise of women in leading creative roles. They include Bronislava Nijinska, who in 1921 became the Ballets Russes’ only female choreographer and whose groundbreaking choreography defined Les Noces, Bolero, and other ballets of the era; and Ida Rubinstein, whose riveting stage presence helped establish the Ballets Russes in its first seasons and who came to rival Diaghilev as a patron of music, commissioning Bolero in 1928.

At the core of the exhibition is the creative process that brought these ballets to life. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue address the sketches, drafts, and working copies of the composers, choreographers, and designers, capturing the ways in which they imagined, conceived, and collaborated to kindle works of astonishing originality and ongoing influence.

The exhibition is organized by Robinson McClellan, Assistant Curator of Music Manuscripts and Printed Music.

Crafting the Ballets Russes: The Robert Owen Lehman Collection is supported by the William Randolph Hearst Fund for Scholarly Research and Exhibitions, the Robert Lehman Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Clement C. Moore II, the Lucy Ricciardi Family Exhibition Fund, Elizabeth and Jean-Marie Eveillard, Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon Polsky, and the Franklin Jasper Walls Lecture Fund. Assistance is provided by the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation and Hubert and Mireille Goldschmidt.

𝐓he 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓 is a rather peculiar occult invention of the late 19th century.

Prior to the invention of this tool, mediums had to use nonverbal means of spirit communication, be it spirit boards or other similar objects. However, the spirit trumpet suggested, for the first time, that a spirit can physically reach the listener through audial means as well.

As Victorian Women and the Theatre of Trance: Mediums, Spiritualists and Mesmerists in Performance (2009) by Amy Lehman states, it was a part of the greater "manifestation" category of mystical experiences. During manifestation, the spirits made objects levitate or appear, such as flower petals or letters, as well as played instruments - guitars, tambourines, or trumpets.

A spirit trumpet is shaped like a usual trumpet from two and a half to three feet in length, traditionally made of brass, tin, or aluminum; fibre and papier mache are acceptable materials as well. Four to five inches in diameter at the larger end, they narrow down to just about three-quarters of an inch at the other end. Every medium seemingly had their own design and variations of shape for their spirit trumpet.

The first spirit trumpets were homemade, usually shaped out of cardboard or metal. While it is unclear who came up with the idea of a spirit trumpet, sometimes Jonathan Koons (1811-1893) and his son Nahum Koons (1837-1921), influential spiritualists of the 19th century, are credited with it. The first commercial manufacturer of this tool was Everett Atwood Eckel (1831-1914) who opened his shop in Indiana.

In practical use, it was often recommended that a trumpet be wet on the inside prior to the seance as the moisture supposedly helped spirits speak easier. Some sceptics suggested that the practice had a more down-to-earth reasoning behind it as it helped hide the moisture from the medium speaking into the trumpet: such an opinion was voiced in The Life and Mysteries of the Celebrated Dr. Q (1921) by Alexander the Crystal Seer, an all-revealing manual on spiritual performances.

In the aforementioned book, Mr. Alexander, who himself was a stage magician, is rather critical of this method of spirit communication. He speaks, for one, on how suspicious the seances involving the spirit trumpet seem to be: set in dark or semi-dark rooms with light conveniently placed so that the podium for the trumpet is cast in darkness.

From the same author we learn of the general setting of the seance and its approximate contents. Such as, a prayer being said, the medium inviting over the spirit and putting the trumpet on their knees, after which everyone present holds hands with those sitting on their left and right. Once the spirit arrives, the trumpet is expected to lift in the air, slowly turning around, and either emit glowing light, ooze ectoplasm, or simply echo voices. From his skeptical viewpoint, Mr. Alexander suggests an element of deception being involved: either the medium using a hose to talk, feigning different voices, or using a special system of strings in the complete darkness to make the trumpet move.

However, Mr. Alexander wasn't the pioneer of criticism of the method. One of the first research pieces that regarded the problem of trumpet seances was Experiments in psychical science, levitation, contact, and the direct voice (1919) by a psychic researcher William Jackson Crowford. He was the one to point out that sometimes mediums used glow-in-the-dark rings on the ends of the trumpets and set them in complete darkness with the visitors singing hymns or praying before the start of the seance. During one of the seances he witnessed, Mr. Crowford claims, the trumpets flew in the air and requested a lamp to be turned away from the medium while those present "sing something". Some mediums used bells or boards to announce the spirit's presence.

Out of other critical articles about the method, Mysteries of the Seance and Tricks and Traps of Bogus Mediums: A Plea for Honest Mediums and Clean Work (1903) by an unknown herbalist can be noted. In this work, the author, following Mr. Alexander, states that the spirit trumpet seance is overall a fraud. He marks that by usage of little to no light and layered clothing, a medium could either conceal a hose or hide a second trumpet. Overall, he recommends that the stories of those who went through the trumpet seance should be taken with a grain of salt.

There were, indeed, such stories. In The Physical Theory of the Soul (1915) by Harry La Verne Twining, one can read about such an experience. Within this book, the eyewitness of a seance presents their point of view. The trumpet is said to have lifted into the air and bumped them on their head, announcing a name that was familiar to them, as well as their name.

After a short interaction, the trumpet fell down and lifted yet again, giving out another name, this time a relative of both the first presumed spirit and the person listening. What the eyewitness here notes to be a unique occassion is the voice mentioning something that only the eyewitness knew: an event from around twenty-seven years ago. To futher dissipate the suspicion, the person notes that both of the mediums must have been but toddlers at the time of the event, and it's "impossible" they knew about it.

Other observations by the witnesses and visitors of such seances are plenty as well. One of them is told in the book A Record of Psychic Experience (1922) by George F. Goerner. The trumpet seance described in the text suggests multiple spirits, all somehow connected to the listener, speaking to him through either his or the medium's trumpet. He hears, for example, many of his deceased relatives and his friend. Out of the curious details regarding this experience is that the medium suggests one is to keep friendly, positive attitude during the seance as this "clears the way" for the dead. Another detail described in the account is that the medium is accompanied by a person under the role of a spirit control assistant.

Overall, there's a lot of interesting and various information about the spirit trumpet. Some seemed highly cautious about it, sometimes for a good reason, and for some it was a rather relieving way of soothing the loneliness after their beloved ones had passed. Regardless, it is a tool worth discussing.

KATHY ACKER, Toronto 1988

Kathy Acker was having a good year in 1988, when I photographed her at the International Festival of Authors (now the Toronto International Festival of Authors). If I'm frank, I don't know whether to be more impressed that the city has an author's festival, or that it's still running. Back in 1988 it was a very big deal, with a packed roster of authors from around the world in addition to Canadian ones, but publishing and even just reading were still a much bigger deal back then, and the IFOA (now the TIFA) was the follow-up punch to the film festival here, attracting literary star power to the city as summer turned to fall.

Kathy Acker published her first novel in 1973 under the pseudonym Black Tarantula, but she hit it big near the end of the decade as a punk writer, influenced by people like William S. Burroughs and drawing everything from Dickens and Bataille to pornography together in what was described as a post-modern style. She published what was probably her most famous novel, Blood and Guts in High School, in 1984 on Grove Press in the U.S., an imprint famous for its influential avant-garde writers.

Kathy Acker (born Karen Lehman) was incredibly prolific, publishing countless novels in addition to poetry, essays, movie and art reviews in addition to releasing records and doing interviews like her one with the Spice Girls for the Guardian. In 1988 alone she published three books, including the novel Empire of the Senseless and two collections - Young Lust and Literal Madness. This was a long way from when she worked as an office worker and a stripper, and even further from her childhood in New York's Upper East Side, though her past was very much up front in her adamantly controversial reputation. She presented a glamourous and defiant face publicly and to my camera when I sat her down in the lobby of a hotel by the waterfront for our brief sitting.

I don't remember having a client when I shot Kathy Acker and others at the 1988 author's festival; it's hard to believe now, but I think I just talked my way into getting the festival's publicists to send writers down to the hotel lobby for me to photograph, in a wood-paneled space under a big skylight, just off the main part of the lobby that provided a little bit of privacy. I can't imagine that happening today; later that same day a friend - a poet who'd come to Canada just a couple of years earlier from Serbia (then still Yugoslavia) - knocked on Acker's hotel room door and introduced himself. He said she was delighted to meet him and they carried on a conversation about publishing and writers' festivals while she changed outfits. Recalling all of this now feels like a very different time.

Kathy Acker was diagnosed with cancer less than a decade after this shoot, and after a double mastectomy opted for alternative therapies. She died in November of 1997 in a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, just 50 years old. Her work still abides posthumously, with biographies and studies published since her death and a literary prize, the Acker Award, founded in 2013 to celebrate avant-garde artists in NYC and San Francisco (and for three years from 2017-2019 here in Toronto). Still, I can't help but wonder if someone like Kathy Acker would have had the same kind of career if she'd started writing and publishing today.

---

There is that part of us that believes we will never die--otherwise, how could we watch so much television,

and there is the part that believes when we die, all life will come to an end. This is the part that storms within us dragging its robes across the marble floor.

But what I like to believe is that the minute I die, the world will change into a map of the world

which I will roll up into a tube and carry with me wherever I am going.

It could be an antique map with pictures of sea serpents in the corners or a huge Mercator projection, but when I finally get where I am going (and I have a feeling it will take days),

I will spread out the map on something flat, and there I will study the patterns of shorelines and boundaries, maybe reminisce about a country I once visited or a strait where a naval battle once took place.

I also like to believe that there will be other beings there who will gather around this picture of earth so I can explain to them what it was like--

how the cold mountains rose above the valleys, how this was called geography, how the people from this pale blue area crossed into the light green area to the south and killed whoever they found there and how this was known as history,

and as they listen, mild-eyed and silent, others will arrive to join the circle like ripples moving toward the center instead of away.

Irene Dunne and John Boles in Back Street (John M. Stahl, 1932)

Cast: Irene Dunne, John Boles, George Meeker, Zasu Pitts, June Clyde, William Bakewell, Arletta Duncan, Doris Lloyd, Paul Weigel, Jane Darwell, Shirley Grey, James Donlan, Walter Catlett, James McWade. Screenplay: Gladys Lehman, Lynn Starling, based on a novel by Fannie Hurst. Cinematography: Karl Freund. Art direction: Charles D. Hall. Film editing: Milton Carruth. 

The 1932 version of Back Street (the first of three films Hollywood made from Fannie Hurst's novel) suggests that there are some things you couldn't say even in a pre-Code movie. Ray Schmidt (Irene Dunne) and Walter Saxel (John Boles) have fallen in love, but he's engaged to a woman of whom his mother approves. He thinks that if his mother meets Ray, she might be inclined to let him break off the engagement and marry her instead. But on the day of the scheduled meeting, Ray's sister, Freda (June Clyde), comes to her in distress: The man she's been seeing is leaving town and she desperately needs Ray's help in persuading him to stay. If he doesn't, she tells Ray, she'll kill herself -- and she opens a window to prove the point. Why is Freda so desperate? The answer becomes apparent with an exchange of Meaningful Glances: She's pregnant. The word or any of its variants is never spoken. So Ray misses the meeting with Mother and loses the chance to marry Walter. Years pass and Ray and Walter meet again, after he's married and become a wealthy businessman. He sets her up in an apartment as his mistress, which she tolerates for a time until she realizes what she's lacking in life and begs him, "Walter, give me a child." Walter is shocked at the very idea. The mechanics of an illicit sexual relationship, including the veiled subject of contraception, are summed up in the reticence around Freda's plight and Ray's plea to Walter, which sounds a bit like she wants him to go down to the baby store and pick one off the shelf. Euphemisms aside, your acceptance of the movie depends to some degree on whether you enjoy watching Dunne, an actress who can slip into coyness and archness. The film gives her a gamut to run, from the flirtatious Ray who likes to drink beer with the fellows in the early part of the film, to the nobly suffering kept woman of the later part. Boles is a little stiff in his role, though that rather suits the character. On the whole, Back Street is a solid "woman's picture" of the kind that would be treated with more life and color by filmmakers like Douglas Sirk in the 1950s.

Audrey Hepburn Summer!

Tonight’s watch: Sabrina (1954) (Note: all photos taken from IMDB.)

Who will the daughter of a chauffeur fall for?

The younger brother she had a crush on since she was a child?

Or the older brother whose suddenly taking her out on the town while the younger one recovers from a slight accident?

I'm sure we can all guess at the ending!

I think Hepburn’s aura or vibe or whatever you want to call it is the thing that makes this movie watchable. There is some great physical comedy with William Holden’s character and beautiful dresses from Givenchy. But as my mom pointed out, the age difference between Hepburn and Bogart is too distracting (ages 24 and 53 respectively). (My mom thinks that Bogart had the sense to be a little embarrassed by the age gap.) Some actors can look younger than their ages, but Bogart’s career was largely built on his weathered face. So the romance doesn’t totally work, though I think their old-soul conversations do.

Some trivia (via IMDB)!:

Sabrina is the film that launched the famous collaboration between Hepburn and Givenchy.  One of the costumes started the trend in dress necklines known as the "Sabrina neckline."

Just as there were complicated relationships between the three main characters, there were complicated relationships between the three leads! Bogart and Holden couldn’t stand each other, and Bogart disliked Hepburn, complaining of her acting skills and multiple takes. Meanwhile, Hepburn and Holden fell in love, but Hepburn broke it off when she learned he couldn’t have children.

And production was a bit of a mess. The script wasn’t finished when they started filming. Director Billy Wilder once asked Audrey Hepburn to feign illness so he would have time to finish writing the next scene. Another scene was written during a lunch break and shot that afternoon in seventy-two takes. One of the writers, Ernest Lehman, suffered a nervous breakdown over the stress and pressure of writing as filming was going.

All in all, an entertaining watch, though certainly not one of her greatest films. I borrowed a DVD from the library, but you can also watch it on Paramount+, Pluto TV, or rent from Amazon.
