Tempest, Marie (1864–1942) English actress who was hugely popular in both musical comedy and comic plays. Born Mary Susan Etherington on July 15, 1864, in London, England; died on October 14, 1942; educated at Midhurst and at a convent in Belgium; studied singing at the Royal Academy of Music, London; married Alfred E. Izard (divorced); married Cosmo Gordon-Lennox (an actor and playwright), in 1898 (died 1921); married William Graham Browne (an actor-director), in 1921 (died 1937); no children. Made London debut as Fiametta in Boccaccio (Comedy Theater, May 1885); appeared as Lady Blanche in The Fay o' Fire (Opéra Comique, 1885), in the title role in Erminie (Comedy Theater, 1885); took over the title role in Dorothy (Prince of Wales Theater, 1887); appeared as Kitty in The Red Hussar (Lyric Theater, 1889); made New York debut in the same role (Palmer's Theater, August 1889); toured U.S. and Canada with the J.C. Duff Opera Co. (1890–91); appeared as Adam in The Tyrolean (CasinoTheater, New York, 1891), O Mimosa San in The Geisha (Daly's Theater, London, 1896), in the title role in San Toy (Daly's Theater, 1899), as Nell Gwynn in English Nell (Prince of Wales Theater, 1900), in the title role in Peg Woffington (Prince of Wales Theater, 1901), as Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair (Prince of Wales Theater, 1901), as Kitty Silverton in The Marriage of Kitty (London and New York, 1903); toured America, Australia, and elsewhere (1914–22); appeared as Annabelle Leigh in Good Gracious, Annabelle (Duke of York's Theater, 1923), as Judith Bliss in Hay Fever (1925), as Angela Fane in The Cat's Cradle (Criterion Theater, 1926), in the title role in The First Mrs. Fraser (Haymarket Theater, 1929), as Fanny Cavendish in Theater Royal (Lyric Theater, 1934), as Georgia Leigh in Short Story (Queen's Theater, 1935), as Dora Randolph in Dear Octopus (Queen's Theater, 1938).The celebrated English actress Marie Tempest first graced the stage as a singer in operas and musical comedies before taking up serious acting, at which she was also immensely successful, at age 36. Tempest's phenomenal popularity lay not so much in her creative genius, but in her unique ability to bring much of her own personality and temperament to the characters she portrayed. "She seems to radiate the joy of living," wrote a reviewer for the London Times upon seeing her performance in The Cat's Cradle in April 1926, "to drive it home to us by her mere presence, by the inspiring notes of her voice, and by the depth of worldly experience and indulgence for our human foibles in her glance. Briefly she is a perpetual refreshment and source of pleasure; something for which the theater exists and by which it triumphantly justifies its existence."

Born in London in 1864, Tempest was educated at Midhurst and at a convent in Belgium until age 16, when she took up the study of music, first in Paris and then at London's Royal Academy of Music. While still a student, she made her singing debut at St. James's Hall, and from that time on was hooked on performing. Taking her stage name from her godmother, Lady Susan Vane-Tempest , she began her career singing in the provinces, and made her London debut in May 1885, in the role of Fiametta in the comic opera Boccaccio. Critics unanimously praised her voice but were somewhat divided on the subject of her acting.

In February 1887, after leading roles in The Fay o' Fire, Erminie, and La Béarnaise, Tempest took over the title role in Dorothy from Marion Hood . She played the role for two years, then won great acclaim as Kitty Carroll in The Red Hussar. Tempest made her American debut in that same role, opening at New York's Palmer Theater on August 5, 1889, to the delight of the critics. "It was a success and from the last notes of the song, Marie Tempest was received into the affections of New York theatergoers," wrote one. "After that the opera seemed to be a secondary consideration and the other players were but foils. Tempest only could fill the stage." The actress then toured the United States and Canada with the J.C. Duff Opera Company, taking roles in several well-known operas, including Arline in The Bohemian Girl, the title role in Mignon, and Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance. In October 1891, she returned to New York, where she was in constant demand for the next three years.

Back in London in 1895, Tempest began a five-year engagement at Daly's Theater, then under the management of George Edwardes. Now considered the queen of musical comedy, she was treated like royalty by Edwardes who insisted that she use the royal entrance rather than the stage door, and saw to it that a carriage waited

for her each evening after the show. Tempest also became the first actress to have her clothes designed by couturiers rather than theatrical designers. In 1898, she met and married actor and playwright Cosmo Gordon-Lennox, who also treated her like royalty, indulging her passion for shopping and redecorating. He introduced her to the world of literature and other intellectual pursuits. (Gordon-Lennox was Tempest's second husband; during her Royal Academy days, she had married and divorced Alfred Izard.)

In 1899, Tempest had a falling out with Edwardes over some long trousers he wanted her to wear for the title role in San Toy. She considered them tasteless and cut them into shorts before her first entrance, infuriating Edwardes and destroying their professional relationship. Not only did Tempest walk away from Daly's over the incident, but she turned her back on musical comedy as well. In August 1900, she entered the second phase of her career, opening as Nell Gwynn in English Nell, a play directed by Dion Boucicault, who also helped Tempest make the transition to straight plays. (She was serious about learning her craft, frequently spending an entire morning rehearsing simple stage business, like answering a phone or pouring a cup of tea.) Boucicault also directed Tempest in the title role in Peg Woffington , and as Becky Sharp in an adaptation of Vanity Fair (both 1901). In 1902, also under Boucicault's direction, she played Kitty Silverton in The Marriage of Kitty, which her husband had adapted from the French. The play, a huge success, marked the beginning of Tempest's eight-year relationship with producer Charles Frohman and remained in her repertoire for the next 30 years.

While Tempest was perfecting her acting technique and gaining a new reputation as a talented comedian, her marriage to Gordon-Lennox collapsed. In 1908, she met William Graham Browne, an aristocrat and actor six years her junior; their relationship is described by Eric Johns as the first deep friendship of her life. Their professional and personal association lasted 29 years, until Browne's death in 1937, although they did not marry until after Gordon-Lennox's death in 1921. Browne directed many of Tempest's productions, and encouraged her to further improve her acting. He also served as troubleshooter. "She was far from easy to work with," writes Johns, "and part of Willie's mission in life was to pour oil over troubled waters and keep the troupe together and in a reasonably happy frame of mind."

In September 1913, Tempest began a stint as manager of the Playhouse Theater in London, where she opened in the title role in Mary Goes First. With the outbreak of war in Europe, however, she soon went into debt. To keep afloat, she and Browne set off on a world tour which began in Toronto in October 1914, and over the course of the next eight years took them to New York, Chicago, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, the Straits Settlements, China, Japan, the Philippines, and through the United States. Tempest returned to London's Duke of York's Theater in 1923, playing the role of Annabelle Leigh in Good Gracious, Annabelle, which had been warmly received on tour. The London audience, however, hated the play and hissed and booed their disapproval. "How long I stood there, leaning against the wings I do not know," she told her biographer Hector Bolitho. "Dimly I remember clapping my hands over my ears, trying to shut out that cruel noise. Able to bear it no longer, I rushed to my dressing room and closed the door behind me … after thirty-seven years as a trouper I had been booed for the first time and in London." Tempest also said that something in her died that night and that afterwards she never felt quite the same about her "dear public." To improve her frame of mind, she revived The Marriage of Kitty, and ran nearly a year in it.

It was not until her role as Judith Bliss in Noel Coward's Hay Fever (1925), a role written with her in mind, that Tempest had her next unqualified hit. "The most delightful thing of the evening was to see Miss Marie Tempest coming into her own again with a part which gave every scope for her really distinguished sense of comedy and her admirable technique," wrote the critic for Punch. She "moved the house to a storm of spontaneous applause by the exquisite singing of a little chanson d'amour, and it was in perfect voice—not a note strained or even thin." Hay Fever ran for 337 performances and was followed by The Cat's Cradle (1926), another solid hit for the actress.

Tempest continued to perform throughout the 1930s, celebrating her jubilee on May 28, 1935, with a special benefit performance at the Drury Lane Theater. She was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE) in 1937, which was also the year she lost Willie, a shattering blow from which she never fully recovered. Her last appearance on the London stage was as Dora Randolph in Dodie Smith 's Dear Octopus, a successful venture that ran for 373 performances. Glen Byam Shaw, who directed the 67-year-old actress in the play, was awed by her genius for stage business, particularly in a scene in which she was listening to her daughter's problems while setting the table for dinner. "As she listened she made table napkins into the shape of water lilies, but fitted each deft movement to the text, thus pointing the daughter's lines in the most apposite manner. It won a round of applause every night."

Tempest was rehearsing for another role, under the direction of Henry Kendall, when it became clear that she was unable to learn her lines and had to be let go. She took the news bravely, although her eyes were filled with tears as she awaited the taxi to take her home. She died within six weeks, on October 14, 1942. Noel Coward had once paid fitting tribute to Tempest: "When she steps on to a stage a certain magic occurs, and this magic is in itself unexplainable and belongs only to the very great."

:

There's an enormous difference between animal...

That just makes me want to buy it more. Srsly.fuck zoos and circuses- humans need to learn to shift their focus to actually protecting the.wildlife and nature. Using zoos for conservation just gives us another excuse for cutting down their natural habitats even more

This is a perfect example of not understanding the science behind conservation. Normally I’m a lot nicer about this stuff but it’s 3:00 AM and I’m running on fumes, so sorry for the curtness.

First, circuses don’t even begin to enter into the conversation. This is about zoos.

Second, zoos are absolutely vital to conversation. It’s super late and I don’t want to rehash these articles, so go read a few of them and then come back with some actual evidence for anti-zoo claims that aren’t from animal rights sources.

Popular press

https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.proxy.cc.uic.edu/doi/full/10.1111/cura.12188- if you’re only going to read one of these, read this one. It’s about how zoos make the biodiversity crisis real for a lot of people.

Saying “fuck zoos” and saying that humans need to learn to shift their focus is pretty naive. In a perfect world, maybe we wouldn’t need zoos.

But we don’t have a perfect world, we have this one, and saying “fuck zoos” isn’t going to change it. Global capitalism doesn’t care about animals. It doesn’t care about people. We have to be realistic in understanding what can and cannot be accomplished within the current global context, and until it becomes less profitable to destroy natural habitat, individuals focusing on wildlife and nature protection isn’t gonna do a goddamn thing. Zoos are also incredibly useful for managing population genetics, because wild animals don’t understand concepts like inbreeding depression and genetic bottlenecks. Zoos aren’t an excuse for cutting down natural habitats. They’re the last best hope for species survival.

Eastern Red Cedars and Christmas Past

Our grown children were scattered hither and yon this Christmas, so Rose and I downsized Yuletide with a raggedy Eastern red cedar, instead of a sculpted Fraser fir. Meanwhile, I stayed merry and bright in a larger sense. I made the rounds in a Santa suit leavened with a puffy pillow.

We dug a cedar (Juniperus virginiana)from our Salvisa farm. It had unmistakable charm-even if I was the only one who thought so. There were obvious advantages to our little tree. It was a blessing to be able to lean over and place the angel on top of a three-foot tree instead of climbing a rickety stepladder to crown the angel on an eight-foot store-bought tree. We also avoided the fuss and drama of untangling fifteen miles of lights and replacing a thousand blown bulbs. None of that was Santa's business, anyway. He had children waiting for his seasonal meet and greet.

Santa passed up the customary team of reindeer for a get-around ride in an all-electric Chevy Bolt. The Bolt's range, on a full charge, is only 200 miles and change. Santa drove back and forth between Louisville and Salvisa.

But Santa had a hard time keeping his eyes on the road. The 50-mile drive passes thousands of Eastern red cedars as common as winter mud and as variable as snowflakes. There were fat ones, short ones, some pencil-thin, and all kinds in between.

My preferred Christmas tree has long been a Fraser fir grown on tree farms in the high mountains of North Carolina. The Fraser Fir is often called the Cadillac of Christmas trees. These cultivated trees are trimmed tighter than a Victorian corset, and the forest-scented, dark green needles grow on limbs strong enough to hang an anvil.

Cedars at Berry Hill. Frankfort, Kentucky

Still, I've grown partial to the red cedar. It's more like the Chevy Corvair of Christmas Trees. (I once owned a used 1965 Corvair and loved the car Ralph Nader claimed was “unsafe to Drive at Any Speed.” I drove the wheels off the rust bucket and sold it for $185, ten dollars more than the purchase price.)

Like the Corvair, the Eastern red cedar never really caught on. Nowhere, in gardens, was the cedar comparable to its juniper counterparts. But why was the North American Eastern Red Cedar so scarce in landscapes? It's hard to fathom, though it probably has some connection to the human obsession with symmetry, the rage for order.

Mike Dirr, the legendary woody plants expert, and former University of Georgia horticulture teacher, described the species as “a tough, irrepressible green soldier that can prosper where few plants can even survive.”

“…irrepressible green soldiers that can prosper where few plants can even survive.” Louisville, Kentucky.

The late J.C. Raulston, a hugely popular teacher at North Carolina State University, once had a trick final exam question for his graduate level course, Physiology of Landscape Plants. '”Name a specific tree which meets the following requirements for a given landscape - can be grown from USDA Hardiness Zone 2 through 9, drought tolerant, tolerant of high or low pH soils whether loose and gravely or compacted, minimal pest problems, salt and wind tolerant for beach conditions, evergreen, attractive fruit, long lived, tolerates high winds and has a solid root system to prevent “wind throw,” propagates easily, is easy to nursery transplant and establish in the landscape, and is rapid growing when young.”'

Cedar selections, planted by Louisville tree activist Mike Hayman, on Cedar Hill in Seneca Park.

A few students, out of frustration, took a wild guess: a plastic plant, they thought. Raulston answered: “Not correct as it does not grow rapidly when young!” These bright kids hadn't given much thought to Eastern red cedars. But how could they miss the beauty of this native evergreen and its attendant winter show-offs- the robins, cardinals and cedar waxwings feeding on cedar berries?

Black Friday, Internet Monday and the holidays were here and, then, gone.

The cedar berries on the farm are being picked clean.

I re-planted the little cedar tree on the farm and Santa took his suit to the dry cleaners.
