High Noon or Brilliant Sunset: Northeastern PA During the Jazz Age
At the Dietrich Theater in downtown Tunkhannock
Wednesday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m.
Presented by: Dr. Sheldon Spear
Admission: Free
During this presentation, Dr. Sheldon Spear will explore northeastern Pennsylvania history during the 1920s. This decade, often referred to as the Jazz Age for the period's popular music, was an exciting time. On the one hand, northeastern PA enjoyed full employment, increased recreational and entertainment opportunities, a housing boom and a substantial improvement in infrastructure. National figures, such as Babe Ruth and Charles A. Lindbergh, visited the area, while local leaders, such as Daniel L. Hart and John J. Casey, provided political fanfare. Still, the progress and happiness of the time found itself pitted against persistent poverty, poor health and a class structure based on inequality. Above all, the unmistakable decline of the regional anthracite-based economy was a harbinger of future disaster. Dr. Spear will discuss these topics and more. Call 570-996-1500 for tickets or more information.

Less than half a year before President Kennedy would be gunned down on the streets of Dallas he gave a speech to the western victims of that wall. The Soviets at the time were determined to punish and isolate the western part of the city. But America and the West Berliners gave the Soviets a lesson in courage – they stood tall and remained free and eventually became a thriving western city. But had America not been determined, had the young President not stood tall with them, then who’s to know how that dark episode of the Cold War would have ended?

It is at the wall, in the shadows of those who died making a run for freedom, that President Kennedy stood in front of tens of thousands of Berliners and declared that the world stood with them, America stood with them and that he, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy stood with them. “I am a Berliner,” he said in German and the crowd went wild. The roar of approval and gratitude and hope echoes through the corridors of time today for all oppressed people everywhere.

These wonderful black and white photographs take you right back to the cold war and the fear that at any time it could turn hot. They take you back to a time when this utterly dazzling Irishman with a heavy Boston accent strode across the world stage and humanity held its collective breath.

What frightening times, what exhilarating times, what memories those pictures evoke. And for all their power, the emotion those photos brought forth in me is a sense of incredible pride and unremitting melancholy. For in just a few short months this larger-than-life man would be crumbled in the back seat of the convertible driving slowly through the streets of Dallas. The youth, the beauty, the possibilities of John F. Kennedy would be gone, with an eternal flame marking what was, weeping for what might have been.

If you were an adult at the time of the Kennedy presidency, do come see the exhibit. It acts as a time machine on minds that, like the president and “Cholly” Hayes, were young and strong and had all their dreams stretching into infinity. You’ll love it!

And speaking of history, on November 10^th Dr. Katherine Faull of Bucknell University will be lecturing on Tunkhannock’s Cultural Heritage .As it says in the brochure, “attendees will learn about Tunkhannock’s historical and cultural place on the

It is sponsored by the PA Humanities Council and therefore won’t cost you a dime. And it will be soooo interesting.

And don’t forget on Nov. 13^th, the second in our Classic Films series, To Catch A Thief, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelley. (Were two more beautiful people ever born????) This magnificent Alfred Hitchcock film is about a reformed jewel thief who, when suspected of returning to his life of sophisticated thievery, decides to prove his innocence by finding the real thief. This is a film so elegant, so gorgeous, with such hauntingly beautiful stars, so witty, so charming and so fun, that if you’ve never seen it on the big screen be sure to see it now. And if you have, come see it again. It’s a fabulous movie. You’ll enjoy, enjoy. I promise.

See you at the Dietrich.

At The Dietrich by Hildy Morgan What a great week in store for lovers of cultural activities. You know, it is so astonishing all the activities and lectures and classes that our cultural folks put on. There is such a wide breadth and scope to what they do. And this week is no exception. This week in the as-yet-unnamed-gallery across from the William Knight Daniels Children’s Room, there is the most incredible display of history. A man by the name of “Cholly” Hayes was a young Army photographer who was tasked with accompanying President John F. Kennedy to Berlin. It would be a life-changing experience as he took picture after picture of the Commander-In-Chief speaking to the people of the tragically divided city. Less than half a year before President Kennedy would be gunned down on the streets of Dallas he gave a speech to the western victims of that wall. The Soviets at the time were determined to punish and isolate the western part of the city. But America and the West Berliners gave the Soviets a lesson in courage – they stood tall and remained free and eventually became a thriving western city. But had America not been determined, had the young President not stood tall with them, then who’s to know how that dark episode of the Cold War would have ended?

You will have an opportunity to see them together on the big screen at the Dietrich on Wednesday, November 13 at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. in To Catch a Thief. This 1955 film is about a reformed jewel thief who when suspected of returning to his former occupation must determine who the real thief is in order to prove his innocence. I recently asked Hildy Morgan, the Dietrich’s film booker, why she chose to show this Alfred Hitchcock film as part of the Dietrich’s Classic Movie Series and she said that besides being an example of a caper film and the fact that To Catch a Thief is so much fun, she thinks that Cary Grant and Grace Kelly together epitomize shear elegance and were at the height of their sophistication when it was filmed. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at www.dietrichtheater.com or at the Dietrich ticket booth. We hope to see you there! On Wednesday, November 13, the Dietrich will also be presenting a local history lecture with Dr. Sheldon Spear. During this talk, Dr. Spear will explore regional history during the Jazz Age, the 1920s. He will discuss local politicians, the area’s full employment, entertainment opportunities, the housing boom, and national figures that visited the area. He will also cover the persistent poverty, poor health and a class structure based on inequality that plagued northeastern Pennsylvania. The presentation starts at 7:00 p.m. and admission is free. Dr. Spear has been bringing interesting local history talks to our patrons for several years covering politics, coalmining, the Civil War and more. I can’t wait to hear what he has to say about the area during the 1920s. The Dietrich will also host a history presentation with Dr. Katherine Faull on Sunday, November 10 at 3:00 p.m. During this presentation, Dr. Faull will share her research on the cultural history of Tunkhannock. Attendees will learn about Tunkhannock’s historical and cultural place on the Susquehanna and how it compares to other locales along the north branch of the river. She will also ask audience members how that would like to tell the story of Tunkhannock as part of the river’s heritage. This event has been sponsored by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and admission is free. Tickets are available by calling 570-996-1500 or at the door while they last. The Dietrich will also be bringing back naturalist Rick Koval this month for his presentation "Winter – How Nature Readies for the Worst!" On Saturday, November 16 at 11:00 a.m., he will share with us how plants and animals prepare for the blustery winters of northeastern Pennsylvania. Audience members will learn why leaves turn brilliant colors in fall while evergreens remain green; why certain animals hibernate and other fight the cold, and about the miracle of migration. Admission is free. Call the Dietrich at 570-996-1500 for reservations.
