Have a cow…

Lovecraft had cats. Robert E. Howard had a cow…

“Yes, there was a cow. I saw the critter. Her name was Delhi, and hump shouldered to suggest Indian blood—Asian-Indian, I mean.” — E. Hoffmann Price to L. Sprague de Camp, 11th Feb 1977.

Bobby Derie snaps on the rubber gloves, and investigates in depth.

I can add that Lovecraft also had a cow. Apparently it was kept by his grandfather on the vacant lot which lay directly west of the Phillips mansion, when Lovecraft was a young boy…

… the family cow — a beloved possession reminiscent of the prehistoric Greene days ere my grandfather became an urban dweller.” (letter to Kleiner)

An important but overlooked point about Lovecraft’s time in New York was uncovered, his seeing Fritz Lang’s Siegfried in 1925, and the ‘what’ and the ‘where’ of the movie’s showing in New York was investigated. Along the way, a small but important new aspect of the career of Arthur Leeds was identified. It also led me to wonder why this event was not included in Letters from New York or I Am Providence, as the facts originate in a Lovecraft letter held at Brown University.

Other investigative posts also took me to New York City, first tracking down the locations of the Binkin bookstores from the 1970s back into the 1930s, and along the way getting more context for this aspect of the mysterious rediscovery of a horde of rare Lovecraft material in the early 1970s. Looking for Binkin on the edge of Red Hook then led me to find out about Lovecraft’s favourite bookstore in the pest-zone — Schulte’s Book Store — and to discover photos of the exterior and descriptions of the interior.

A likely inspiration for Lovecraft’s Akeley in “The Whisperer in Darkness” was suggested and investigated. I also took an illustrated plunge into The Endless Caverns with Lovecraft, and a long illustrated stroll around Lovecraft’s Roger Williams Park in Providence. The nature of the ‘Waldorf Lunch’ restaurants was also uncovered, and good photo of a Providence branch found.

Many new or forthcoming books were noted and linked, mostly scholarship and history books. But also some curiosities, such as a colourized facsimile of the Home Brew “The Lurking Fear”.

One important book, Frank Belknap Long’s memoir Howard Phillips Lovecraft: Dreamer on the Nightside, was also noted in a new affordable ebook version.

The Open Lovecraft page had about seven new additions of free scholarly works, found and linked.

A sprinkling of blog posts noted excellent art, one free font, and one graphic novel adaptation with page previews.

New arrivals of old scans were noted: the entire 1923 run of Weird Tales was linked up in a post; as was the useful Lovecraft essay “Some Backgrounds to Fairyland”; Hugh B. Cave’s book Magazines I Remember: Some Pulps, Their Editors, And What it Was Like to Write For Them was found, read and the useful bits extracted; also found was a short 1933 biography of Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright and some other similar snippets. I’d quite like to write a detailed book-length biography of Farnsworth Wright, but on calculating the likely cost it would be just too expensive to obtain all the needed materials, and even then it would probably only sell 20 copies.

I also noticed and linked some choice store discounts, a generous scholarship from S.T. Joshi in the field of Lovecraft Studies, and a major forthcoming Lovecraft auction.

And finally, I managed to get my ebook version published for my 22,000-word The Cracks of Doom: Untold Tales in Middle-earth book. This was not as easy as it sounds, as in the end I had to hand-code it in HTML in order to preserve the vital indenting of the print version. But it was useful, as the book had yet another round of close proof-reading and ten more additions exclusive to the ebook. Only one ebook copy has sold so far, and two in print (probably to the Tolkien Estate and their lawyer), but hopefully it will eventually start selling.

Charles W. Stewart

Haunted #1 (March 1963). I’d never heard of it, but thought it worth mentioning here simply for the elegant pen-work on the cover art by Charles W. Stewart…

… whose work I’m very pleased to now discover. The single-volume edition of the Gormenghast books I had read had none of these illustrations, and I’d never heard they existed. There appears to be no Collected Illustrations of Charles W. Stewart artbook, but there obviously should be. Nor does there appear to be even a Wikipedia page for him.

Anyway, the Haunted ‘zine also had non-fiction from Robert Bloch (“A Stake in the Future”) which another source suggests may possibly have been on how the movies were modernising vampirism (rather than some futurist sci-fi nostrums). Plus Samuel D. Russell on H.P. Lovecraft. It doesn’t appear to be on Archive.org or the fanzine archives yet.

Exhibition: Masters of the Fantastic

Launched with a opening party last night, the large new “Masters of the Fantastic” show at the Society of Illustrators galleries in New York City….

“an exhibition of more than 100 examples of the genre’s finest artistic works. MASTERS OF THE FANTASIC encompasses a full range of otherworldly images—from dragons, specters and demons, to the far reaches of deep space—in the form of paintings, drawings and sculpture”

The show runs until 8th June 2019. Originals, not prints, if Michael Whelan sending paintings such as his major ‘Hari Seldon’ painting (the Asimov Foundation trilogy cover) is anything to go by.

New Book: Double-bill Terrors

A new book from McFarland, just published, is “Twice the Thrills! Twice the Chills!” Horror and Science Fiction Double Features, 1955–1974. The cover is too violent for a free blog on WordPress.com, but the Contents show that it’s a comprehensive survey that steps through the double-bills in chronological order. A sample from 1967…

1967

Prehistoric Women & The Devil’s Own
The Projected Man & Island of Terror
Frankenstein Created Woman & The Mummy’s Shroud
Bloody Pit of Horror & Terror-Creatures from the Grave
They Came from Beyond Space & The Terrornauts
It! & The Frozen Dead

$60 takes you on the guided tour through the schlock. I’m guessing that after the 1940s about six or seven of them have to be worth seeing.

Friday picture postals from Lovecraft: Schulte’s Book Store

29 Friday Mar 2019

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Historical context, Picture postals

≈ Leave a comment

Schulte’s Book Store was at 80 – 82 Fourth Avenue on ‘Booksellers’ Row’ in New York City. Here is Lovecraft writing home, about being unable to resist bagging a 10 cent collection from the store, despite his growing poverty…

“[…] Here I’ll have to admit a fall from grace so far as non-purchasing is concern’d, for a great volume of Bulwer-Lytton, with most of the weird novels complete — Zanoni, A Strange Story, and The House and the Brain — for only ten cents, proved a fatal bait; and I departed from the Schulte Emporium with less in my pocket and more in my hand. But only a dime, remember!” — from a Lovecraft letter of 20th May 1925.

The store was on a ‘Booksellers’ Row’ in the city. That name was first applied to the old Bookseller’s Row, near “St. Clement’s Dane Church in the Strand”, reportedly pulled down in 1903 at which time the New York Observer report it… “is now a mass of fallen and misshapen walls in process of removal, the lime-laden dust pervading the historic atmosphere.” Fourth Avenue then appears to have become the new ‘Booksellers’ Row’ perhaps circa 1911 and was a New York fixture until the 1960s, with a few stores hanging on into the 1970s. Ephemeral New York has a good short article on “Fourth Avenue’s Book Row”.

Schulte’s is seen at the lower end of the above map and was run by Theo Schulte, and from 1925 also by his new business partner Philip Pesky. They had a crowd of bookish boy assistants, and shipping packers in the packing room, all eager to learn the trade. It was the sort of place where Binkin, later to buy a huge Lovecraft collection and hence recall that Lovecraft had once patronised his book store, might have started off in the trade — and thus seen Lovecraft’s face on a regular basis in the 1920s.

By 1938 the store’s magazine adverts had it that the store… “invites you to browse among their interesting stock of over 500,000 used books.” (Saturday Review of Literature). A 1939 Harper’s Bazaar profile had it that the store was located “in about the most Victorian section of New York”. It was also well known that Schulte was always willing to buy good books that one had finished with.

There’s no interior photography that I can find online, but there are two evocative passages that describe the interior experience of the store as it would have been had by Lovecraft and his circle…

“Schulte was the eminence grise of the book trade … His shop at 80 [and 82] Fourth Avenue was legendary. Like the other bookstores, it had a large sidewalk stock out front, where you can choose for your pennies, tomes in old—fashioned binding and printing. But inside, behind front windows that proclaimed it LARGEST SECOND HAND BOOKSTORE IN NY, it was uniquely impressive with a huge main floor, tall balconies, and a cavernous basement. It was also well stocked. “Inside,” according to Guido Bruno’s Adventures, “are shelves laden with books in delightful disorder left by the book-hunter who looked through them before you. So large was the place that the staff could not keep up with all the action: shoppers were responsible for switching on and off the bare bulbs that lighted the alcoves and labyrinthine paths of the store.” (from Thieves of Book Row: New York’s Most Notorious Rare Book Ring).

By the 1960s it had less books than the 500,000 of its heyday, and Mr. Schulte had passed on in 1950…

“Surveying its barn-like main floor, its basement and three-sided balcony, an awestruck customer called Schulte’s “a great amphitheater” in which there seemed to sit “arranged all the books that were ever penned.” When I visited it, every stair step and nearly every floor board in the place creaked with nearly every footfall, but there were 140,000 books on its shelves, and, if a person could not find what he wanted, there were these lines to reassure him: “The Mounties always get their crook! And Schulte’s always get their book,” in proud, if flawed, poesy. If there wasn’t enough on the main floor, it was upstairs to Asia, Africa and Religion, two land masses leading on to infinity — up there amid pipes and low-hanging bare light bulbs, which customers turned on and off as they moved from section to section. Tables were heaped with books in stacks running thirty high and, if you saw a title that looked tempting near the base of a stack, it was quite a trick to slip it out without spilling a tower of books.” (from McCandlish Phillips, City Notebook).

Incidentally, amazingly it was Lovecraft who in 1922 had introduced the New York native Frank Belknap Long to the second-hand bookshops of New York. Not the other way around.

Weird Tales for April 1926

28 Thursday Mar 2019

Seemingly new on Archive.org today, a reasonable but slightly contrast-heavy scan of Weird Tales for April 1926. “Wolfshead” by R.E. Howard, followed by “The Outsider” by H.P. Lovecraft. I like the header illustration on the Lovecraft story, although it’s a huge ‘spoiler’ for the ending.

Lovecraft at the Waldorf

28 Thursday Mar 2019

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Historical context, New books

≈ Leave a comment

To be published at the start of April, the new 144-page local history book Lost Restaurants of Providence…

Not all of the eateries are from the Lovecraft period, but the book’s back cover blurb claims that…

“Harry Houdini supped at midnight with H.P. Lovecraft at the Waldorf Lunch”.

The new book has apparently been written by an assiduous expert on this aspect of Providence’s local history. The Waldorf Lunch chain gets two pages.

Lovecraft certainly mentioned the Waldorf Lunch a couple of times, once locally as a feed station on coming back from Pawtucket in the 1920s. Cook mentioned that when Lovecraft came back half-dead from Quebec in 1932, Cook immediately took him to a local Waldorf for an emergency meal. Despite the ‘Lunch’ name the chain’s restaurants were open 24 hours a day. Lovecraft later comments on the chain opening their first branch in New York circa 1933, although the business histories suggest they were there a few years earlier.

A Waldorf Lunch in Providence.

The photo seen above is likely to be a Westminster Street branch of the Waldorf Lunch Co. (because the 1915 Providence House Directory has an ad for the Robert L. Walker Co. in real estate etc at 171 Westminster Street, Providence. The New National Real Estate Journal has Walker still at that address in 1944).

It seems there were however multiple Waldorf Lunch branches on the long Westminster Street, possibly four according to a 1917 city inspection report. These Westminster Street branches were only a short walk from the Providence Opera House (115 Dorrance Street at Pine Street) where Houdini performed, so the branch shown above (or a very similar branch) was likely the one recalled by Eddy’s wife in her rather unreliable memoir The Gentleman From Angell Street. Here she recalls Lovecraft and Houdini at a Providence Waldorf…

“when Houdini played Providence for the last time Lovecraft went with her and her husband, making up a little “theatre party.” After the show Houdini took the group “to lunch at a Waldorf restaurant” around midnight. Beatrice, the wife of the famed performer, sat at table with her pet parrot, Lori, “perched demurely on her shoulder.” Mrs. Eddy writes that HPL “got quite a kick” watching the bird “sip tea from a spoon and nibble daintily at toast held” by Beatrice. She adds that Lovecraft “ordered half a cantaloupe filled with vanilla ice cream, and a cup of coffee.” “He [Lovecraft] was in great spirits and bubbled over with good humor, talking a blue streak about everything under the sun.” All this, Mrs. Eddy writes, while “Harry Houdini gazed at him admiringly.” (from Lovecraft at 125)

Chris Perridas dates this to 20th September 1925 and lightly grills the memories in “Testimony of Muriel Eddy (1961) Part 5”, but finds no reason to doubt the various core facts. The ‘midnight’ is not a disqualifier, as they were open 24 hours.

As one can see below, the local newspaper also has Houdini in Providence in late November of 1925? A return loop on the Fall 1925 tour? But the newspaper ad clearly states “Only appearance in Providence this year”?

The New Houdini Timeline also has him playing Providence in “Sept. ? 1924” and 4th-10th October 1926, though only part of the Timeline is online. Joshi also says October, and that Houdini then commissioned a ‘rush’ article on astrology from Lovecraft. One presumes they must have met in person in Providence for that.

Perhaps Muriel Eddy’s memory that the Waldorf after-show party was when Houdini “played Providence for the last time” means that the event was actually after the first-night opening, the 4th October 1926? Not 1925? Presumably the Houdini scholars have the tour dates and detailed biographies that could sort this tangle out (Sept 1925 or Oct 1926? / Sept 1925 or Nov 1925?), but I don’t have access to the relevant materials.

One wonders if the Lost Restaurants of Providence book will also have any names of the cheaper backstreet cafes that Lovecraft might have frequented in his growing poverty in the 1930s? The letters to Morton names two of these to which visiting friends could be taken, “Al’s lunch”, and “Jake’s” (Jacques according to Ken Faig, who has discovered it was on the riverfront). Jake or Jacques had been discovered by Lovecraft in 1926, but by 1933 was allowing “extremes in the matter of clientele” according to Lovecraft. This change pushed Lovecraft over to patronise Al’s instead. This which was “Al’s Lunch (Alphonse Scatto) 99 N Main, Providence”. Judging by its location Al’s was likely a cheap student cafe serving the RISD students at the height of the Great Depression. There would also have been cafes unfit to take visitors to, where Lovecraft would have had a meal alone, most likely down on the docks for sailors and near the long-distance passenger ferry terminals. His aunt once complained to a friend that he ate ‘all over’ the city, and at all hours of the day and night.

From Howard to Barlow

Lovecraft and Fritz Lang’s Siegfried

27 Wednesday Mar 2019

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Films & trailers, Historical context

≈ 1 Comment

On Archive.org, the Lovecraft rave-fave movie Fritz Lang’s Siegfried (1924 Germany, 1925 USA), released in America in New York on 23rd August 1925. Kirk’s Diary confirms it was playing at the Century.

Lovecraft wrote in a letter dated 12th September 1925 that he had seen this epic new movie and that it was for him…

“a stupendous spectacle [of] the scattered myths of the Nibelung ring from the early Volsung Saga to the Wagnerian […] it was an ecstasy & a delight to be remembered forever!”

Though far from being any great appreciator of the type of music involved, Lovecraft felt emotionally and creatively stirred by the bass, writing that…

“The musick, too, was of ineffable inspiration. […] Nothing had so inspired me in weeks, & I believe a masterful daemon-tale[1] could be founded upon the sinister bass musick from “Reingold” (played when Siegfried overpowers the King of the Niebelungs & seizes their treasure) alone.”

According to the historians the main (perhaps only) New York cinema showing Siegfried had apparently specially equipped itself with advanced audio equipment, so as to project the fine subtleties of the music. Thus Lovecraft may have been physically as well as emotionally stirred by the bass notes.

Curiously, Siegfried does not appear to be mentioned in the Letters from New York volume during the letters for the fall/autumn of 1925. Nor is it in the index. Instead we only learn there that Lovecraft saw the new movie of The Phantom of the Opera during that month. This rather significant omission is interesting in itself, as it seems to confirm that Letters from New York is not to be understood to be the definitive autobiographical account from Lovecraft of his New York years.

The de Camp Lovecraft biography has it that… “Arthur Leeds treated Lovecraft to a showing of the silent German motion picture Siegfried”. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the impoverished Leeds was flush with cash at this point, as his long-standing movie industry connections (12 years before he had been Editor of Scripts at the major Edison studio, located in the Bronx) may have gained him free tickets in exchange for a trade press review. He was also a great appreciator of recorded music and had been a columnist on The Music Trades magazine in the early 1920s, and may have continued in this line into the mid 1920s.

Or perhaps Leeds had just cashed the payment from Farnsworth Wright for his story “Return of the Undead” (Weird Tales, November 1925). The letter writers of ‘The Eyrie’ later stated… “I nominate it as the weirdest of weird tales” and it was “closely pressed for first honors” [in that issue], so he might have been feeling quite pleased at his future prospects. Thus Leeds might have felt he was ‘in’ with Weird Tales, and that income might soon be flowing from there.

Thus, either way, the tickets. Lucky Lovecraft.

de Camp also offers a quote from Lovecraft’s 12th September 1925 letter on Siegfried, in which Lovecraft does seem to imply that Wagner’s music gave him some genuine inkling of the emotional texture of the ancient Northern spirit…

“It was the very inmost soul of the immortal & unconquerable blond Nordic, embodied in the shining warrior of light, great Siegfried, slayer of monsters and enslaver of kings…. The musick, too, was of ineffable inspiration. Insensible as I am to musick in general, I cannot escape the magic of Wagner, whose genius caught the deepest spirit of those ancestral yellow-bearded gods of war & dominion before whom my own soul bows as before no others — Wooden, Thor, Freyr, & the vast Alfadur — frosty blue-eyed giants worthy of the adoration of a conquering people!”

Piecing together fragments of movie history available on Google Books, one can determine that the 1925 USA version of the movie was “shortened for export”[2] at “about 9,000 feet” from 10,500 feet.[3]. Which might equate to perhaps 12 to 15 minutes of cuts, assuming a highly professional New York hand-cranking projectionist who didn’t just ‘crank it through’ at 1.5x speed. One assumes the requirements of the music speed restrained his hand from fast-cranking. Some “scenes unflattering to the hero” were apparently cut. Possibly of drunkenness, re: prohibition in the USA. There’s no mention that the German inter-titles were translated to English for the USA version, or that some sort of voice-over or live stage speaker read out the inter-titles in English.

There were two movies, the first being Siegfried. The later one doesn’t seem to have had any substantial release in the USA in the 1920s or 30s. It had one gala screening in New York, it seems, and then it went onto what the history books vaguely call the ‘Art House’ circuit for a limited run. Lovecraft was back in Providence at that point, and so far as I know there was no ‘Art House’ cinema in Providence in the 1930s. Perhaps there was one in rarefied Boston? Or possibly he might have seen it on one of his summer travels to other cities, but at that time he most likely lacked the cash to see such a long and niche movie. And if he had seen ‘part two’, then he would surely have mentioned it in a letter.

An HD restoration of Siegfried was released as Die Nibelungen on Blu-ray and DVD in 2012, presumably with the footage missing from the American release that Lovecraft saw. It has the first and second movie and also includes a 70 minute “The Legacy of Die Nibelungen” documentary on the restoration work, and English subtitles for the German inter-titles. I don’t like the digitally-applied heavy gold tinting throughout, and you may want to use a video player that can apply a greyscale or partial-desaturation filter in real-time.


Siegfried is also of interest because J.R.R. Tolkien is somewhat likely to have seen it. While his imagination was already well infused with such Northern materials in their most potent linguistic forms, in the early years of his professional career he might have taken the time to travel from Leeds to view a major work such as Siegfried. Perhaps even taken his students to see it. It appears to have played the UK in the spring and summer of 1924.


Footnotes

1. [↑] A possible inspiration ‘seed’ for the penetrating dream-sonics in the first part of “The Call of Cthulhu”? Although Lovecraft had written out the basic plot for “The Call of Cthulhu” a month earlier (“a new story plot — perhaps a short novel”). But we don’t know when the idea of the dream-sonics arose, which in the published story appear in passages such as… “from some undetermined point below had come a voice that was not a voice; a chaotic sensation which only fancy could transmute into sound … a subterrene voice or intelligence shouting monotonously in enigmatical sense-impacts”. That reads kind of like what opera sounds like, to me.
