My Very Dear Wife:
Tumblr media
...
I know I have but few claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me, perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar, that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, nor that, when my last breath escapes me on the battle-field, it will whisper your name.
Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless, how foolish I have oftentimes been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears, every little spot upon your happiness, and struggle with all the misfortune of this world, to shield you and my children from harm. But I cannot, I must watch you from the spirit land and hover near you, while you buffet the storms with your precious little freight, and wait with sad patience till we meet to part no more.
But, O Sarah, if the dead can come back to this earth, and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you in the garish day, and the darkest night amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours always, always, and, if the soft breeze fans your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air cools your throbbing temples, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah, do not mourn me dear; think I am gone, and wait for me, for we shall meet again.
As for my little boys, they will grow as I have done, and never know a father's love and care. Little Willie is too young to remember me long, and my blue-eyed Edgar will keep my frolics with him among the dimmest memories of his childhood. Sarah, I have unlimited confidence in your maternal care, and your development of their characters. Tell my two mothers, I call God's blessing upon them. O Sarah, I wait for you there! Come to me, and lead thither my children.

Headquarters, Camp Clark
Washington, D.C., July 14, 1861
My Very Dear Wife:
Indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days, perhaps to-morrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write a few lines, that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more.
Our movement may be one of a few days duration and full of pleasure and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will, but thine, O God be done. If it is necessary that I should fall on the battle-field for any country, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American civilization now leans upon the triumph of government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution, and I am willing, perfectly willing to lay down all my joys in this life to help maintain this government, and to pay that debt.
But, my dear wife, when I know, that with my own joys, I lay down nearly all of yours, and replace them in this life with care and sorrows, when, after having eaten for long years the bitter fruit of orphanage myself, I must offer it, as their only sustenance, to my dear little children, is it weak or dishonorable, while the banner of my purpose floats calmly and proudly in the breeze, that my unbounded love for you, my darling wife and children, should struggle in fierce, though useless, contest with my love of country.
I cannot describe to you my feelings on this calm summer night, when two thousand men are sleeping around me, many of them enjoying the last, perhaps, before that of death, and I, suspicious that Death is creeping behind me with his fatal dart, am communing with God, my country and thee.
I have sought most closely and diligently, and often in my breast, for a wrong motive in this hazarding the happiness of those I loved, and I could not find one. A pure love of my country, and of the principles I have often advocated before the people, and "the name of honor, that I love more than I fear death," have called upon me, and I have obeyed.
Sarah, my love for you is deathless. It seems to bind me with mighty cables, that nothing but Omnipotence can break; and yet, my love of country comes over me like a strong wind, and bears me irresistibly on with all those chains, to the battlefield. The memories of all the blissful moments I have spent with you come crowding over me, and I feel most deeply grateful to God and you, that I have enjoyed them so long. And how hard it is for me to give them up, and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, when, God willing, we might still have lived and loved together, and seen our boys grow up to honorable manhood around us.
I know I have but few claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me, perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar, that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, nor that, when my last breath escapes me on the battle-field, it will whisper your name.
Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless, how foolish I have oftentimes been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears, every little spot upon your happiness, and struggle with all the misfortune of this world, to shield you and my children from harm. But I cannot, I must watch you from the spirit land and hover near you, while you buffet the storms with your precious little freight, and wait with sad patience till we meet to part no more.

Union soldier Major Sullivan Bayou in a letter to his wife, Sarah, 1861

Letter to Sarah Ballou      by Sullivan Ballou
July the 14th, 1861 Washington D.C. My very dear Sarah: The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days— perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more.

Sarah, do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for me, for we shall meet again. As for my little boys, they will grow as I have done, and never know a father's love and care.

The letter that first captured the minds of the late 19th century, remains in the American psyche today and is lasting for its expressions of hope and faith in the face of violence and death. Perhaps it is this sentiment of the human experience that reaches across the centuries to bind us to our ancestors that we relate to today.
July 14, 1861. Camp Clark, Washington
My Very Dear Sarah,
The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days — perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more. Our movements may be of a few days duration and full of pleasure — and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will, but thine, O God be done. If it is necessary that I should fall on the battle field for my Country, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing — perfectly willing — to lay down all my joys in this life to help maintain this Government and to pay that debt.
But, my dear wife, when I know that with my own joys, I lay down nearly all of your’s, and replace them in this life with cares and sorrows, when after having eaten for long years the bitter fruits of orphanage myself, I must offer it as their only sustenance to my dear little children, is it weak or dishonorable, that while the banner of my forefathers floats calmly and proudly in the breeze, underneath my unbounded love for you, my darling wife and children should struggle in fierce, though useless contest with my love of Country.
I cannot describe to you my feelings on this calm Summer Sabbath night, when two thousand men are sleeping around me, many of them enjoying perhaps the last sleep before that of death while I am suspicious that Death is creeping around me with his fatal dart, as I sit communing with God, my Country and thee. I have sought most closely and diligently and often in my heart for a wrong motive in thus hazarding the happiness of those I love, and I could find none. A pure love of my Country and of the principles I have so often advocated before the people — ‘the name of honor, that I love more than I fear death,’ has called upon me, and I have obeyed.
Sarah my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables, that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind, and bears me irresistibly on with all those chains, to the battle field.
The memories of all the blissful moments I have spent with you, come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to God and you that I have enjoyed them so long. And how hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, when, God willing we might still have lived and loved together, and seen our boys grow up to honorable manhood around us. I have, I know, but few and small claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me — perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar, that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battle field, it will whisper your name.
Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless, how foolish I have often times been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears, every little spot upon your happiness, and struggle with all the misfortunes of this world to shield you, and my children from harm. But I cannot. I must watch you from the Spirit-land and hover near you, while you buffit the storm, with your precious little freight, and wait with sad patience, till we meet to part no more.
But, O Sarah! if the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladest days and the darkest nights, advised to your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours, always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath, or the cool air cools your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again.
As for my little boys — they will grow up as I have done, and never know a father’s love and care. Little Willie is too young to remember me long — and my blue eyed Edgar will keep my frolics with him among the dimmest memories of his childhood. Sarah, I have unlimited confidence in your maternal care and your development of their characters, and feel that God will bless you in your holy work.
Tell my two Mothers I call God’s blessings upon them new. O! Sarah I wait for you there; come to me, and lead thither my children.
Sullivan
Maj. Sullivan Ballou fought as a Union soldier with the 2nd Rhode Island Regiment at the First Battle of Bull Run (also known as The First Battle of Manassas).
On the eve of battle, Ballou sat in camp in Washington DC and wrote the, now famous, letter to his wife. The next day he would ride into battle and be mortally wounded when a five pound cannon ball killed his horse. He was taken to the field hospital where his leg was amputated, but had to be left behind when the northern troops were forced to retreat. He died about a week later of his leg wound as a prisoner of war.
His body would later be dug up and desecrated by Confederate troops. He was decapitated and possibly even burned “as an act of revenge,” according to Young, who says that the southern soldiers most likely “mistook his grave for that of the Colonel’s.”
His partial remains were found by a Rhode Island recovery expedition and returned by railroad with great ceremony (“tremendous crowds came and held wakes,” Young said of the train stops along the way) to Rhode Island where he would be buried for the third and final time in Swan Point Cemetery. On his grave is inscribed the last line of his letter to Sarah: “I wait for you there, come to me and lead thither my children.”

Tumblr media
This was a 90-minute special on ABC TV. It was  taped August 9 to August 12 in Los Angeles. It featured clips from show’s from television’s past.  
Tumblr media
Zenith was co-founded in 1918 by Ralph Matthews and Karl Hassel as Chicago Radio Labs. The name "Zenith" came from ZN'th, a contraction of its founders' ham radio call sign, 9ZN. The Zenith Radio Company was formally incorporated in 1923. LG Electronics acquired a controlling share of Zenith in 1995, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary in 1999. Zenith was the inventor of subscription television and the modern remote control, and the first to develop High-definition television (HDTV) in North America.
In his diaries, singer Perry Como mentions jetting to Las Vegas to appear on the show, but he is not in the cast nor is he mentioned as an honoree.
Tumblr media
The next night, Monday, September 11, on CBS, “Here’s Lucy” presented its fifth season premiere “Lucy’s Big Break” (HL S5;E1). 
Tumblr media
“Here’s Lucy’s” lead-in was the 18th season premiere of “Gunsmoke” starring James Arness.  
Tumblr media
“Gunsmoke’s” competition on NBC was “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” which that night started its sixth season with guest star John Wayne. This is very ironic, considering that this Zenith special features a promo that John Wayne did for “Gunsmoke” when it first premiered in 1955!  
Tumblr media
This was a busy night for television, with the series premiere of “The Rookies” (1972-76) on ABC.  At 10pm CBS also presented the premiere of “The New Bill Cosby Show,” which lasted just one season. 
The show begins with a boy named John Joyce (played by uncredited actors of various ages) who grew up watching television.
Tumblr media
After the opening credits, Florence Henderson performs the seven-minute opening number “How Sweet It Was,” surrounded by dancers. The original song was written by Jack Elliott, Bob Wells and John Bradford. In a section devoted to children's shows, the dancers perform “The Mickey Mouse Club” theme, dressed in mouse ears and sweaters with names on them.
Tumblr media
Robert Young (”Marcus Welby”) takes the stage to explain that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is also 25 years old and will be honoring a select group of people and programs who have made an impact, had popularity, proved longevity, and demonstrated substance. The recognition award is a silver medallion on a plaque.
A montage of clips from news footage of the Berlin Airlift, the Israeli War, the first Political Convention on TV, and the Kefauver Hearings, and the McCarthy Hearings, follows.
Tumblr media
Young pays tribute to television's early comedians with clips of such comics as Jimmy Durante, Martin and Lewis, “The Honeymooners,” and and ending with clips from “Texaco Star Theatre” starring Milton Berle wearing various outrageous costumes.Berle is the first recipient of the medallion. He enters to thank the audience and briefly talk about his type of comedy. Berle claims to have done 641 hours of live television!
Tumblr media
Berle closes by introducing a clip from “Your Show of Shows” starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca as figures on a Bavarian clock. Caesar takes the stage to thank the Academy for the medallion. His remarks are humble and brief.
Tumblr media
After a commercial for Zenith Super Chromacolor, there is a tribute to TV dramas with a montage of clips from anthology shows like “The Alcoa Hour,” “Dupont Show of the Week,” “Westinghouse Studio One,” “The U.S. Steel Hour,” “Playhouse 90,” “Hallmark Hall of Fame,” “Goodyear Playhouse,” “Producer's Showcase,” and “Net Playhouse.”  The clips feature actors like Robert Preston, Andy Griffith, Jackie Gleason, and Paul Newman.
Tumblr media
George C. Scott enters to talk about the contributions of “The Hallmark Hall of Fame.” Clips from the show feature actors like Charlton Heston, Peter Ustinov, George C. Scott, and Dame Judith Anderson, who accepts a medallion on behalf of the show.
Tumblr media
A salute to TV Westerns begins with a stylized Old West town with a handsome stranger (George Chakiris), riding into town on a white horse. Entering the saloon, he plays cards with a man in black, listens to Lily the dance hall girl, and then gets into a shoot out where (naturally) he is the only one left standing.  
Tumblr media
After the sketch, John Wayne introduces clips from westerns like “The Lone Ranger,” “Cheyenne, ” “Bonanza,” and “Gunsmoke.” James Arness, who played Marshall Dillon on “Gunsmoke,” joins Wayne onstage to receive a medallion on behalf of the show. 
Tumblr media
Lorne Greene then accepts a medallion on behalf of “Bonanza.”
A salute to TV crime dramas begins with a stylized city street with a handsome stranger (George Chakiris again), riding into town in a white sports car. The scenario deliberately mirrors the previous one for westerns. Entering the bar, he listens to Sally the burlesque dancer, and gets into a shoot out with a man in black where (naturally) he is the only one left standing. 
Tumblr media
After the sketch, Efrem Zimalist Jr. (“The F.B.I.”) introduces some ‘fast moving scenes’ from crime shows like “Hawaii Five-O” and (oddly) “Batman.” Zimbalist pays tribute to Jack Webb and the series “Dragnet.”  Accepting the medallion on behalf of Webb is Los Angeles Police Commissioner Edward M. Davis.
Tumblr media
Dave Garroway (“Today”) tells us that there are 121 recipients of the silver anniversary medallion, and that there is no way a 90-minute program can adequately pay tribute them all. Behind him is a scroll of names and clips from the honorees, including Lucille Ball and “The Desilu Playhouse.” Interestingly, for the sake of continuity, all the clips are in black and white, even if a show was aired in color.
Tumblr media
Oops! The list of honorees mis-spells “Captain Kangaroo” as “Captain Kangeroo.”
Tumblr media
The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, talk about television, although Tom has trouble not mentioning its many flaws, despite Dick's attempt to keep things positive.
Tumblr media
Harry Reasoner talks about television news and tributes Edward R. Murrow. Clips consist of Murrow interviewing such figures as Castro, Marilyn Monroe, and John F. Kennedy. Murrow died in 1965, so his brother Dewey Murrow accepts the medallion on his behalf.
Tumblr media
Leading off a tribute to music on television is presented in the style of “Your Hit Parade”:
#5 - “Shrimp Boats” sung by Eileen Wilson. It was written in 1951 by Paul Mason Howard and Paul Weston.
#3 - “(Why Did I Tell You I Was Going To) Shanghai” sung by Russell Arms. It was written in 1951 by Bob Hilliard and Milton De Lugg.
Extra - “Love is Sweeping the Country” performed by the Hit Parade Dancers. It was written by George and Ira Gershwin for the 1931 musical Of Thee I Sing.
#2 - “(How Much is That) Doggie in the Window?” sung by Giselle MacKenzie (above). It was written by Bob Merrill in 1952.
#1 - “This Ole House” sung by Snooky Lanson. It was written by Stuart Hamblen in 1954.
Curiously, there is no #4, perhaps for time limitations or because there are only four alumni of “Your Hit Parade” in the show. 
Tumblr media
Closing the section, the group sings “So Long for a While,” the closing song of “Your Hit Parade” written by Hy Zaret. 
Tumblr media
Jimmy Durante enters at the end of the sequence to tribute Music and Variety on television. It begins with a montage that features Steve Allen, Liberace, Durante, Edgar Bergen, and Dinah Shore, who is the next honoree. Dinah talks about her work on “The Chevy Show.”
Tumblr media
Dinah Shore: “We were live and our main motivation was fear!”
Shore then tributes the late Nat King Cole, and introduces Maria Cole, his widow. “The Nat King Cole Show” (1956) was the first television show starring a black man.
Tumblr media
Durante returns and sings “September Song” by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson for the 1938 musical Knickerbocker Holiday.
After a commercial, Rod Serling (“The Twilight Zone”) presents a medallion to 'Mr. Sunday Night' Ed Sullivan. Clips from “Toast of the Town” (aka “The Ed Sullivan Show”) feature Julie Andrews, the Beatles, Rocky Marciano, and President Eisenhower.
Tumblr media
When Ed Sullivan enters to accept his medallion, it is apparent that he is not on the same stage with Serling, but has been inserted into the shot using special effects. When Serling hands him the award, the camera switches to a close-up to avoid the transfer. 
Tumblr media
Serling also presents medallions to Lucille Ball and Bob Hope. A brief montage of clips from “I Love Lucy” and various Bob Hope specials follows. It includes scenes from “The Audition” (ILL S1;E6), “The Operetta” (ILL S2;E5), “Lucy Meets Harpo Marx” (ILL S4;E28). Interestingly, there are no clips of the two performing together.
Tumblr media
Once again, it is apparent that Serling is not on the same stage as Lucy and Bob, despite the fact that they address him as if he were there standing beside him. This time there is no special effect to imply they are together. Hope calls him the “spooky writer” and Lucy refers to Serling's voice on “headache commercials.” Hope and Ball exchange some friendly banter based on their age:
Lucy: “I just love watching 'The Late, Late Show'. Where else could I be 25 for 25 years?" Bob: “On your reruns. You know I'm kidding, Lucy. You're the most beautiful woman in Hollywood and you have been for many years.” Lucy: “That's quite a compliment considering you started as a stuntman for Francis X. Bushman.”
The show closes with the singers and dancers reprising “How Sweet It Was” and Robert Young returning to sum up television's progress and promise for the future. This time the clips behind him are in color. A montage of 'good nights' from various television shows plays under the credits.
This Date in Lucy History ~ September 10

“Lucy and Danny Thomas” (HL S6;E1) ~ September 10, 1974

Sometimes, the phone call is to be dreaded...
Tumblr media
Last week, I wrote a piece on a “dreaded call” to my wife and myself being a piece of cake on the drama meter. Irony made an appearance this Sunday
“The problem is you think you have time.”
Buddha
I was very pleased with my article written last week which dealt with chasing dreams and sometimes conflicting with family obligations. The piece felt like it was balanced and didn’t advocate one choice over another; putting the reader in a comfortable frame of mind to allow ample time to consider all possibilities. The author felt that sufficient time would be there to consider all options. ... then Sunday morning came and the literary allusion of a phone call I used to encourage readers to weigh choices carefully took on a more tragic literal impact. My brother called me at 9:15 Sunday in a state of emotional despair that I have never associated with him. Through sobs of deep anguish, I learned his son, my nephew, my son’s cousin, the father of his grandkids had been tragically, stolen from them and the device used to tell of the tragedy had been the phone. My title of last weeks blog was, “The Phone Call no Parent wants to Receive....Spoiler Alert: Everything was ok.” This time, in that moment ... irony spread like a shadow ... this time it was not ok.
My nephew, Matthew Paul Rich, was a 24 year old electrician married to a lovely woman with two angelic children. He was his brother’s best friend, his father’s pride and joy and his uncle’s ego builder because he laughed at ever joke I made. His children were so aware of his presence as they could feel the love and devotion he exuded toward them from every ounce of his being... how could children not be drawn like a magnet to such a charismatic man whose heart beat was his children. He was his younger sister’s “big bro” as she, like her uncle, thinks and acts like an artist and Matt got her. Matthew got everyone because he’d rather have friends than a heartache... why not, more to enjoy. He was about joy. Matthew is gone now and the joy has been absent many days. He left us early Sunday morning while all those who loved him slept peacefully...confident that he would be there in the morning, we would have all the time in the world to share with him ... until we didn’t.
Tumblr media
An opportunity would be lost if the focus of this piece was just about tragic circumstances and details and the river of tears, though it’s been five days later, still unrelentingly flows. This story is all of those things on a scale beyond imagining. “Life will go on,’ “people will adapt,’ “remember when” will be an all to often a conversation starter; but the loss of Matthew raises us to a much higher plane of thought and realization. The plane is not uncommon, for sadly such tragedies happen daily thousands of times, but it offers an exchange to make us better by losing such a person. It’s a forced introspection... a forced lesson, a dreadful exchange, one that we are reluctant to take at such a high price. I often refer to this concept in my writings, but beware, fate will bring to our doorsteps events that will give the lesson an immediacy that we ignore to our peril. What is this lesson that carries such grave importance? It is this: everything, every love, every object, every person ... will pass. There is nothing that will last, you will lose everyone you love either by their passing or yours. The power, the magic, the love, the bond exists only now. Now...
Tumblr media
We all know this intellectually, but it’s too unpleasant to contemplate; so we put consideration of this truth for later.... and we grasp not a life line but a thread of hope, based on cliche : “I got time, life is long, life is short, l have plenty of time” .... all perilous mindsets that will rob our emotional treasure like a thief in the night. During this week, for whatever reason, I was reading bits from “The Tibetan Book on Living and Dying,” to try to enlighten my oft times dense self. I came across a quote from Siddhārtha Gautama, the enlightened one, the Buddha. The Buddha said while trying to grasp the causes of man’s suffering simply said, “the problem is we think we have time.” It’s such a simple but thorough, all encompassing statement on why we suffer so often. We have no time....we have now... only this instant and it too is fleeting. The great teacher also wisely tells us (I paraphrase): focusing on the past brings regret focusing on the future brings worry, focusing on the now brings contentment. Remember, this is a lesson born of tragedy... the tragedy happened, Matthew is gone, there is only learning from it now. Matthew wants us to learn to love his loved ones and each other with an intensity of heart that he possessed . You must be thinking, “hey man, you said that Matthew was gone, how can he want us to do anything?” You can step up to the buffet line and select the theology of your choice that speaks of an eternal energy, or soul or spirit where our loved one exists. Matt exists as certainly as the breeze blows and birds sing, and if he sees we learn from this, he will smile with his toothy grin and say at a slightly elevated decibel level, “hell yeah bro!” I will reluctantly accept the exchange and make sure that the passion and energy that Matthew gave to all of us will be present in my every now....but I wouldn’t mind just one more time letting him give me a thumbs up followed by his, “my man ... my uncle Brent!”
"If you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it, for I love you so
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
If thinking on me then should make you woe."*
*William Shakespeare: “Sonnet 71;” Collected Works of Shakespeare
For you dearest Rachel:
I know I have but few claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me, perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar, that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, nor that, when my last breath escapes me on the battle-field, it will whisper your name.
Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless, how foolish I have oftentimes been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears, every little spot upon your happiness, and struggle with all the misfortune of this world, to shield you and my children from harm. But I cannot, I must watch you from the spirit land and hover near you, while you buffet the storms with your precious little freight, and wait with sad patience till we meet to part no more.
But, O Sarah, if the dead can come back to this earth, and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you in the garish day, and the darkest night amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours always, always, and, if the soft breeze fans your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air cools your throbbing temples, it shall be my spirit passing by.
Sarah, do not mourn me dear; think I am gone, and wait for me, for we shall meet again.
As for my little boys, they will grow as I have done, and never know a father's love and care. Little Willie is too young to remember me long, and my blue-eyed Edgar will keep my frolics with him among the dimmest memories of his childhood. Sarah, I have unlimited confidence in your maternal care, and your development of their characters. Tell my two mothers, I call God's blessing upon them. O Sarah, I wait for you there! Come to me, and lead thither my children.

I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty. —Edgar Allan Poe
1. “Little Tree” by e.e. cummings little tree little silent Christmas tree you are so little you are more like a flower who found you in the green forest and were you very sorry to come away? see i will comfort you because you smell so sweetly i will kiss your cool bark and hug you safe and tight just as your mother would, only don't be afraid look the spangles that sleep all the year in a dark box dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine, the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads, put up your little arms and i'll give them all to you to hold every finger shall have its ring and there won't be a single place dark or unhappy… 2. “Christmas Bells” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men! 3. “Winter Time” by Robert Louis Stevenson Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,    A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;    Blinks but an hour or two; and then,    A blood-red orange, sets again.        Before the stars have left the skies, At morning in the dark I rise;    And shivering in my nakedness,    By the cold candle, bathe and dress.        Close by the jolly fire I sit    To warm my frozen bones a bit; Or with a reindeer-sled, explore    The colder countries round the door.        When to go out, my nurse doth wrap    Me in my comforter and cap;    The cold wind burns my face, and blows Its frosty pepper up my nose.        Black are my steps on silver sod;    Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;    And tree and house, and hill and lake,    Are frosted like a wedding-cake.
4. ’Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore …And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack. His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow… 5. “Music on Christmas Morning” by Anne Brontë Music I love -­ but never strain Could kindle raptures so divine, So grief assuage, so conquer pain, And rouse this pensive heart of mine -­ As that we hear on Christmas morn, Upon the wintry breezes borne.   Though Darkness still her empire keep, And hours must pass, ere morning break; From troubled dreams, or slumbers deep, That music kindly bids us wake: It calls us, with an angel's voice, To wake, and worship, and rejoice; 6. “The House of Christmas” by G.K. Chesterton …This world is wild as an old wives' tale, And strange the plain things are, The earth is enough and the air is enough For our wonder and our war; But our rest is as far as the fire-drake swings And our peace is put in impossible things Where clashed and thundered unthinkable wings Round an incredible star. To an open house in the evening Home shall men come, To an older place than Eden And a taller town than Rome. To the end of the way of the wandering star, To the things that cannot be and that are, To the place where God was homeless And all men are at home. 7. “Before the ice is in the pools” by Emily Dickinson Before the ice is in the pools— Before the skaters go, Or any check at nightfall Is tarnished by the snow— Before the fields have finished, Before the Christmas tree, Wonder upon wonder Will arrive to me!
8. “Ring Out, Wild Bells” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (from In Memoriam) Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die… Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. 9. “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Suess …So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear. And he did hear a sound rising over the snow. It started in low. Then it started to grow. But the sound wasn't sad! Why, this sound sounded merry! It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY! He stared down at Whoville! The Grinch popped his eyes! Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise! Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, Was singing! Without any presents at all! He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same! And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?" "It came with out ribbons! It came without tags!" "It came without packages, boxes or bags!" And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store." "Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”… 10. “O Holy Night” by John Sullivan Dwight (based on the French text from Placide Cappeau’s Cantique de Noel) O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,   It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, 'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born; O night divine, O night, O night Divine…

From sitcoms to Shakespeare
Tumblr media
BY MARK BRYANT
Best known as the dapper but rather snooty Captain Peacock in the long-running BBC TV sitcom, Are You Being Served? which aired from 1972 to 1985, Frank Thornton was born in Dulwich, attended Alleyn’s School and carved out a distinguished career in theatre and film that spanned more than seven decades.
Born Frank Thornton Ball on January 15, 1921, his father William Ernest Ball was a bank clerk who was also the organist at St Stephen’s Church on College Road near Sydenham Hill Station. His mother was Rosina Mary Thornton, the daughter of Joseph Thornton, a musician.
Both of Frank’s parents lived locally. At the time of their marriage, in April 1912 (at the Emmanuel Congregational Church on Barry Road in East Dulwich), William Ball was living in Dulwich Village with his own parents at “Charnwood” – a large house on the south side of Court Lane immediately next to the entrance to Dulwich Park and opposite Eynella Road. The family had previously lived at 244 Barry Road.
Frank’s mother Rosina, a music teacher, was then living in East Dulwich with her parents at 349 Lordship Lane, on the corner of Crystal Palace Road and opposite what is now the Plough Cafe near Sainsbury’s Local and Dulwich Library.
According to the electoral rolls, in 1920, shortly before Frank was born, his parents were living at 127 Barry Road. However, in 1923, when his older brother John joined Alleyn’s School, John’s home address was given as 347 Lordship Lane, next door to his maternal grandparents.
Like his father, his two paternal uncles, his older brother John and his two younger brothers Edmund and Alan, Frank was educated at Alleyn’s, where he was a pupil from 1932-37.
Here he was a contemporary of Kenneth Spring OBE, who later became an art teacher at Alleyn’s and co-founded the National Youth Theatre; the composer and conductor John Lanchbery OBE; and the distinguished civil servant Sir Philip Woodfield.
As a child Frank described himself as “a bit of a loner, not one of the lads. I think I was probably a bit of a prig because I seem to have been stuck with this supercilious persona for as long as I can remember.”
While he was at Alleyn’s the family lived at 149a Devonshire Road in Forest Hill and then, from 1935, at 11 Zenoria Street in East Dulwich, which runs off Lordship Lane near Goose Green.
Though Frank had appeared in school performances of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado and The Yeomen of the Guard (playing cello in the orchestra), and was keen to become an actor from a young age, his father insisted that he should first get a “proper” job.
As a result, after leaving Alleyn’s he worked as a clerk for an insurance company, like his brother John, while taking evening classes in acting at the London School of Dramatic Art on Bute Street in South Kensington. After two years, he was offered a place as a full-time day student and managed to persuade his father to finance the course.
Frank was 18 when the Second World War broke out and he and his fellow students were evacuated to Oxfordshire. Shortly thereafter he landed his first professional acting job in a touring production in Ireland of Terence Rattigan’s comic play French Without Tears.
In 1941 he returned to London where he worked for the famous actor-manager Sir Donald Wolfit, who had reopened the Strand Theatre to stage lunchtime productions of abridged versions of Shakespeare plays.
In one of these, Richard III in January 1942, Wolfit played King Richard, Frank was Sir William Catesby and Eric Maxon, who was born in Balham, was Edward IV. It was while Frank was playing Bassanio in The Merchant of Venice for Wolfit that he met his future wife, the actress Beryl Evans – who had been cast as a page.
In 1942 he had a small part in John Gielgud’s acclaimed production of Macbeth at the Piccadilly Theatre. Gielgud played the starring role and also directed.
The same year Frank appeared as Corporal Wiggy Jones in the first production of Terence Rattigan’s RAF play, Flare Path, at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue. Its original cast included a number of fellow south Londoners – Catford-born Leslie Dwyer, Tooting-born George Cole and Kathleen Harrison, who had been to school in Clapham and whose father was borough engineer for Southwark.
In 1943, Frank was conscripted into the RAF and after training as a navigator, he eventually joined the Air Ministry’s Entertainment Unit.
As he later said: “At the end of the war I was redundant aircrew doing various jobs waiting to be demobbed, and I ended up in the Air Ministry Entertainment Unit which ran the RAF gang shows. I had to go round and watch all the shows, meeting all the participants...”
These included a number of airmen who later became celebrated actors and comedians, such as Peter Sellers, Tony Hancock and Dick Emery.
On June 1, 1945 Frank was promoted to the post of flying officer and got married four days later. He and Beryl had a daughter, the TV producer and curator of the Eden Valley Museum, Jane Thornton Higgs MBE.
After he was demobbed in 1947 he joined a repertory company. During the 1950s he continued to work on the stage and also began appearing in films and on television.
In November 1950 he made his TV debut in The Secret Sharer, part of the BBC drama series Sunday Night Theatre. Then in 1953 he was cast as a barman in The Silent Witness, an episode of the television series Scotland Yard, which was hosted by Edgar Lustgarten.
His first credited film role was as Inspector Finch in Radio Cab Murder (1954), starring Jimmy Hanley. He went on to appear in more than 60 films.
In November 1957 he starred as PC Cox in an episode of the BBC’s Dixon of Dock Green, written by Ted Willis, whose granddaughter, TV producer Beth Willis, went to JAGS in Dulwich. Then in January 1959 he appeared in ITV’s new swashbuckling series The Adventures of William Tell, which began in 1958 and starred Conrad Phillips as the legendary Swiss rebel.
Frank’s fellow actors in his first episode included Wilfrid Brambell, with whom he would later appear in Steptoe and Son (five episodes, 1962-65) and in the film, Steptoe and Son Ride Again in 1973.
Also in 1959 he was cast in nine episodes of the ATV drama series The Four Just Men, based on a story by Edgar Wallace, who had been at school in Peckham.
In 1961 he appeared in a number of classic television series. These included Danger Man, The Avengers, The Rag Trade and Michael Bentine’s comedy It’s a Square World, in which he was a regular cast member.
He also appeared in Hancock’s Half Hour – notably in The Blood Donor episode in 1961, but not the earlier episode The Alpine Holiday in 1957, in which Kenneth Williams played Snide, the yodelling champion of East Dulwich...
In 1964 he was cast as Commander Fairweather in the ITV comedy series HMS Paradise with Richard Caldicot, who had attended Dulwich College. It was a spin-off from BBC radio’s The Navy Lark, in which he also appeared briefly, and from 1966-68 he starred in another radio spin-off of the series, The Embassy Lark.
He also later appeared in The Goodies, Love Thy Neighbour and other comedy series as well as in shows hosted by such household names as Dick Emery, Benny Hill, Frankie Howerd, Harry Worth, Reg Varney, Tommy Cooper, Spike Milligan, Ronnie Corbett and Kenny Everett, on whose show he appeared dressed as a punk rocker.
Frank continued to be cast in films, mostly comedies, during the 1960s and 70s. These included Carry On Screaming! (his only appearance in the famous Carry On series), The Bedsitting Room (written by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus), A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (as the one-armed doorman of the Diogenes Club) and No Sex Please, We’re British, with Ronnie Corbett and Arthur Lowe.
In April 1964 he even played the part of a chauffeur in The Beatles’ film, A Hard Day’s Night, but sadly his appearance ended up on the cutting-room floor. However, he did have an uncredited role in cult film The Magic Christian (1969) which starred Peter Sellers and Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.
In addition he worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and at the age of 50 he played the part (singing) of Eeyore in a musical version of Winnie the Pooh at the Phoenix Theatre.
Ten years later in 1982 he played Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, in Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. Interviewed at the time he said: “I made my singing debut at 50, my operatic debut at 60 – and I shall look forward to dancing with the Royal Ballet at 70.”
However, despite a long and varied career, Frank will always be best remembered as Captain Stephen Peacock, the pompous floor manager of Grace Brothers’ department store in the popular BBC sitcom Are You Being Served? which in 1979 reached a peak viewing audience of 22 million.
He appeared in every episode from 1972 until 1985, starred in a 1977 film of the same name and later reprised the role in a TV sequel, Grace & Favour (1992-93). In the early episodes of Are You Being Served? he wore an Alleyn’s School tie.
While playing Captain Peacock he also took on other kinds of roles. In the 1980s these included the part of Sir John Tremayne in the hit London musical, Me and My Girl (starring Robert Lindsay) – which earned him an Olivier Award nomination – and acting with John Cleese in Jonathan Miller’s BBC television production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. He also worked with Derek Nimmo’s touring theatre company in Asia and the Middle East.
In addition Frank had small roles in Emmerdale, Casualty and Holby City, appeared as Judge Geoffrey Parker-Knoll in comedian Julian Clary’s All Rise for Julian Clary, and from 1997 until the show ended in 2010 he played the retired policeman Herbert “Truly” Truelove in Last of the Summer Wine. He also appeared as Mr Burkett in Robert Altman’s Oscar-winning period drama Gosford Park, which came out in 2001.
His last film part was in the farce, Run for Your Wife, released in 2013, in which he was one of 80 celebrities to make a cameo appearance. This also had a Dulwich connection as it was written and co-directed by Ray Cooney, who had attended Alleyn’s School.
Frank died at his home in Barnes, west London, on March 16, 2013 aged 92.
 Dr Mark Bryant lives in East Dulwich, close to many of the childhood homes of Frank Thornton and his family, in particular Underhill Road where Frank Thornton’s uncle Alfred John Ball lived shortly before Frank was born
