Tells "the origin of the Jenny Lind concerts": "In 1920 the year of the 100th anniversary of Jenny Lind's birth the St. Eric Society of New York. wanted to honor the memory of the great singer in some way. it was decided the celebration should take the form of a reproduction of the first Jenny Lind concert given in America which as you know was held in Castle Garden in 1850. The President and also members of the committee of the society approached Miss Hempel on the subject of appearing in the role of the beloved Jenny Lind. Miss Hempel after considering the matter an entire summer finally consented and spent many weeks reading and studying for the novel role. The concert eventually took place at Carnegie Hall October 6th 1920. The success of the performance was unprecedented." With original envelope. unknown

Braddock, James J; Max Baer; James "Red" Burman; Sixto Escobar; Bob Pastor
American Boxing Champions Signed Photograph Collection.
c. 1937. Collection of six original photographs signed and inscribed by five 1930s American boxing champions including: "Cinderella Man" James J.Braddock World Heavyweight Champion Max Baer James 'Red' Burman Sixto Escobar and top-ranked heavyweight Bob Pastor. In near fine condition. An exceptional collection. Because of the suffering American economy in the midst of the Great Depression many boxers in the 1930s were offered extremely low wages resulting in a group of boxers working solely to pursue their passion for their sport. At the same time boxing was expanding in Latin America where Sixto Escobar became the first world champion from Puerto Rico by defeating Baby Casanova who had also been crowned at the start of the decade. One of the era's most recognized boxers James J. Braddock gained a reputation for his spoiling counterpunching style powerful right hand and his iron chin. In 1935 Braddock fought Max Baer for the heavyweight title and won. For this unlikely feat he was given the nickname "Cinderella Man" by his biographer Damon Runyon. unknown
