MOLEMAN'S EPIC RAP BATTLES!!!!!!!!!

 

INSANE CLOWN POSSE…

 

…VS…

 

…STEPHEN KING'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

BEGIN!

 

• It: •

My time has come to wake again from thirty years of slumber;

You'd do Penny-wise to make like Stan so you don't have to suffer,

When this small-town boogeyman destroys these Inner City Posers,

Serving up a terror-Tempest that'll trump your tepid 'coaster!

You're too old to stand a chance; I'm everything you've ever feared:

This world-consuming child-eater hungers like a Langolier!

A fiend beyond your foulest nightmares, for I'm not of this dimension;

Just like Giygas, my true form exceeds your feeble comprehension!

Lesser evils shrink before me; ask my old pal, Henry Bowers.

Watch me crash your crappy Carnival and make the spirits cower:

Drop your Great Milenko faster than a Disney record label;

Cutting jugulars of Juggalos, I make it extra-painful!

All your fans must be as blinded as the adults in these suburbs,

'Cause your whole discography belongs discarded in my gutter!

This is IT; the end for both of you! I'll drag your asses down,

And leave your bloated bodies floating where the water's thick and brown!

 

• Insane Clown Posse: •

Shaggy 2 Dope: Yo, we're a Psychopathic rapping pair of wicked-wild wrestlers…

Violent J: …Out on a hunt To Catch A sewer-dwelling child Predator!

We lay a sucka bugaboo to Boogie Woogie Waste…

S2D: …With Faygo shower spray like battery acid up In Yo' Face!

Got a deck of Joker's Cards, ripe for release from up our sleeves…

VJ: …And their Unveiling's Thy undoing; ain't no drain will grant reprieve!

S2D: Our Mighty Death Pop is set for bursting more than your balloons.

Both: We'll blast your wack ass back to Hell's Pit with a Bang, Pow, Boom!

S2D: The Southwest Strangla's a distant cry from Scooby's stoner friend;

I'll tear your anus open wider than an anti-Eminem,

With disses damning as a ride down the Illusionary Halls,

Before I Slash your head right off and toss it like a Bowling Ball!

VJ: I fire off my Violent verses like a clip of silver bullets,

But in terms of wrecking you, 'bout any Loser crew could pull it.

Hard and steady as Maturin's shell, but fast with axe attacks,

And I'll be throwing you more Twiztid curves than Jeckel Brother Jack!

S2D: Call this the Ritual of Chüd, part número tres;

VJ: Won't be relenting 'til your putrid Derry-ére is straight-erased!

We'll take a hatchet to your balls and grind 'em into Curry stew…

Both: …'Cause we've seen Miracles galore, but still we don't believe in you!

 

• It: •

Your skulls are thicker than the pages of the novel whence I hail,

But I can see Behind the Paint, and make your Hokus Pokus fail!

You think pure Evil Is Afraid of your pathetic little schtick?

I'll leech your bodies dry of blood just like that ol' Hockstetter prick,

So take your pick: I've got a thousand different ways for you to die.

Devour you and your producer, too; three piggies in a pie!

I'll undo you like a Slipknot; It's All Over for you maggots!

How can you hope to outwit me when you're stumped by fucking magnets?

Darkness ancient as the Tower, and no sooner will I crumble,

For my horror is Universal; mimicking the whole ensemble.

Time for clowning 'round is through, and now I'm taking out the trash,

With eight unholy legs a-walkin', and my deadlights set to flash!

 

• Insane Clown Posse: •

Shaggy 2 Dope: Think you're above the human race with that Todash arachnid crap?!

Violent J: ICP acts Above the Law when we deliver Murder-Raps:

We'll leave more craters in your face than when you show up in the moon,

'Fore we extract your bloody, beating heart like it's Temple of Doom!

S2D: Then after all is said and done, we'll get some Juggalettes to gather,

And proceed to play some Neden Game on top of your cadaver!

VJ: Said we'd send you down to Hell, but it so happens that we lied…

S2D: …Because that shit's too good for you, and so you go to Echo Side!

VJ: The Riddle Box is popping open, and your final fate is sealed!

S2D: Prepare to meet your brother Dandelo out in the Killing Fields!

 

WHO WON?

 

WHO'S NEXT?

 

I DECIDE!!!!!

This build dates from 2016, though I have modified it and updated it several times. It was inspired by the Royal Navy's Type 45 Destroyers (and reading Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels). Features include a small flight deck, 2 x Phalanx CIWS, high-calibre guns, and a powerful radar.

An illustration from the Illustrated Western Weekly News of 28 June 1913 showing impersonator Cyril Clensy as Martin Harvey in the revue "Hullo Ragtime".

 

Cyril John Clensy was born in Egremont, Cheshire, on 3rd June 1882. His parents were John Gornall Clensy and his wife Emma Isabel, neé Roan.

 

At the time of Cyril's birth, his parents and their sons Edward and Reginald were living at "Mersey Villa", Charlotte Road, Egremont. John Gornall Clensy was described as a Commercial Clerk.

 

Cyril was baptised at St Peter's, Church Street, Liverpool on 4th April 1883, although the family were still living in Egremont.

 

By the time of the 1891 census, Cyril, his brothers and mother were living at 17 Woodlands Road, Barnes. His father was away in Liverpool visiting glass engineer, Andrew McFarlane and his family. John's occupation was given as Secretary of the Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society.

 

John Gornall Clensy died on 18th September 1896 in Liscard, Cheshire, although his home address was "Overton Lodge", 2 Overton Road, Brixton, Surrey.

 

Described by now as a "gentlemen", he left his effects to his wife, Emma, and they amounted to £469 7s.

 

Cyril attended the Royal College of Music, studying cello. While there in 1898 he played in a string quartet comprising the future composer Haydn Wood, Sybil Maturin and Tom Morris.

 

In 1901, widowed Emma and her three sons were living at 36 Chelsham Road, Clapham. Reginald was an insurance clerk (with the LV?) while younger brothers Edward and Cyril are both described in the census as musicians.

 

In May 1903 both Cyril and Edward (using the name "Rohan" rather than his actual middle name Roan) appeared at the Bechstein Hall accompanying Madame Norcrosse on the violin and cello. The pianist was the well-known Frank Mummery.

 

By 1909 Cyril was described in "Variety" as "an impersonator of all kinds of actors, was at the Palace last week and showing up well". Another review in the "New York Clipper" said:

 

Cyril Clensy. the mimic, has a new and ingenious environment for his act, which he successfully tried at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on Monday. An actor, cast on an Island is ordered to amuse Its cannibal king, or die. He imitates a dozen popular favorites with remarkable skill, but there is never a smile on the dusky monarch's face. As a final, desperate effort the actor burlesques Tree's Hamlet. A shout of laughter ensues, and the mimic's life is saved.

 

It seems possible that it was his skill as a cellist which took him into impersonation, as James Jupp described in his "The Gaiety Stage Door", published in 1923:

 

Cyril Clensy, the mimic and actor, and a man who could be equally famous as a 'cellist if he but chose to let the public know what a master of that instrument he is, told me a story the other day which, considered from a professional point of view, shows the awful type of man who nowadays has it in his power to engage an artiste.

 

A man was wanted for a dramatic sketch, somewhat after the style of Auguste van Biene's "Master Musician" in which he had to play a solo on the 'cello, and of course, as the character was that of a great musician, this solo had necessarily to be well rendered. An agent was applied to, and he thought of Cyril Clensy. He wrote to him, asking him to call.

 

Needless to say, a contract was made out and signed, as it was left to the agent to get the right man, and there was no necessity to refer Clensy to the manager. The agent knew his abilities as an actor and musician. When the agent told the manager that he had secured the very man he wanted, and mentioned Cyril Clensy's name, he said :

 

"Oh, that's good, very good indeed ! He will be splendid, I know. But you had better get him to set to work on the 'cello and learn to play it, because we open in three weeks."

 

There is also a human story about Cyril. It was during the war, when he was a sergeant. [he wasn't - see below for his actual wartime story].

 

One night, when they were mounting guard, Clensy was in charge. The officer came along and inspected the new guard, and having occasion to find some slight fault with one of the men's rifles, called Sergeant Clensy and asked him to examine it for himself. As soon as Cyril spoke the officer turned to him and looked very intently into his face. "What is your name, Sergeant? Is it Clensy?" "Yes, sir, that is my name!" Fortunately for the man whose rifle had caused this interruption, his offence was forgotten. "I should very much like to see you when you come off guard, Sergeant. Come to my quarters, will you?"

 

When the time came, Cyril cleaned up and presented himself at the officer's private room. "Come in, Sergeant! Sit right down and make yourself comfy. I won't ask you what you will have because I remember only too well what you like, and I've got it here for you."

 

Then he turned to Clensy, and asked him quite seriously: "Don't you recognize me, or are you still

proving what a good actor you are? Come, tell me the truth."

 

Cyril admitted that he could not place him, although there was something familiar about his voice and he seemed to remember the name. The officer laughed. "Well, I suppose it is our meeting under the very altered conditions. My rank, to begin with, would naturally put you off the scent; but if you will recall the time when you were giving your mimicry at Wyndham's Theatre in place of the usual curtain raiser, you might be able to recognize your dresser." It was the man who had dressed him for six months. Cyril promptly sprang up, saluted, and then, shaking hands with him, congratulated him upon his position. They spent many happy hours together."

 

At the time of the 1911 census Cyril was living at 60 Ribblesdale Road, Streatham, with an out-of-work stage manager, Harry Ulph, and his family. Cyril didn't give an occupation but did give his nationality as Irish.

 

Cyril's talent as a mimic was already being acknowledged. In "The Art of Mimicry" J. Arthur Bleackley wrote in 1911:

 

Cyril Clensy is a young mimic who has come to the front very quickly. He has scored several great successes at the Palace, and elsewhere. He thoroughly deserves his popularity, for he is extremely versatile and clever. His facial expressions are always true to the artiste he is depicting, and he is swiftly making the most rapid progress in his art.

 

Cyril's big break seems to have arrived on 23rd December 1912 with the London Hippodrome revue "Hullo Ragtime". With music and lyrics by Louis Hirsch, the revue was devised by Max Pemberton and Albert de Courville. Additional songs were by Maurice Abrahams, Nat D. Ayer, Irving Berlin, A. Seymour Brown, L. Wolfe Gilbert and Luis Muir, and sketches were by J.M. Barrie.

 

"Punch" wrote:

 

The representative of Mr. MARTIN HARVEY was more like the original, but The Only Way is too established an institution to ridicule at this time of day even if the impersonator had got Mr. HARVEY'S voice right. But a really excellent imitation of Mr. GEORGE GRAVES was given by Mr. CYRIL CLENSY in the midst of playing the character of Sir Wilkie Bard

 

Following its success in Central London when almost 750,000 people saw it, the revue went on tour including a visit to Plymouth starting on 30th June 1913. This photo was used in publicity for that run.

 

The Great War began just over a year later. Cyril enlisted at Handel Street, Bloomsbury, on 11th December 1915.

 

Despite James Judd's mention of "Sergeant Clensy", Cyril never did attain that rank. When he joined up he gave his occupation as "Music hall artist" and said he'd been working for the past eighteen months for "Moss Empire" in London and the provinces.

 

79122 Private Cyril Clensy of the 1st (Res) Battalion of the London Regiment was delcared "unfit for active service" in March 1917 and returned home to 9 York Building, Adelphi, London.

 

What was the reason for his discharge? According to his statement made on 29th March 1916, "about six years ago he was thrown from a motor-car hurting his head back and front, unconscious for 2 days, ill for two months afterwards. He has suffered from nervous debility since bombs were dropped in the Strand, London, at which time he was in the Strand Theatre. When on a route march June last he fell out and was unconscious for 20 minutes, had to be brought back to camp. Frequently "goes sick", cannot sleep. His mother suicided Sept 9 1913* not caused but aggravated by his military duties."

 

* Emma died on 5th September 1913 at 167 Knollys Road, Streatham, leaving £713 11s to her son Reginald.

 

At some point before his discharge, Cyril was based at Fovant Camp in Hampshire. While there, on 17th April 1916, he formed part of concert party, being described as "Impersonator (from the London Hippodrome)".

 

Following his discharge he slipped back onto the stage - and in very illustrious company. In November and December 1917 he was appearing at the Coliseum in a show which included Ellen Terry in scenes from "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and Sir Edward Elgar conducting his own song-cycle "The Fringes of the Fleet".

 

After the war Cyril did some radio work - "Impersonations by Cyril Clensy" on 2LO at 7.45pm on Wednesday 9th February 1927, for example.

 

He must also have continued to appear in music hall and theatre, though as yet I've found no record.

 

In late 1938 Cyril was finally married in Kensington to Emily J Heathcote.

 

Cyirl and Emily disappear for the course of the Second World War, but reappear living at 67 Brook Green, Hammersmith, in 1945. Two years later, in 1947, they had moved to 16 Hereford Road, Paddington.

 

By 1949 they had moved again, this time to 75 Gunterstone Road, W14. They stayed here until Emily's death (?) in 1953 (?).

 

In 1954 Cyril was living in the Rowton House in Hammersmith. Rowton Houses were a chain of hostels built in London, England by the Victorian philanthropist Lord Rowton to provide "decent accommodation for working men". Cyril would have had his own cubicle, but not a room to himself.

 

Cyril is last recorded living in the Rowton House in 1959 by which time he was aged 77.

 

It seems likely that in 1960 he moved into Brinsworth House in Twickenham, a retirement home especially for members of the acting and entertainment professions, founded in 1908 to care for members of what was at that time the variety and music hall profession.

 

Cyril John Clensy died on 16th August 1962, probably at Brinsworth House, and is commemorated on the Variety Artistes Memorial in Twickenham Cemetery.

F. 96-97: Hymnes de la Vierge transcrites d’une encre et d’une main légèrement différente. - Décoration: Ce livre d'heures où coexistent deux styles profondément différents, l'un tirant sa source de Jean Pucelle, l'autre annonçant le style gothique international, est un témoignage de la rupture de style qui se produisit dans l'enluminure frnaçaise dans les deux dernières décennies du XIVe siècle: cf. Les Fastes du gothique..., p. 343.La décoration du volume s’est faite en deux phases. Millard Meiss (French Painting in the Time of Jean de Berry. The Late XIVth Century and the Patronage of the Duke, 1967, p. 160-193) et François Avril ont attribué à Jean Le Noir, successeur de Jean Pucelle qui travailla successivement pour Jean le Bon, Charles V puis Jean de Berry, les premières illustrations datant des années 1375-1380. Sa main se reconnaît dans neuf grandes miniatures : f. 53, 76, 79v, 82, 83v, 86v, 89v, 92v, 94v. On lui doit aussi les deux figures de l’ange Gabriel et de la Vierge de l’Annonciation (f. 22) et celles du mendiant et de ses enfants dans la marge gauche du f. 97v. L’intervention du peintre se devine aussi dans les décors végétaux et le délicat dessin des initiales filigranées: cf. la base en ligne d ela BnF: www.mandragore.bnf.fr. Les peintures des f. 40v (annonce aux bergers), 207 (naissance de s. Jean-Baptiste), 208 (s. Jean-Baptiste au désert), 212v (danse de Salomé), complétées par la suite peuvent , selon Avril, être « considérées comme des œuvres à part entière » de l’artiste (F. Avril, Les petites Heures…, p. 109). La deuxième campagne peut-être datée des années 1385-1390. La décoration du manuscrit fut alors confiée à Jacquemart de Hesdin,peintre au service de Jean de Berry, et à ses collaborateurs. L’artiste a complété les peintures des f. 8, 38, 40v, 42v, 45v, 203, 212, 214.Au nombre de ses collaborateurs, on peut citer le Maître de la Trinité, ainsi désigné d’après l’office de la Trinité des Petites Heures dont il a exécuté cinq des huit miniatures : f. 183, 188, 189, 192, 194v. On reconnaît sa main dans la peinture du couronnement de la Vierge (f. 48v), dans quatre peintures de l’office du Saint-Esprit ( f. 67, 70, 72, 74) et des Lamentations (f. 158, 163), dans la série des offices de la semaine (f. 137v, 140v, 141v) et dans certaines peintures illustrant les prières (f. 100v, 103v, 196, 198v). Meiss voit aussi sa main dans les grandes peintures de l’office de s. Jean-Baptiste : f. 203, 209v, 211, 214. Quatre petites miniatures (f. 160, 161, 186v, 199v) ont été attribuées à celui que Meiss désigne sous le nom de «Cinquième Maître ».Le dernier artiste est le Pseudo-Jacquemart, qui collabora à l’illustration du Psautier et des Grandes Heures de Jean de Berry. Outre le calendrier, il compléta les scènes commencées par Jean Le Noir : f. 8, 9v, 12, 71, 73, 75, 134v, 136, 141, 142v, 144, 144v, 155, 164, 166, 191, 193, 196v, 197v ?, 198, 206, 217. On lui doit aussi les scènes des f. 63v, 104, 104v, 105, 105v, 106v, 115v, 117v, 119, 119v, 120, 121v, 122, 123v, 132v, 139, 143, 143v, 145v, 162, 167-176v, 181v, 239, 267, 278v, 282, 286.La miniature finale, représentant représentant Jean de Berry et sa suite sortant d’une ville fortifiée pour se rendre à un lieu de pèlerinage, illustrant la prière des voyageurs, est attribuée à Jean de Limbourgaprès 1410. - Une peinture pleine page introduisant les Heures de la Vierge (f. 22) : miniature (80 x 65 mm) encadrée des figures des apôtres, de la Vierge à l’enfant, du Christ, sur les quatre bordures. - Peintures occupant les deux tiers d’une colonne (80x 65 mm) suivies d’une initiale ornée ou historiée et de cinq lignes à six lignes de texte avec riche encadrement marginal vignetté, introduisant les trois chapitres des Enseignements (f. 8, 9v, 17), les Heures de la Vierge et chacun de leurs offices (f. 22-51), les Psaumes de la Pénitence (f. 53), les Heures du Saint-Esprit (f. 67), les Heures de la Passion et chacun de leurs offices (f. 76-96), la prière introductrice aux oraisons et suffrages (Prière au Christ et à la Vierge, f. 97v), les Heures de la Trinité (f. 183), les Heures de saint Jean-Baptiste et chacun de leurs offices (f. 203-215), l’Office de morts (f.217), la prière des voyageurs (f. 288v). - On retrouve dans la mise en page des éléments de celle des. - Très Belles Heures. - (BnF, ms.

François Avril, Les Petites Heures de Jean duc de Berry, Introduction.., p. 52. Le binion final du manuscrit (f. 287-290) a été ajouté postérieurement (vers 1412-1414) : au dernier cahier qui comportait à l’origine une oraison latine à la Croix a été substitué un nouveau cahier comportant la fin de la complainte du crucifix et un court office pour les voyageurs : cf. Avril, op. cit., p. 24. Marques de production : numéros d’ordre en chiffres romains en face de série d’enluminures, correspondant, selon François Avril (op. cit., p. 62) à un compte établi par les artistes en vue peut-être d’un paiement : f. 104, 105 ; 167v-176. – Indications, écrites ou dessinées, destinées à l’enlumineur : f. 104 : esquisse de deux anges dans la marge droite ; f. 105 : inscription du mot « martirs » dans la marge droite ; f. 189 : esquisse d’un chérubin. - Réglure : à l’encre rose (calendrier, réglure discernable à partir du f. 6r : novembre) ; à l’encre brune (texte). - Reliure de maroquin bleu tirant sur le noir commandée par Roger de Gaignières, le 9 mai 1708 : cf. mention autographe sur le recto de la garde A : « Elles [Ces Heures] estoient reliées en velours violet fort passé et fort passé avec des coins et des fermoirs d’argent doré lorsque je les achetay le [lblanc] de Madame du Chasnay dans le cloître des Bernardins de Paris. Je les ay fait relier comme elles ont le 9e may 1708. Et cet escrit est au premier feuillet. R. De Gaignières ». Le dos remplacé lors de la restauration effectuée récemment est conservé, collé sur une des dernières gardes de l’ouvrage : le chiffre formé de 2 « G » entrelacés accompagné aux quatre points cardinaux de quatre lions y apparaît sur cinq des entre-nerfs. Titre inscrit sur une étiquette de cuir brun foncé : « HEURES DE LOUIS/ DUC D’ANJOU/ROY DE JERUSALEM/ET AUTRES PIECES ». Tranches dorées. Les inventaires de la librairie de Jean de Berry dressés entre 1402 et 1413 ainsi qu’une première mention du même feuillet de garde A nous renseignent sur les réfections de la reliure au cours des siècles. En 1402, les Heures étaient « couvertes d’un sathin bleu doublé d’un tercelin vermeil, garnies de deux fermouers d’or a deux ors [sic pro ours] tenens les armes de Monseigneur, assis sur tixuz noire, semez de treffles d’or. Et est la pipe desdictes Heures esmaillee aux armes de mondit seigneur, garnie de deux perles ; et a ou milieu un balay longuet » (BnF, ms. latin 11496, f. 18, n° 172, cité par Guiffrey, Inventaires.., 1894, II, n° 172). Le tissu de satin bleu fut remplacé en 1413 par un drap de damas violet : « … Et souloient estre couvertes d’un satin bleu doublé de tiercelin vermeil, et a present sont couvertes de drap de damas violet » (Guiffrey, I, n° 851). L’ouvrage fut recouvert de velours violet en 1606, sur l’ordre de Charles II, duc de Lorraine et de Bar (mention du f. Ar) : « Ces Heures ont esté reliees en l’estat qu’elles ont en l’an 1606, par ordre de Charles par la grace de Dieu duc de Lorraine et de Bar. Auparavant elles etoient couvertes d’argent, mais les pieces estoient fort gastees et rompues et paroissoit y avoir des pierreries sur l’argent ». - Estampilles : aux f. 1 et 290v, estampille de la « BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE » (1792-1802), correspondant au modèle Josserand-Bruno, type 17 ; au f. Av, estampille de la « BIBLIOTHÈQUE IMPÉRIALE. MSS » (1865-1870), correspondant au modèle Josserand-Bruno, type 36 Suite du texte 267-268 ; II, p. 75-76. F. 96-97: Hymnes de la Vierge transcrites d’une encre et d’une main légèrement différente. - Décoration: Ce livre d'heures où coexistent deux styles profondément différents, l'un tirant sa source de Jean Pucelle, l'autre annonçant le style gothique international, est un témoignage de la rupture de style qui se produisit dans l'enluminure frnaçaise dans les deux dernières décennies du XIVe siècle: cf.

Marques de production : numéros d’ordre en chiffres romains en face de série d’enluminures, correspondant, selon François Avril (op. cit., p. 62) à un compte établi par les artistes en vue peut-être d’un paiement : f. 104, 105 ; 167v-176. – Indications, écrites ou dessinées, destinées à l’enlumineur : f. 104 : esquisse de deux anges dans la marge droite ; f. 105 : inscription du mot « martirs » dans la marge droite ; f. 189 : esquisse d’un chérubin. - Réglure : à l’encre rose (calendrier, réglure discernable à partir du f. 6r : novembre) ; à l’encre brune (texte). - Reliure de maroquin bleu tirant sur le noir commandée par Roger de Gaignières, le 9 mai 1708 : cf. mention autographe sur le recto de la garde A : « Elles [Ces Heures] estoient reliées en velours violet fort passé et fort passé avec des coins et des fermoirs d’argent doré lorsque je les achetay le [lblanc] de Madame du Chasnay dans le cloître des Bernardins de Paris. Je les ay fait relier comme elles ont le 9e may 1708. Et cet escrit est au premier feuillet. R. De Gaignières ». Le dos remplacé lors de la restauration effectuée récemment est conservé, collé sur une des dernières gardes de l’ouvrage : le chiffre formé de 2 « G » entrelacés accompagné aux quatre points cardinaux de quatre lions y apparaît sur cinq des entre-nerfs. Titre inscrit sur une étiquette de cuir brun foncé : « HEURES DE LOUIS/ DUC D’ANJOU/ROY DE JERUSALEM/ET AUTRES PIECES ». Tranches dorées. Les inventaires de la librairie de Jean de Berry dressés entre 1402 et 1413 ainsi qu’une première mention du même feuillet de garde A nous renseignent sur les réfections de la reliure au cours des siècles. En 1402, les Heures étaient « couvertes d’un sathin bleu doublé d’un tercelin vermeil, garnies de deux fermouers d’or a deux ors [sic pro ours] tenens les armes de Monseigneur, assis sur tixuz noire, semez de treffles d’or. Et est la pipe desdictes Heures esmaillee aux armes de mondit seigneur, garnie de deux perles ; et a ou milieu un balay longuet » (BnF, ms. latin 11496, f. 18, n° 172, cité par Guiffrey, Inventaires.., 1894, II, n° 172). Le tissu de satin bleu fut remplacé en 1413 par un drap de damas violet : « … Et souloient estre couvertes d’un satin bleu doublé de tiercelin vermeil, et a present sont couvertes de drap de damas violet » (Guiffrey, I, n° 851). L’ouvrage fut recouvert de velours violet en 1606, sur l’ordre de Charles II, duc de Lorraine et de Bar (mention du f. Ar) : « Ces Heures ont esté reliees en l’estat qu’elles ont en l’an 1606, par ordre de Charles par la grace de Dieu duc de Lorraine et de Bar. Auparavant elles etoient couvertes d’argent, mais les pieces estoient fort gastees et rompues et paroissoit y avoir des pierreries sur l’argent ». - Estampilles : aux f. 1 et 290v, estampille de la « BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE » (1792-1802), correspondant au modèle Josserand-Bruno, type 17 ; au f. Av, estampille de la « BIBLIOTHÈQUE IMPÉRIALE. MSS » (1865-1870), correspondant au modèle Josserand-Bruno, type 36 Description : Numérisation effectuée à partir d'un document original. Description : Collection numérique : Europeana Regia : manuscrits de la librairie de Charles V et de sa famille Description : La composition du manuscrit est à rapprocher d’autres livres d’Heures de Jean de Berry : les Enseignements qui figurent aux f. 8-20 ont sans doute été copiés sur les Heures de Jean le Bon citées dans l’inventaire de 1413 au n° 968 (Guiffrey, Inventaires, 1894, I, p. 257). Le ms a peut-être servi de modèle à la copie du ms. NAL 3093 et des Heures de Turin, aujourd’hui disparues pour les offices et prières des f. 63v-182. Les textes finaux des f. 239-287 ont été empruntés au Psautier de Bonne de Luxembourg, mère de Jean de Berry (actuel ms. New York, Musée des Cloîtres, 69-86).F. 1-6.

D. O. Connell, The Teachings of Saint Louis, University of Carolina, 1972. Une version identique figure dans un Livre de prières de Philippe le Hardi (Bruxelles, ms. 10392, f. 301-303v) et dans les Heures de Jean le Bon (Guiffrey, Inventaires, n° 968).

It always bothers me to see quills that are cut wrong and don't have any of the barbs stripped off. I'm rather proud of mine (made from a tiny feather).

I cannot read the writing on this, but it was in 1912, in a churchyard cemetery just out of Tarrytown, NY. (curiousstoneurnburialsitechurchyardoutoftarrytownny)

UPDATE: This is a LIVINGSTON Grave, and some of the people here were born in the 1700s.. It is not, as my great grandfather thought, when he visited it in 1912, just out of Tarrytown, N.Y. Through the miracle of www findagrave dot com, and through some of my own ingenuity and curiosity, I found where it is on today, December 13, 2007. It is in St. James Episcopal Churchyard Cemetery in Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New York, USA.

The primary surname on the tomb is LIVINGSTON. Maturin LIVINGSTON is the primary person. There may be a wife, and a child, as well, and I will be looking into it. Well, not literally. Without meaning any disrespect, I kind of agree with some of my commenters. This is a strange memorial. I wonder if some are buried in the concrete vault looking thing, and some in the bathtub looking thing, or some cremated, each with a separate container, or just what. I do know clawfoot tub looking part has been on top of the other part since at least 1912.

Harry Baur (1880-1943) was a famous French film and stage actor. Directed by directors as wide-ranging as Julien Duvivier, Raymond Bernard, Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Pierre Chenal, Robert Siodmak and Maurice Tourneur, he switched just as easily from père Lepic of Poil de carotte, to commissaire Maigret, Jean Valjean from Les Misérables, judge Porphyre from Crime et chatiment, Hérode, Tarass Boulba, Beethoven, captain Mollenard, czar Paul I, Rasputin, and Volpone.

 

Henri-Marie Rodolphe Baur, better known as Harry Baur, was born on 12 April 1880 in Paris. His parents were catholic people from the Alsace, his father from Mulhouse, and his mother from Bitche en Moselle. They were ruined after theft and had to move to ever more modest dwellings. Baur’s father died when Harry was 10, so his mother and his sister Blanche raised him. He first did college at Saint-Nazaire. To escape the religious education his family wanted him to take, he fled to Marseille and joined the rugby team of the XVth Olympic Games in Marseille. Here he started studies at the École d'Hydrographie and enrolled in various odd jobs such as peddler, carter, braider of funeral wreaths, etc. Slowly he managed to start a career as a stage actor. As he was refused at the Conservatoire in Paris, he took private lessons. He first enlisted at the Comédie Mondaine in 'Le Filleul du 31', then received his first awards for tragedy in 'Le Cid' and for comedy with 'L'Avare' at the Conservatoire in Marseille, while he did military service in Le Mans. He became the secretary of the famous actor-director Mounet-Sully. From 1904 on, he played in numerous Parisian theatres: Comédie Mondaine, Grand Guignol, Palais-Royal, and Mathurins; later he also played with Gémier and Antoine. Because of a beginning facial paralysis, he didn’t have to do service when war broke out in 1914, so he continued to play at the Gaîté-Lyrique, the Ambigu, the Porte Saint-Martin, the Gymnase, the Édouard VII, the Variétés, etc. Baur also collaborated as a film reviewer for Crapouillot, under the pseudonym of Orido de Fhair. By the early 1910s, Baur had become not only a man of substance in the diversity of his career but also physically. Between 1909 and 1914, Harry Baur performed in almost 30 silent films. He started at Eclair with Beethoven (1908) by Victorin Jasset, but worked at Pathé as well from 1909, a.o. in the Vidoq films (1909-1911), and the Film d’art films such as L’Assommoir (Albert Capellani 1909) after Zola. At Eclair he worked a.o. with director Maurice Tourneur in Monsieur Lecoq (1914). With Mistinguett, Baur played in Fleur de Paris (André Hugon 1916) and Chignon d’or (André Hugon 1916), with Albert Dieudonné in Sous la griffe (Diedonné 1921), and in La voyante (Leon Abrams, Louis Mercaton 1923) he played opposite Sarah Bernhardt. Between 1924 and the arrival of French sound film Baur was away from the screen and focused on the stage. In 1910 Baur married actress Rose Cremer, known as Rose Grande, and they had three children. In 1931, Rose Grande died during a trip to Algeria. Baur then married Rika Radifé, a stage actress as well, and of Turkish origin (her real name was Rebecca Behar).

 

In late 1931 Baur started a triumph with his interpretation of César in Marcel Pagnol’s play Fanny, the sequel to his Marius. Baur had substituted the great actor Raimu in this role and would become a fierce competitor to Raimu all through the 1930s, both on stage and on the silver screen. Earlier that year 1931 one of Baur’s first sound films had been released: David Golder, directed by Julien Duvivier, who supposedly had brought Baur back to the screen – Duvivier was Baur’s most important director in the 1930s. The timing of David Golder is not entirely clear, as in 1931 Baur also went to London to act in an early French talkie shot there at British International Pictures: Le cap perdu by E.A. Dupont, a multilingual. While Le cap perdu remains forgotten, David Golder, about a Jewish banker betrayed, was a huge success in France at the time. And this even when it was almost shot like a silent film, at the Basque Coast. It was a clever streak for Duvivier to relaunch Baur with this topic as Harry Baur had already been successful in a stage version of it at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin in Paris. In March 1931, the moment David Golder was released in France, Baur started production for Jean Kemm’s Le juif polonais (1931), about a man who is haunted by his murder; the film was all created for Baur to excel but it wasn’t as lucrative as David Golder. After this followed Criminel (1932) by Jack Forrester, in which Baur was a prison warden, while a debuting Jean Servais played an innocently condemned young man who is involved in a crime within the prison.

 

After this, Baur played in three films by Julien Duvivier. The first was Les cinq gentlemen maudits (1932) with René Lefèvre and Robert Le Vigan. Parallel Duvivier shot a German version with Adolf Wohlbruck, Camilla Horn, and Jack Trevor. Exteriors were shot at Fez, Marrakech and Moulay-Idriss. The press praised Duvivier’s taste for atmosphere, picturesque and exoticism. Next was the adaptation of Jules Renard’s novel Poil de Carotte, with Harry Baur as the unforgettable Monsieur Lepic next to the young Robert Lynen (they shared the same destiny, as Lynen was a member of the Resistance in the war, who was imprisoned in 1943 and executed by the Germans in 1944). For his sound version of Poil de Carotte Duvivier borrowed from other works of Renard as well, such as La Bigote. In 1926 Duvivier had already made a silent version with André Heuzé as Poil de Carotte and Henry Krauss as M. Lepic. Harry Baur had a very precise idea of how to play Lepic and was a perfectionist in his creation. Poil de Carotte had a prosperous release in Paris in November 1932, with praise for Harry Baur. Not wanting to let go of his star Duvivier had Baur play commissaire Maigret in La tête d’un homme (1932). While Simenon thought Baur was too old for the part, too tragic, the film is considered one of the best adaptations.

 

In 1932 Baur played Monsieur de Tréville, captain of the King’s guards in the very flourishing sound version of Les trois mousquetaires (1932) shot by the same Henri Diamant-Berger, who had done a silent version a decade before; then a serial in 12 episodes, now a two-part sound version, entitled Les ferrets de la reine and Milady. Baur was coupled with Pierre Blanchar in Cette vieille canaille (Anatole Litvak 1933) and again in Crime et chatiment (1935) by Pierre Chenal. While Baur did not convince as a clochard who is a distant relative of the Rothschild family in Rotchild (Marco de Gastyne 1933), he came back full fling as Jean Valjean in Raymond Bernard’s adaptation of Victor Hugo’s classic novel Les Misérables, shot in 1933. For six months shooting took place in Paris and the South of France. Costars were Charles Vanel as Javert and Josseline Gael as Cosette. Because of its length, the film was released in two parts. It became Baur’s best-performed film performance and some say the best film interpretation of Hugo’s famous character. Because of the European success, Baur received Hollywood offers but declined; he didn’t want to leave Paris.

 

After two lesser films, Un homme en or by Jean Dréville, and Le greluchon delicat by Jean Choux, Baur was going places with Les nuits moscovites (Alexis Granowski 1934), based on a novel by Pierre Benoit, and marking the debut of Neapolitan singer-actor Tino Rossi. Harry Baur played a course, rich Russian wheat trader, opposite Annabella and Pierre-Richard Wilm. The success of the film caused producers to offer Baur one ‘Russian’ film after another. At the time films shot by and with fled White Russians were popular in France. After that it is time to play Herod in Duvivier’s Golgotha (1935), co-starring Jean Gabin as Pontius Pilate, Robert le Vigan as Jesus and Edwige Feuillère as Claudia Procula. General Production offered Baur in 1935 the part of Judge Porphyre in Pierre Chenal’s Crime et chatiment, based on Dostoyevsky's novel. The confrontation between Baur and Pierre Blanchar was the climax of this thriving film, which launched the career of Chenal in the 1930s. Blanchar obtained an award in Venice for his part, while the sets were highly stylized, inspired by German Expressionism. This might have inspired Duvivier to do a remake of the Expressionist classic Der Golem by Paul Wegener: Le Golem (1935), with Baur playing Emperor Rudolph and with shooting at studios in Prague, where the story takes place. Baur then went to London for an English version of Nuits moscovites, Moscow Nights (1935), shot by Anthony Asquith. In 1935 Maurice Tourneur, with whom Baur had worked together in the 1910s, shot Samson (released in France in 1936), a modern drama based on a play by Henry Bernstein that already had been adapted for silent cinema before and involved adultery and the power of money. Gaby Morlay and Baur were the central couple whose silences were as telling as their words. Costars were André Luguet, Gabrielle Dorziat, André Lefaur, and Suzy Prim. Then it was imperial Russia time again with Les yeux noirs (Viktor Tourjansky 1936) with Baur and Simone Simon, before moving over to the Hungarian steppes for Alexis Granowsky’s direction of Tarass Boulba (1936), based on Gogol’s novel and adapted by French author Pierre Benoît. It was both critically and commercially Baur’s biggest success since Les Misérables. The wild and intense portrait of Boulba by Baur impressed audiences; the role matched him perfectly.

 

For Les hommes nouveaux (1936), director Marcel L’Herbier shot the first documentary part on the pacification of Morocco with actor Gabriel Signoret made up as marshal Lyautey, whom all thought had a striking resemblance. Baur had a supporting part as Maurice de Tolly, inspector general. While the film was a clear colonial product, L’Herbier’s most important drive was to ignite the fire of national patriotism in light of the growing German military force. While a young Jean Marais had one of his first roles here, his main co-stars were Nathalie Paley and Signoret. While the film Paris (Jean Choux 1936) disappointed audiences as a too old-fashioned melodrama about a taxi driver who despairs when a young well-to-do abandons his child. Instead, Abel Gance gave Baur a great part in the title role of Un grand amour de Beethoven (1936), a character Baur had played in his first film. In 1936 Jacques de Baroncelli did a remake of his own Nitchevo (1926), a silent film about a submarine, then with Vanel as the commander, now with Baur. After a break in Italy, Duvivier asked Baur to play a man turned Dominican monk in his well-known bitter film Un carnet de bal (1937). In the film, a young widow (Marie Bell) revisits the dancers from her old booklet, but they are all disappointments. The film was a worldwide success and was awarded the Coppa Mussolini for the best foreign film in Venice. Next Baur took the boat to Algeria for the shooting of Sarati le Terrible by André Hugon, in which Baur played a sordid brute, who rules the underworld of the docks in Algiers. He remained within the exotic with his part as an Arabian sheikh in West Africa in Les secrets de la Mer Rouge (Richard Pottier 1937). In 1937 two more films followed, which were both released the year after. First another old Russian story, Nostalgie (1938) by again Tourjansky, and then Mollenard (1938) by Robert Siodmak, a Shanghai set film shot at Dunkerque, with the help of set designer Alexandre Trauner. Mollenard was one of the finest films of the era and meant a memorable part for Baur. Young Robert Lynen again played his son. Siodmak faced many problems during the making of this film: he lost good money over the competition with Duvivier on the adaptation rights, he had trouble finding producers, and at the start of shooting Baur had a heart attack, though without consequences. A third film that started in 1937 but was released in 1938 was L’Herbier’s production La tragédie impériale (1938), on the life of Rasputin and his power during the reign of the last czar Nicolas II. Baur had made a considerable study of his character; he also wore false high heels in his shoes and lost considerable weight to look more like his character.

 

While during the mid-1930s Baur had been extremely active, in 1938 he did less, perhaps warned by his attack. That year he completed his cycle of ‘Russian’ films with Maurice Tourneur’s remake of The Patriot (1938), about the last days of the mad czar Paul I. In 1928 Ernst Lubitsch had done a silent version with Emil Jannings in the lead, it won an Academy Award for the best scenario. In March-April 1939 the exteriors were shot for Jacques de Baroncelli’s film L’homme du Niger were shot in Sudan, under great difficulty. The film was selected for the first Cannes Film Festival of 1939, but because of the war that never took place. Baur left Sudan to go to Casablanca where Jean Dréville waited for him to perform in Le président Haudecoeur (1940). After that interiors were shot at the studios of Marcel Pagnol. The film came out on French screens on 11 April 1940. When France entered the world war most film shootings stopped temporarily. Many actors were mobilised but not all, so work could be done on the film Volpone (1940), directed by Tourneur, based on Ben Jonson’s classic text and released in Paris on 10 May 1941. The German army occupied Paris in June 1940. Film activities were slowed down but theatres reopened, so Baur went to the Théâtre du Gymnase for a reprisal of Jazz, directed by Pagnol. During a large orchestrated campaign from late 1940-early 1941, Harry Baur was heavily criticized by the right-wing anti-semitic press, accusing him of being a Jew and a Freemason. As much as he could Baur explained his Christian roots. The first film produced by Continental Films, the German film company active in France during the war, was L’assassinat du père Noël (Christian Jaque 1941). Hidden intentions were discovered in the dialogues written by Charles Spaak. Harry Baur had a grand part in the film as père Cornusse, maker of maps of the world. His co-stars were Raymond Rouleau and Renée Faure. In 1941 Tourneur asked Baur the last time for his film Pechés de jeunesse. Then things go wrong when Baur goes to Germany to play the male lead in a German production, Symphonie eines Leben (Heinz Bertram 1942), co-starring Henny Porten and Gisela Uhlen. The shootings took place from February to May 1942. In the meantime, the French slander of Baur being a Jew reaches Goebbels as well and in May 1942 Baur and his second wife are arrested. Baur is questioned, tortured and imprisoned. In September 1942 he is released, weighing just 40 kilos instead of around 100. He never recovers from his torture and dies on 8 April 1943 in Paris. NB French Wikipedia states he was only released just before his death, to die at his home. This is also what Hal Erickson writes; Erickson also writes the couple was arrested during the shooting in Berlin; first Rika as she was Jewish, then Harry trying to defend her. Cinememorial instead claims they were arrested in Paris by the Gestapo. Baur’s funeral took place at the church of St. Philippe du Roule and attracted the Tout-Paris of screen and stage. He was buried at the cimetière Saint-Vincent in Montmartre, where his tomb still attracts visitors. Baur’s wife Rika survived the German maltreatment. In 1953 she took over the Theatre des Maturins in Paris and ran it for decades.

 

PS Strangely enough, English Wikipedia apparently still pursues the nazi rumour that Baur was Jewish, while all other sources deny this. English Wikipedia also claims he was tortured to death, which is not exactly true as well. French and German Wikipedia mixed up dates: they state that Symphonie eines Lebens, once finished in September 1942, did not stop Baur to play, while a little lower they also state that in May 1942 Baur was arrested and was released in September 1942 as a total wreck. Filmportal.de indicates the dates for the shooting of Symphonie eines Lebens, while German Wikipedia also writes that director Bertram was expelled from the Reichskulturkammer that year. Finally, German IMDb states the film had its German premiere on 21 April 1943, just a few days after Baur died, so he never saw the film finished.

The Chinook HC.2 leaves us.

 

RAF Chinook HC Mk2

The Royal Air Force operate three operational squadrons of the Chinook HC Mk2. No 7,18, and 27 squadrons operate from RAF Odiham in Hampshire. One Chinook, with air and ground crews from Nos 7, 18 and 27 Squadrons is also operated from Mount Pleasant in the Falkland Islands on support helicopter tasks.

 

Chinooks are used primarily for trooping and for load carrying (both internal and underslung) and can carry up to 54 troops or 10 tonnes of freight. The cabin is large enough to accommodate two Land Rovers, while the three underslung load hooks allow a huge flexibility in the type and number of loads that can be carried. Secondary roles include Search and Rescue and Casualty Evacuation (a total of 24 stretchers can be carried). The crew consists of either two pilots, or a pilot and navigator, and two Air Loadmasters. The aircraft can be armed with two M-134 six-barrelled Miniguns and an M-60 machine gun.

F. 96-97: Hymnes de la Vierge transcrites d’une encre et d’une main légèrement différente. - Décoration: Ce livre d'heures où coexistent deux styles profondément différents, l'un tirant sa source de Jean Pucelle, l'autre annonçant le style gothique international, est un témoignage de la rupture de style qui se produisit dans l'enluminure frnaçaise dans les deux dernières décennies du XIVe siècle: cf. Les Fastes du gothique..., p. 343.La décoration du volume s’est faite en deux phases. Millard Meiss (French Painting in the Time of Jean de Berry. The Late XIVth Century and the Patronage of the Duke, 1967, p. 160-193) et François Avril ont attribué à Jean Le Noir, successeur de Jean Pucelle qui travailla successivement pour Jean le Bon, Charles V puis Jean de Berry, les premières illustrations datant des années 1375-1380. Sa main se reconnaît dans neuf grandes miniatures : f. 53, 76, 79v, 82, 83v, 86v, 89v, 92v, 94v. On lui doit aussi les deux figures de l’ange Gabriel et de la Vierge de l’Annonciation (f. 22) et celles du mendiant et de ses enfants dans la marge gauche du f. 97v. L’intervention du peintre se devine aussi dans les décors végétaux et le délicat dessin des initiales filigranées: cf. la base en ligne d ela BnF: www.mandragore.bnf.fr. Les peintures des f. 40v (annonce aux bergers), 207 (naissance de s. Jean-Baptiste), 208 (s. Jean-Baptiste au désert), 212v (danse de Salomé), complétées par la suite peuvent , selon Avril, être « considérées comme des œuvres à part entière » de l’artiste (F. Avril, Les petites Heures…, p. 109). La deuxième campagne peut-être datée des années 1385-1390. La décoration du manuscrit fut alors confiée à Jacquemart de Hesdin,peintre au service de Jean de Berry, et à ses collaborateurs. L’artiste a complété les peintures des f. 8, 38, 40v, 42v, 45v, 203, 212, 214.Au nombre de ses collaborateurs, on peut citer le Maître de la Trinité, ainsi désigné d’après l’office de la Trinité des Petites Heures dont il a exécuté cinq des huit miniatures : f. 183, 188, 189, 192, 194v. On reconnaît sa main dans la peinture du couronnement de la Vierge (f. 48v), dans quatre peintures de l’office du Saint-Esprit ( f. 67, 70, 72, 74) et des Lamentations (f. 158, 163), dans la série des offices de la semaine (f. 137v, 140v, 141v) et dans certaines peintures illustrant les prières (f. 100v, 103v, 196, 198v). Meiss voit aussi sa main dans les grandes peintures de l’office de s. Jean-Baptiste : f. 203, 209v, 211, 214. Quatre petites miniatures (f. 160, 161, 186v, 199v) ont été attribuées à celui que Meiss désigne sous le nom de «Cinquième Maître ».Le dernier artiste est le Pseudo-Jacquemart, qui collabora à l’illustration du Psautier et des Grandes Heures de Jean de Berry. Outre le calendrier, il compléta les scènes commencées par Jean Le Noir : f. 8, 9v, 12, 71, 73, 75, 134v, 136, 141, 142v, 144, 144v, 155, 164, 166, 191, 193, 196v, 197v ?, 198, 206, 217. On lui doit aussi les scènes des f. 63v, 104, 104v, 105, 105v, 106v, 115v, 117v, 119, 119v, 120, 121v, 122, 123v, 132v, 139, 143, 143v, 145v, 162, 167-176v, 181v, 239, 267, 278v, 282, 286.La miniature finale, représentant représentant Jean de Berry et sa suite sortant d’une ville fortifiée pour se rendre à un lieu de pèlerinage, illustrant la prière des voyageurs, est attribuée à Jean de Limbourgaprès 1410. - Une peinture pleine page introduisant les Heures de la Vierge (f. 22) : miniature (80 x 65 mm) encadrée des figures des apôtres, de la Vierge à l’enfant, du Christ, sur les quatre bordures. - Peintures occupant les deux tiers d’une colonne (80x 65 mm) suivies d’une initiale ornée ou historiée et de cinq lignes à six lignes de texte avec riche encadrement marginal vignetté, introduisant les trois chapitres des Enseignements (f. 8, 9v, 17), les Heures de la Vierge et chacun de leurs offices (f. 22-51), les Psaumes de la Pénitence (f. 53), les Heures du Saint-Esprit (f. 67), les Heures de la Passion et chacun de leurs offices (f. 76-96), la prière introductrice aux oraisons et suffrages (Prière au Christ et à la Vierge, f. 97v), les Heures de la Trinité (f. 183), les Heures de saint Jean-Baptiste et chacun de leurs offices (f. 203-215), l’Office de morts (f.217), la prière des voyageurs (f. 288v). - On retrouve dans la mise en page des éléments de celle des. - Très Belles Heures. - (BnF, ms.

François Avril, Les Petites Heures de Jean duc de Berry, Introduction.., p. 52. Le binion final du manuscrit (f. 287-290) a été ajouté postérieurement (vers 1412-1414) : au dernier cahier qui comportait à l’origine une oraison latine à la Croix a été substitué un nouveau cahier comportant la fin de la complainte du crucifix et un court office pour les voyageurs : cf. Avril, op. cit., p. 24. Marques de production : numéros d’ordre en chiffres romains en face de série d’enluminures, correspondant, selon François Avril (op. cit., p. 62) à un compte établi par les artistes en vue peut-être d’un paiement : f. 104, 105 ; 167v-176. – Indications, écrites ou dessinées, destinées à l’enlumineur : f. 104 : esquisse de deux anges dans la marge droite ; f. 105 : inscription du mot « martirs » dans la marge droite ; f. 189 : esquisse d’un chérubin. - Réglure : à l’encre rose (calendrier, réglure discernable à partir du f. 6r : novembre) ; à l’encre brune (texte). - Reliure de maroquin bleu tirant sur le noir commandée par Roger de Gaignières, le 9 mai 1708 : cf. mention autographe sur le recto de la garde A : « Elles [Ces Heures] estoient reliées en velours violet fort passé et fort passé avec des coins et des fermoirs d’argent doré lorsque je les achetay le [lblanc] de Madame du Chasnay dans le cloître des Bernardins de Paris. Je les ay fait relier comme elles ont le 9e may 1708. Et cet escrit est au premier feuillet. R. De Gaignières ».

Titre inscrit sur une étiquette de cuir brun foncé : « HEURES DE LOUIS/ DUC D’ANJOU/ROY DE JERUSALEM/ET AUTRES PIECES ». Tranches dorées. Les inventaires de la librairie de Jean de Berry dressés entre 1402 et 1413 ainsi qu’une première mention du même feuillet de garde A nous renseignent sur les réfections de la reliure au cours des siècles. En 1402, les Heures étaient « couvertes d’un sathin bleu doublé d’un tercelin vermeil, garnies de deux fermouers d’or a deux ors [sic pro ours] tenens les armes de Monseigneur, assis sur tixuz noire, semez de treffles d’or. Et est la pipe desdictes Heures esmaillee aux armes de mondit seigneur, garnie de deux perles ; et a ou milieu un balay longuet » (BnF, ms. latin 11496, f. 18, n° 172, cité par Guiffrey, Inventaires.., 1894, II, n° 172). Le tissu de satin bleu fut remplacé en 1413 par un drap de damas violet : « … Et souloient estre couvertes d’un satin bleu doublé de tiercelin vermeil, et a present sont couvertes de drap de damas violet » (Guiffrey, I, n° 851). L’ouvrage fut recouvert de velours violet en 1606, sur l’ordre de Charles II, duc de Lorraine et de Bar (mention du f. Ar) : « Ces Heures ont esté reliees en l’estat qu’elles ont en l’an 1606, par ordre de Charles par la grace de Dieu duc de Lorraine et de Bar. Auparavant elles etoient couvertes d’argent, mais les pieces estoient fort gastees et rompues et paroissoit y avoir des pierreries sur l’argent ». - Estampilles : aux f. 1 et 290v, estampille de la « BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE » (1792-1802), correspondant au modèle Josserand-Bruno, type 17 ; au f.

François Avril, Les Petites Heures de Jean duc de Berry, Introduction.., p. 52. Le binion final du manuscrit (f. 287-290) a été ajouté postérieurement (vers 1412-1414) : au dernier cahier qui comportait à l’origine une oraison latine à la Croix a été substitué un nouveau cahier comportant la fin de la complainte du crucifix et un court office pour les voyageurs : cf. Avril, op. cit., p. 24. Marques de production : numéros d’ordre en chiffres romains en face de série d’enluminures, correspondant, selon François Avril (op. cit., p. 62) à un compte établi par les artistes en vue peut-être d’un paiement : f. 104, 105 ; 167v-176. – Indications, écrites ou dessinées, destinées à l’enlumineur : f. 104 : esquisse de deux anges dans la marge droite ; f. 105 : inscription du mot « martirs » dans la marge droite ; f. 189 : esquisse d’un chérubin. - Réglure : à l’encre rose (calendrier, réglure discernable à partir du f. 6r : novembre) ; à l’encre brune (texte). - Reliure de maroquin bleu tirant sur le noir commandée par Roger de Gaignières, le 9 mai 1708 : cf. mention autographe sur le recto de la garde A : « Elles [Ces Heures] estoient reliées en velours violet fort passé et fort passé avec des coins et des fermoirs d’argent doré lorsque je les achetay le [lblanc] de Madame du Chasnay dans le cloître des Bernardins de Paris. Je les ay fait relier comme elles ont le 9e may 1708. Et cet escrit est au premier feuillet. R. De Gaignières ». Le dos remplacé lors de la restauration effectuée récemment est conservé, collé sur une des dernières gardes de l’ouvrage : le chiffre formé de 2 « G » entrelacés accompagné aux quatre points cardinaux de quatre lions y apparaît sur cinq des entre-nerfs. Titre inscrit sur une étiquette de cuir brun foncé : « HEURES DE LOUIS/ DUC D’ANJOU/ROY DE JERUSALEM/ET AUTRES PIECES ». Tranches dorées. Les inventaires de la librairie de Jean de Berry dressés entre 1402 et 1413 ainsi qu’une première mention du même feuillet de garde A nous renseignent sur les réfections de la reliure au cours des siècles. En 1402, les Heures étaient « couvertes d’un sathin bleu doublé d’un tercelin vermeil, garnies de deux fermouers d’or a deux ors [sic pro ours] tenens les armes de Monseigneur, assis sur tixuz noire, semez de treffles d’or. Et est la pipe desdictes Heures esmaillee aux armes de mondit seigneur, garnie de deux perles ; et a ou milieu un balay longuet » (BnF, ms. latin 11496, f. 18, n° 172, cité par Guiffrey, Inventaires.., 1894, II, n° 172). Le tissu de satin bleu fut remplacé en 1413 par un drap de damas violet : « … Et souloient estre couvertes d’un satin bleu doublé de tiercelin vermeil, et a present sont couvertes de drap de damas violet » (Guiffrey, I, n° 851). L’ouvrage fut recouvert de velours violet en 1606, sur l’ordre de Charles II, duc de Lorraine et de Bar (mention du f. Ar) : « Ces Heures ont esté reliees en l’estat qu’elles ont en l’an 1606, par ordre de Charles par la grace de Dieu duc de Lorraine et de Bar. Auparavant elles etoient couvertes d’argent, mais les pieces estoient fort gastees et rompues et paroissoit y avoir des pierreries sur l’argent ». - Estampilles : aux f. 1 et 290v, estampille de la « BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE » (1792-1802), correspondant au modèle Josserand-Bruno, type 17 ; au f. Av, estampille de la « BIBLIOTHÈQUE IMPÉRIALE. MSS » (1865-1870), correspondant au modèle Josserand-Bruno, type 36 Description : Numérisation effectuée à partir d'un document original. Description : Collection numérique : Europeana Regia : manuscrits de la librairie de Charles V et de sa famille Description : La composition du manuscrit est à rapprocher d’autres livres d’Heures de Jean de Berry : les Enseignements qui figurent aux f. 8-20 ont sans doute été copiés sur les Heures de Jean le Bon citées dans l’inventaire de 1413 au n° 968 (Guiffrey, Inventaires, 1894, I, p. 257). Le ms a peut-être servi de modèle à la copie du ms. NAL 3093 et des Heures de Turin, aujourd’hui disparues pour les offices et prières des f. 63v-182. Les textes finaux des f. 239-287 ont été empruntés au Psautier de Bonne de Luxembourg, mère de Jean de Berry (actuel ms. New York, Musée des Cloîtres, 69-86).F. 1-6.

Amen. Diex l’otroit ». Le texte se rapproche de la version brève distinguée par H.-F. Laborde (Bibliothèque de l’École des chartes, 73, 1912, p. 73-100, 237-262). Sur les deux versions du texte : cf. D. O. Connell, The Teachings of Saint Louis, University of Carolina, 1972. Une version identique figure dans un Livre de prières de Philippe le Hardi (Bruxelles, ms. 10392, f. 301-303v) et dans les Heures de Jean le Bon (Guiffrey, Inventaires, n° 968).

Villa Farnesina

La villa Farnesina (o villa della Farnesina) è un edificio storico di Roma.

 

Si trova su via della Lungara, nel rione Trastevere, nel Municipio I ed è uno degli edifici rappresentativi dell'architettura rinascimentale del primo Cinquecento. Progettata da Baldassarre Peruzzi fu il prototipo della villa suburbana romana e la sua realizzazione ebbe notevole risonanza, anche perché a partire dal 1511, completate le murature, la residenza fu affrescata secondo un programma iconografico di straordinaria ampiezza affidato ai più grandi artisti del periodo: lo stesso Peruzzi, Sebastiano del Piombo, Raffaello Sanzio e la sua scuola (compreso Giulio Romano) e Il Sodoma.

Storia

 

Fu costruita dal 1508 al 1512 dal giovane Peruzzi per il ricchissimo banchiere senese Agostino Chigi, grande mecenate e personaggio di spicco nella Roma di inizio Cinquecento, che aveva accumulato una grande fortuna dai proventi della vendita dell‘allume della Tolfa e che godeva della protezione di papa Giulio II prima, e Leone X poi. La Farnesina, che all'epoca era detta semplicemente villa Chigi, fu la prima villa nobiliare suburbana di Roma ed ebbe fin dall'inizio un grande risalto, venendo presto citata e imitata. Gli interventi architettonici, sebbene potevano dirsi conclusi nel 1512, si protrassero per altri lavori fino al 1520.

 

Con la morte del Chigi, nel 1520, la villa decadde e venne depauperata degli arredi e delle opere d'arte. Nel 1580 fu acquistata dal cardinale Alessandro Farnese ed ebbe così il nome attuale. A tale periodo risale un progetto, non realizzato, per collegare, con un passaggio coperto, Palazzo Farnese con la Farnesina. Nel 1714 divenne di proprietà dei Borbone di Napoli e nel 1864 vi si insediò l'ambasciatore Bermudez de Castro, che, due anni dopo, promosse una serie di pesanti restauri. Nel 1884 l'apertura del Lungotevere comportò la distruzione di una parte dei giardini e della loggia sul fiume, che forse era stata disegnata da Raffaello.

 

Dal 1927 appartiene allo Stato italiano, che l'ha fatta restaurare nel 1929-1942 per destinarla all'Accademia d'Italia a più riprese nel 1969-1983. Oggi è utilizzata dall'Accademia dei Lincei come sede di rappresentanza e ospita, al primo piano, il Gabinetto nazionale delle stampe.

Architettura

 

L'edificio, su due piani, ha una innovativa pianta a ferro di cavallo, che si apre verso il giardino con due ali tra cui è posta una loggia situata nel piano terreno e composta da cinque archi che sono attualmente chiusi da vetrate protettive; soluzione questa necessaria per la salvaguardia degli affreschi, ma che tuttavia ha alterato la percezione di vuoti e pieni. Tale schema che consente uno stretto legame tra il giardino e la villa, richiama modelli vitruviani e schemi architettonici presenti nell'opera di Francesco di Giorgio Martini e anticipati nella Villa Volte Alte nei pressi di Siena.

 

La loggia serviva da palcoscenico per le feste e le rappresentazioni teatrali organizzate dal proprietario. Il giardino all'italiana che completava la villa è stato molto alterato nel tempo.

 

L'edificio si distingue dai modelli bramanteschi correnti nella Roma di inizio secolo anche nella definizione delle facciate: non sono presenti, ad esempio, né il bugnato né i relativi archi alle finestre al piano terra, né colonne o elementi di rivestimento in marmo. Manca un forte rilievo plastico delle membrature architettoniche dei prospetti, ridotte a due ordini di lesene tuscaniche, che si profilano con leggerezza sul paramento murario[3]. In alto i prospetti sono conclusi da un piano ribassato, un attico di servizio, con all'esterno un fregio a rilievo di putti e ghirlande, dove si aprono finestrelle, al di sotto del cornicione[4].

 

L'aspetto originario dell'edificio presentava anche all'esterno ampie superfici affrescate, anche se rimangono oggi solo piccole tracce non leggibili.

 

La villa era completata con un padiglione separato ad uso forse di scuderie ed il cui progetto è attribuito a Raffaello. Attualmente, all'esterno del muro di cinta della villa, rimane il basamento dell'edificio caratterizzato dall'impianto con ali sporgenti, come l'edificio principale, e da paraste binate.

Interno

Gli affreschi della Loggia di Amore e Psiche di Raffaello

 

Per la decorazione interna Agostino Chigi chiamò i migliori artisti del tempo per eseguire negli spazi interni cicli di affreschi con caratteri innovativi e secondo un programma iconografico interamente improntato alla classicità.

 

Accedendo si incontra per primo un atrio, creato nel XIX secolo, che porta alla Loggia di Psiche.

La Loggia

 

Nella loggia è dipinto il ciclo con le Storie di Amore e Psiche, tratte da Apuleio[5], opera di Raffaello e dei suoi allievi (Raffaellino del Colle, Giovan Francesco Penni, Giulio Romano), in cui le scene sono inserite in un intreccio di festoni vegetali, opera dell'altro allievo Giovanni da Udine (1517, ripassate da Carlo Maratta nel 1693-1694)[2]. Gli affreschi vennero sicuramente disegnati da Raffaello, ma la stesura spetta soprattutto alla sua scuola. La presenza degli intrecci vegetali accresce il senso di continuum della loggia con il giardino; vi sono riconoscibili la bellezza di circa duecento specie botaniche, soprattutto domestiche[6], tra cui anche numerose piante importate dalle Americhe, scoperte solo pochi anni prima.

 

Al centro del complesso sistema figurativo spiccano le grandi rappresentazioni del Concilio degli dei e del Convito nuziale, tra finti arazzi tesi tra festoni. Nei peducci si trovano i vari episodi delle Storie di Amore e Psiche. Nelle vele sopra le lunette putti con gli attributi delle varie divinità[2].

 

Le peripezie di Psiche ripercorrono la medesima travagliata salita sociale di Francesca Ordeaschi, amante di Agostino Chigi, che da cortigiana si elevò al rango di moglie legittima del banchiere.

Sala del Fregio

 

Segue a sinistra la sala del Fregio, forse uno studiolo del committente. Le pareti, alle quali erano forse appesi arazzi, vennero affrescate nella fascia superiore da Baldassarre Peruzzi (1511 circa) con piccole scene mitologiche monocrome poste in sequenza, raffiguranti le Imprese di Ercole sul lato nord e in parte sul lato est, e altri episodi mitici, tratti dalle Metamorfosi di Ovidio, nel resto del fregio[2]. L'interpretazione complessiva è generalmente riferita al contrasto tra ragione e passione, tra sfera apollinea e sfera dionisiaca. Si tratta di una delle prime opere pittoriche di Peruzzi a Roma e lo stile risente ancora delle esperienze senesi.

Sala di Galatea

 

Una delle sale contigue alla loggia è la Sala di Galatea, un tempo con archi aperti sul giardino, che vennero chiusi nel 1650. La sala deve il nome all'affresco di Raffaello con il Trionfo di Galatea, che rappresenta la ninfa su un cocchio tirato da delfini, tra un festoso seguito di creature marine. Accanto all'affresco di Raffaello si trova il monumentale Polifemo di Sebastiano del Piombo (1512-1513), prima opera dell'artista veneziano a Roma, arrivato proprio al seguito del Chigi[2].

 

Allo stesso artista si devono anche otto delle dieci lunette con immagini mitologiche, dipinte con i toni particolarmente ariosi, tipici del colorismo veneto. Raffigurano:

 

Tereo insegue Filomela e Progne

Aglauro ed Erse

Dedalo e Icaro

Giunone

Scilla taglia i capelli a Niso

Caduta di Perdix[7]

Borea rapisce Orizia

Zefiro e Flora

 

Un'altra lunetta mostra una testa a monocromo che la tradizione popolare vuole dipinta da Michelangelo, venuto in visita all'amico Sebastiano del Piombo, e desideroso di dare un bell'esempio di studio anatomico al rivale Raffaello; in realtà l'opera è da ascrivere al Peruzzi[2].

 

Baldassarre Peruzzi affrescò anche la volta, con vari temi mitologici entro riquadri geometrici, determinati dall'architettura dipinta che si raccorda a quella della parete. Al centro, in un ottagono regolare, si trova lo stemma del committente, affiancato da due scene più lunghe, pure di forma ottagono allungato: a sinistra la Fama annuncia la gloria terrena del banchiere, vicino a Perseo che uccide la Medusa, secondo un'iconografia derivata dall'Urania di Giovanni Pontano e dalle Mitologie di Fulgenzio; a destra Elice, la ninfa del polo celeste, ricorda come gli onori terreni dipendono dal favore degli astri. Seguono dieci pennacchi (doppi agli angoli, per un totale quindi di 14) con varie figure mitologiche/simboliche e dieci esagoni con varie divinità, intervallate negli spazi triangolari residui da putti a cavalli di animali fantastici a monocromo. Negli esagoni si vedono il Ratto di Ganimede, Venere in Toro, Apollo/Sole in Sagittario, che ricorda il segno del Chigi (nato il 29 novembre 1466 alle 21.30), Mercurio in Scorpione e Marte in Bilancia, Diana/Luna in Vergine (l'ascendente del Chigi al momento del concepimento), e ancora Ercole e il leone nemeo, Ercole e l'idra di Lerna, Leda e il cigno (indicatore per determinati movimenti astrologici), Giove in Toro (influenza benigna che determina il carattere generoso e magnanimo di Agostino), Saturno nella Vergine[8]. In definitiva si tratta quindi della raffigurazione dell'oroscopo personale di Agostino Chigi.

 

I dipinti della sala vennero ritoccati nel 1863 e restaurati nel 1969-1973.

Sala delle prospettive

La sala delle Prospettive

 

Al piano superiore si trova la sala delle prospettive, dipinta illusionisticamente nel 1518-1519, da Baldassarre Peruzzi e aiuti, come se fosse una loggia. Gli affreschi vennero completamente ridipinti nel 1863, ma recuperati dai restauri del 1976-1983. Qui Agostino Chigi tenne il suo banchetto nuziale nel 1519[9].

 

Ai lati del Salone Peruzzi dipinse due finte logge con colonne e archi, affacciate su vedute di Roma, tra cui una vista di Trastevere e una agreste. Sopra il camino si trova la Fucina di Vulcano. Il lungo fregio che cinge l'ambiente nella parte superiore delle pareti raffigura scene mitologiche eseguite dal Peruzzi e dalla sua bottega, intervallate da finti bassorilievi con erme femminili.

 

Nella sala delle prospettive è facile individuare sulle pareti incisioni e graffiti vandalici risalenti al sacco di Roma del 1527 compiuti da lanzichenecchi che bivaccarono nella villa.

Sala delle Nozze di Alessandro e Rossane

 

L'attigua camera da letto era usata dal Chigi e dalla sua consorte[9]. Venne decorata da affreschi del Sodoma (1517), con scene della vita di Alessandro Magno, soggetto destinato a glorificare il committente, identificato con il personaggio della classicità.

 

Particolarmente conosciuta la scena delle Nozze di Alessandro e Rossane, affrescata sull'intero lato nord, basata su fonti letterarie classiche, nel tentativo archeologizzante di ricostruire, attraverso la descrizione fatta da Luciano di Samosata, un dipinto del pittore greco Aezione[10]. Nell'affresco sono frequenti i richiami all'imminente matrimonio di Alessandro e Rossane, dai puttini alati alla fiaccola accesa sostenuta dal dio Imeneo, emblema delle nozze, ritratto alle spalle del seminudo Efestione, compagno del condottiero. Gli altri episodi legati al ciclo del condottiero sono la Famiglia di Dario davanti ad Alessandro, sulla parete est, Alessandro Magno doma Bucefalo, nel quale è riconoscibile, specialmente nella parte destra, la mano di un collaboratore, e Alessandro in battaglia nella parete sud. Del Sodoma anche Vulcano alla forgia con alcuni amorini che gli porgono dei dardi[9].

 

Esiste anche una lettura ermetica di questi affreschi del Sodoma, con analogie tra un significato manifesto della narrazione e uno latente, di ermeneutica alchemica, con le quattro fasi della Grande Opera (nigredo, rubedo, citrinitas, albedo) descritte con simboli crittografici[11][12].

 

Questi affreschi, ritoccati da Carlo Maratta, vennero restaurati nel 1974-1976.

 

L'elaborato soffitto a cassettoni, disegnato da Peruzzi, mostra dodici piccoli riquadri con scene dalle Metamorfosi di Ovidio, eseguiti poi dal Maturino[13] aiutato probabilmente da un giovane Polidoro da Caravaggio.

Archeologia

 

La villa Farnesina è interessata anche da ritrovamenti archeologici localizzati sotto una parte del giardino, dove è stata ritrovata, nel XIX secolo, una lussuosa casa, risalente all'epoca augustea, che si ritiene possa essere stata la residenza di Marco Vipsanio Agrippa e Giulia maggiore. Tale residenza è stata denominata Casa della Farnesina ed è particolarmente ricca di affreschi, molti dei quali sono oggi a Palazzo Massimo alle Terme.

 

Le pitture murali - come anche quelle della Casa di Livia - mostrano una combinazione tra il secondo e il terzo stile della pittura muraria romana. Mostrano immagini mitologiche centrali su uno sfondo bianco, che sono circondate da fasce rosse. Nello sfondo sono rappresentati colonne ed altri elementi architettonici. L'abitazione fu scoperta nei pressi della sede dei Lincei durante i lavori per la costruzione del muraglione lungo il Tevere, verso il 1880.

Harry Baur (1880-1943) was a famous French film and stage actor. Directed by directors as wide-ranging as Julien Duvivier, Raymond Bernard, Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Pierre Chenal, Robert Siodmak and Maurice Tourneur, he switched just as easily from père Lepic of Poil de carotte, to commissaire Maigret, Jean Valjean from Les Misérables, judge Porphyre from Crime et chatiment, Hérode, Tarass Boulba, Beethoven, captain Mollenard, czar Paul I, Rasputin, and Volpone.

 

Henri-Marie Rodolphe Baur, better known as Harry Baur, was born on 12 April 1880 in Paris. His parents were catholic people from the Alsace, his father from Mulhouse, and his mother from Bitche en Moselle. They were ruined after theft and had to move to ever more modest dwellings. Baur’s father died when Harry was 10, so his mother and his sister Blanche raised him. He first did college at Saint-Nazaire. To escape the religious education his family wanted him to take, he fled to Marseille and joined the rugby team of the XVth Olympic Games in Marseille. Here he started studies at the École d'Hydrographie and enrolled in various odd jobs such as peddler, carter, braider of funeral wreaths, etc. Slowly he managed to start a career as a stage actor. As he was refused at the Conservatoire in Paris, he took private lessons. He first enlisted at the Comédie Mondaine in 'Le Filleul du 31', then received his first awards for tragedy in 'Le Cid' and for comedy with 'L'Avare' at the Conservatoire in Marseille, while he did military service in Le Mans. He became the secretary of the famous actor-director Mounet-Sully. From 1904 on, he played in numerous Parisian theatres: Comédie Mondaine, Grand Guignol, Palais-Royal, and Mathurins; later he also played with Gémier and Antoine. Because of a beginning facial paralysis, he didn’t have to do service when war broke out in 1914, so he continued to play at the Gaîté-Lyrique, the Ambigu, the Porte Saint-Martin, the Gymnase, the Édouard VII, the Variétés, etc. Baur also collaborated as a film reviewer for Crapouillot, under the pseudonym of Orido de Fhair. By the early 1910s, Baur had become not only a man of substance in the diversity of his career but also physically. Between 1909 and 1914, Harry Baur performed in almost 30 silent films. He started at Eclair with Beethoven (1908) by Victorin Jasset, but worked at Pathé as well from 1909, a.o. in the Vidoq films (1909-1911), and the Film d’art films such as L’Assommoir (Albert Capellani 1909) after Zola. At Eclair he worked a.o. with director Maurice Tourneur in Monsieur Lecoq (1914). With Mistinguett, Baur played in Fleur de Paris (André Hugon 1916) and Chignon d’or (André Hugon 1916), with Albert Dieudonné in Sous la griffe (Diedonné 1921), and in La voyante (Leon Abrams, Louis Mercaton 1923) he played opposite Sarah Bernhardt. Between 1924 and the arrival of French sound film Baur was away from the screen and focused on the stage. In 1910 Baur married actress Rose Cremer, known as Rose Grande, and they had three children. In 1931, Rose Grande died during a trip to Algeria. Baur then married Rika Radifé, a stage actress as well, and of Turkish origin (her real name was Rebecca Behar).

 

In late 1931 Baur started a triumph with his interpretation of César in Marcel Pagnol’s play Fanny, the sequel to his Marius. Baur had substituted the great actor Raimu in this role and would become a fierce competitor to Raimu all through the 1930s, both on stage and on the silver screen. Earlier that year 1931 one of Baur’s first sound films had been released: David Golder, directed by Julien Duvivier, who supposedly had brought Baur back to the screen – Duvivier was Baur’s most important director in the 1930s. The timing of David Golder is not entirely clear, as in 1931 Baur also went to London to act in an early French talkie shot there at British International Pictures: Le cap perdu by E.A. Dupont, a multilingual. While Le cap perdu remains forgotten, David Golder, about a Jewish banker betrayed, was a huge success in France at the time. And this even when it was almost shot like a silent film, at the Basque Coast. It was a clever streak for Duvivier to relaunch Baur with this topic as Harry Baur had already been successful in a stage version of it at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin in Paris. In March 1931, the moment David Golder was released in France, Baur started production for Jean Kemm’s Le juif polonais (1931), about a man who is haunted by his murder; the film was all created for Baur to excel but it wasn’t as lucrative as David Golder. After this followed Criminel (1932) by Jack Forrester, in which Baur was a prison warden, while a debuting Jean Servais played an innocently condemned young man who is involved in a crime within the prison.

 

After this, Baur played in three films by Julien Duvivier. The first was Les cinq gentlemen maudits (1932) with René Lefèvre and Robert Le Vigan. Parallel Duvivier shot a German version with Adolf Wohlbruck, Camilla Horn, and Jack Trevor. Exteriors were shot at Fez, Marrakech and Moulay-Idriss. The press praised Duvivier’s taste for atmosphere, picturesque and exoticism. Next was the adaptation of Jules Renard’s novel Poil de Carotte, with Harry Baur as the unforgettable Monsieur Lepic next to the young Robert Lynen (they shared the same destiny, as Lynen was a member of the Resistance in the war, who was imprisoned in 1943 and executed by the Germans in 1944). For his sound version of Poil de Carotte Duvivier borrowed from other works of Renard as well, such as La Bigote. In 1926 Duvivier had already made a silent version with André Heuzé as Poil de Carotte and Henry Krauss as M. Lepic. Harry Baur had a very precise idea of how to play Lepic and was a perfectionist in his creation. Poil de Carotte had a prosperous release in Paris in November 1932, with praise for Harry Baur. Not wanting to let go of his star Duvivier had Baur play commissaire Maigret in La tête d’un homme (1932). While Simenon thought Baur was too old for the part, too tragic, the film is considered one of the best adaptations.

 

In 1932 Baur played Monsieur de Tréville, captain of the King’s guards in the very flourishing sound version of Les trois mousquetaires (1932) shot by the same Henri Diamant-Berger, who had done a silent version a decade before; then a serial in 12 episodes, now a two-part sound version, entitled Les ferrets de la reine and Milady. Baur was coupled with Pierre Blanchar in Cette vieille canaille (Anatole Litvak 1933) and again in Crime et chatiment (1935) by Pierre Chenal. While Baur did not convince as a clochard who is a distant relative of the Rothschild family in Rotchild (Marco de Gastyne 1933), he came back full fling as Jean Valjean in Raymond Bernard’s adaptation of Victor Hugo’s classic novel Les Misérables, shot in 1933. For six months shooting took place in Paris and the South of France. Costars were Charles Vanel as Javert and Josseline Gael as Cosette. Because of its length, the film was released in two parts. It became Baur’s best-performed film performance and some say the best film interpretation of Hugo’s famous character. Because of the European success, Baur received Hollywood offers but declined; he didn’t want to leave Paris.

 

After two lesser films, Un homme en or by Jean Dréville, and Le greluchon delicat by Jean Choux, Baur was going places with Les nuits moscovites (Alexis Granowski 1934), based on a novel by Pierre Benoit, and marking the debut of Neapolitan singer-actor Tino Rossi. Harry Baur played a course, rich Russian wheat trader, opposite Annabella and Pierre-Richard Wilm. The success of the film caused producers to offer Baur one ‘Russian’ film after another. At the time films shot by and with fled White Russians were popular in France. After that it is time to play Herod in Duvivier’s Golgotha (1935), co-starring Jean Gabin as Pontius Pilate, Robert le Vigan as Jesus and Edwige Feuillère as Claudia Procula. General Production offered Baur in 1935 the part of Judge Porphyre in Pierre Chenal’s Crime et chatiment, based on Dostoievski’s novel. The confrontation between Baur and Pierre Blanchar was the climax of this thriving film, which launched the career of Chenal in the 1930s. Blanchar obtained an award in Venice for his part, while the sets were highly stylized, inspired by German Expressionism. This might have inspired Duvivier to do a remake of the Expressionist classic Der Golem by Paul Wegener: Le Golem (1935), with Baur playing Emperor Rudolph and with shooting at studios in Prague, where the story takes place. Baur then went to London for an English version of Nuits moscovites, Moscow Nights (1935), shot by Anthony Asquith. In 1935 Maurice Tourneur, with whom Baur had worked together in the 1910s, shot Samson (released in France in 1936), a modern drama based on a play by Henry Bernstein that already had been adapted for silent cinema before and involved adultery and the power of money. Gaby Morlay and Baur were the central couple whose silences were as telling as their words. Costars were André Luguet, Gabrielle Dorziat, André Lefaur, and Suzy Prim. Then it was imperial Russia time again with Les yeux noirs (Viktor Tourjansky 1936) with Baur and Simone Simon, before moving over to the Hungarian steppes for Alexis Granowsky’s direction of Tarass Boulba (1936), based on Gogol’s novel and adapted by French author Pierre Benoît. It was both critically and commercially Baur’s biggest success since Les Misérables. The wild and intense portrait of Boulba by Baur impressed audiences; the role matched him perfectly.

 

For Les hommes nouveaux (1936), director Marcel L’Herbier shot the first documentary part on the pacification of Morocco with actor Gabriel Signoret made up as marshal Lyautey, whom all thought had a striking resemblance. Baur had a supporting part as Maurice de Tolly, inspector general. While the film was a clear colonial product, L’Herbier’s most important drive was to ignite the fire of national patriotism in light of the growing German military force. While a young Jean Marais had one of his first roles here, his main co-stars were Nathalie Paley and Signoret. While the film Paris (Jean Choux 1936) disappointed audiences as a too old-fashioned melodrama about a taxi driver who despairs when a young well-to-do abandons his child. Instead, Abel Gance gave Baur a great part in the title role of Un grand amour de Beethoven (1936), a character Baur had played in his first film. In 1936 Jacques de Baroncelli did a remake of his own Nitchevo (1926), a silent film about a submarine, then with Vanel as the commander, now with Baur. After a break in Italy, Duvivier asked Baur to play a man turned Dominican monk in his well-known bitter film Un carnet de bal (1937). In the film, a young widow (Marie Bell) revisits the dancers from her old booklet, but they are all disappointments. The film was a worldwide success and was awarded the Coppa Mussolini for the best foreign film in Venice. Next Baur took the boat to Algeria for the shooting of Sarati le Terrible by André Hugon, in which Baur played a sordid brute, who rules the underworld of the docks in Algiers. He remained within the exotic with his part as an Arabian sheikh in West Africa in Les secrets de la Mer Rouge (Richard Pottier 1937). In 1937 two more films followed, which were both released the year after. First another old Russian story, Nostalgie (1938) by again Tourjansky, and then Mollenard (1938) by Robert Siodmak, a Shanghai set film but shot at Dunkerque, with the help of set designer Alexandre Trauner. Mollenard was one of the finest films of the era and meant a memorable part for Baur. Young Robert Lynen again played his son. Siodmak faced many problems during the making of this film: he lost good money over the competition with Duvivier on the adaptation rights, he had trouble finding producers, and at the start of shooting Baur had a heart attack, though without consequences. A third film that started in 1937 but was released in 1938 was L’Herbier’s production La tragédie impériale (1938), on the life of Rasputin and his power during the reign of the last czar Nicolas II. Baur had made a considerable study of his character; he also wore false high heels in his shoes and lost considerable weight to look more like his character.

 

While during the mid-1930s Baur had been extremely active, in 1938 he did less, perhaps warned by his attack. That year he completed his cycle of ‘Russian’ films with Maurice Tourneur’s remake of The Patriot (1938), about the last days of the mad czar Paul I. In 1928 Ernst Lubitsch had done a silent version with Emil Jannings in the lead, it won an Academy Award for the best scenario. In March-April 1939 the exteriors were shot for Jacques de Baroncelli’s film L’homme du Niger were shot in Sudan, under great difficulty. The film was selected for the first Cannes Film Festival of 1939, but because of the war that never took place. Baur left Sudan to go to Casablanca where Jean Dréville waited for him to perform in Le président Haudecoeur (1940). After that interiors were shot at the studios of Marcel Pagnol. The film came out on French screens on 11 April 1940. When France entered the world war most film shootings stopped temporarily. Many actors were mobilised but not all, and so work could be done on the film Volpone (1940), directed by Tourneur, based on Ben Jonson’s classic text and released in Paris on 10 May 1941. The German army occupied Paris in June 1940. Film activities were slowed down but theatres reopened, so Baur went to the Théâtre du Gymnase for a reprisal of Jazz, directed by Pagnol. During a large orchestrated campaign from late 1940-early 1941, Harry Baur was heavily criticized by the right-wing anti-semitic press, accusing him of being a Jew and a Freemason. As much as he could Baur explained his Christian roots. The first film produced by Continental Films, the German film company active in France during the war, was L’assassinat du père Noël (Christian Jaque 1941). Hidden intentions were discovered in the dialogues written by Charles Spaak. Harry Baur had a grand part in the film as père Cornusse, maker of maps of the world. His co-stars were Raymond Rouleau and Renée Faure. In 1941 Tourneur asked Baur the last time for his film Pechés de jeunesse. Then things go wrong when Baur goes to Germany to play the male lead in a German production, Symphonie eines Leben (Heinz Bertram 1942), costarring Henny Porten and Gisela Uhlen. The shootings took place from February to May 1942. In the meantime, the French slander of Baur being a Jew reaches Goebbels as well and in May 1942 Baur and his second wife are arrested. Baur is questioned, tortured and imprisoned. In September 1942 he is released, weighing just 40 kilos instead of around 100. He never recovers from his torture and dies on 8 April 1943 in Paris. NB French Wikipedia states he was only released just before his death, to die at his home. This is also what Hal Erickson writes; Erickson also writes the couple was arrested during the shooting in Berlin; first Rika as she was Jewish, then Harry trying to defend her. Cinememorial instead claims they were arrested in Paris by the Gestapo. Baur’s funeral took place at the church of St. Philippe du Roule and attracted the Tout-Paris of screen and stage. He was buried at the cimetière Saint-Vincent in Montmartre, where his tomb still attracts visitors. Baur’s wife Rika survived the German maltreatment. In 1953 she took over the Theatre des Maturins in Paris and ran it for decades.

 

PS Strangely enough, English Wikipedia apparently still pursues the nazi rumour that Baur was Jewish, while all other sources deny this. English Wikipedia also claims he was tortured to death, which is not exactly true as well. French and German Wikipedia mixed up dates: they state that Symphonie eines Lebens, once finished in September 1942, did not stop Baur to play, while a little lower they also state that in May 1942 Baur was arrested and was released in September 1942 as a total wreck. Filmportal.de indicates the dates for the shooting of Symphonie eines Lebens, while German Wikipedia also writes that director Bertram was expelled from the Reichskulturkammer that year. Finally, German IMDb states the film had its German premiere on 21 April 1943, just a few days after Baur died, so he never saw the film finished.

Built 1879 as 3 shops for William Kither, architect Rowland Rees, replacing earlier premises on site. One shop was Kither’s butcher shop and the remaining two were occupied by various businesses, including dining rooms, fancy goods, confectioner, tailor, etc.

William Kither arrived in SA 1855 with his parents & siblings. He first worked for a draper before becoming an apprentice butcher. Later he encouraged his father to purchase the butcher shop. After his father’s death 1869 William with his mother Sarah ran the business as “S Kither & Son” until her death in 1875 when it was known as “W Kither”. He was the first to install refrigeration in 1884. After William’s death the business was carried on by his son Clarence Maturin Kither. The building was sold 1932 when Kither’s moved to King William Street.

Re-opened as Clarkson Ltd showrooms 5 Dec 1932, with architects Woods, Bagot, Laybourne-Smith & Irwin making the transformation, building purchased by Commonwealth Bank 1958, Clarksons leadlight & stained glass department closed 1960.

This building originally had the date MDCCCLXXX (ie 1880) and “Kither’s Buildings” on the facade. The ornate balcony has also been removed.

 

“Mr. W. Kither, Butcher, 13 and 117, Rundle-street, begs to inform his numerous Customers and the public in general that he has Taken the Business hitherto carried on by Mr. Hince, next the Red Lion, 13, Rundle-street, which will be continued in connection with his old established Shop at 117, Rundle-street. . . continuing to supply Meat of Prime Quality, at the lowest remunerative rates for cash payments.” [Adelaide Express 10 Aug 1866 advert]

 

“Butchers, Rundle-street. In returning their sincere thanks to the public for their liberal support bestowed on the late W. Kither for so many .years, beg respectfully to intimate that they will still carry on the business on the same premises in the name of S. Kither & Son.” [Express & Telegraph 13 Sep 1869 advert]

 

“William Kither, Late of the Firm of S. Kither & Son, 117 Rundle-Street, Butchers and Sausage Makers. In tendering my sincere thanks to the customers and the public generally for the very liberal support accorded to our old-established business for the last 20 years, I beg to intimate that I will in future carry on the said business in my own name.” [Register 9 Nov 1875 advert]

 

“On Saturday evening the first three shops of the block of buildings in Rundle street to be known hereafter as Kither's Buildings were lighted up and opened for the inspection of the public. . . The principal shop of the three is intended for Mr. W. Kither, and is one of the best-appointed butcher's establishments we have ever seen. The shop is thirty feet long by nineteen wide and fourteen in height. A very pleasing effect is secured by the introduction of Minton's hexagon glazed white enamelled tiles, with which the walls are entirely lined. . . There is to be an icehouse in this cellar in which to keep meat during the summer, and the accommodation otherwise is well adapted for the curing and export trade Mr. Kither carries on with Mauritius. Above and behind Mr. Kither's shop there is a substantial residence. The two adjoining shops are eighty-six feet long by twelve feet wide, and have above them rooms of the same dimensions.” [Evening Journal 14 Jul 1879]

 

“the style adopted being Italian renaissance of very ornate character, forming a striking addition to the architecture of Adelaide. The verandahs are of noble proportions, and the effect is greatly added to by the artistic pencils of Messrs. Vosz & Son and their workmen.” [Chronicle & Weekly Mail 19 Jul 1879]

 

“William Kither, Butcher and Sausage Maker, has the honour to announce that he will Open His Elegant and Commodious Premises, recently rebuilt at great expense under the supervision and from the designs of a well known architect, at Kither’s Buildings, Rundle-Street on Saturday, July 19, 1879, where he trusts his numerous customers and friends will favour him by a continuance of their support, which he has enjoyed for so many years past.” [Evening Journal 18 Jul 1879 advert]

“We are requested to call the attention of the Public of the east part of the City to those cool and well ventilated Rooms, opened by J. Jackman, which was so much needed in that locality, where Tea, Coffee, or Cooca, 3d. per cup, can be had at any time from 7 a.m. till 8 p.m.; also Breakfast, consisting of Meat Bread and Butter, 2 cups of Tea or Coffee, 1s.; Dinner — three courses, 1s, Soup Joint, Pastry, or Cheese; Tea, according to bill of fare, with Bread and Butter and 2 cups of Tea, 1s.

“On Tuesday from noon until 2 o'clock in the afternoon the first free distribution of soup and bread to the distressed poor was made at the premises of Alderman Kither, who on that occasion provided both articles. . . there is a great deal of distress in the city. Altogether about thirty gallons of soup and forty loaves of bread were carried off by eager and indigent and genuinely grateful applicants, and the average daily demand will probably be about double that quantity. . . The soup and the bread were distributed by three private gentlemen who have interested themselves in the movement, and they were assisted by two of the City Missionaries and Miss Green.” [Evening Journal 28 May 1884]

 

“A refrigerating machine, the invention of Mr. Edmund Taylor — the first of the kind ever introduced into this colony — has just been erected under the superintendence of the inventor on the premises of Mr. W. Kither, butcher, of Rundle-street. . .

Built 1879 as 3 shops for William Kither, architect Rowland Rees, replacing earlier premises on site. One shop was Kither’s butcher shop and the remaining two were occupied by various businesses, including dining rooms, fancy goods, confectioner, tailor, etc.

William Kither arrived in SA 1855 with his parents & siblings. He first worked for a draper before becoming an apprentice butcher. Later he encouraged his father to purchase the butcher shop. After his father’s death 1869 William with his mother Sarah ran the business as “S Kither & Son” until her death in 1875 when it was known as “W Kither”. He was the first to install refrigeration in 1884. After William’s death the business was carried on by his son Clarence Maturin Kither. The building was sold 1932 when Kither’s moved to King William Street.

Re-opened as Clarkson Ltd showrooms 5 Dec 1932, with architects Woods, Bagot, Laybourne-Smith & Irwin making the transformation, building purchased by Commonwealth Bank 1958, Clarksons leadlight & stained glass department closed 1960.

This building originally had the date MDCCCLXXX (ie 1880) and “Kither’s Buildings” on the facade. The ornate balcony has also been removed.

Kither, Butcher, 13 and 117, Rundle-street, begs to inform his numerous Customers and the public in general that he has Taken the Business hitherto carried on by Mr. Hince, next the Red Lion, 13, Rundle-street, which will be continued in connection with his old established Shop at 117, Rundle-street. . . continuing to supply Meat of Prime Quality, at the lowest remunerative rates for cash payments.” [Adelaide Express 10 Aug 1866 advert]

“On Saturday evening the first three shops of the block of buildings in Rundle street to be known hereafter as Kither's Buildings were lighted up and opened for the inspection of the public. . . The principal shop of the three is intended for Mr. W. Kither, and is one of the best-appointed butcher's establishments we have ever seen. The shop is thirty feet long by nineteen wide and fourteen in height. A very pleasing effect is secured by the introduction of Minton's hexagon glazed white enamelled tiles, with which the walls are entirely lined. . . There is to be an icehouse in this cellar in which to keep meat during the summer, and the accommodation otherwise is well adapted for the curing and export trade Mr. Kither carries on with Mauritius. Above and behind Mr. Kither's shop there is a substantial residence. The two adjoining shops are eighty-six feet long by twelve feet wide, and have above them rooms of the same dimensions.” [Evening Journal 14 Jul 1879]
