In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. <br /> <br /> Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely took this picture in his stint on the east coast. We find no other record of this specific portrait of Marlowe.

She attempts to manipulate the stock market in an attempt to ruin the man who shot her father; having succeeded and added substantially to her wealth she desires to satisfy her maternal urge through the means of artificial insemination noting "the individual doesn't count. It's on the race that's important. I'm willing to pay the man well if I can be sure he's American-born of Anglo-Saxon origin. And of course physically and mentally sound" pp.233-234. An early fictional treatment of a controversial topic; the first reports on human artificial insemination originated from Guttmacher 1943 Stoughton 1948 and Kohlberg 1953 cf.
