Lewis H. Redner was born on 15 December 1831 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Lewis H. died on 29 August 1908 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.- After graduating from school, Gustave Eiffel first studied chemistry at the École des Arts et Manufactures in Paris. The internship period in an ironworks sparked Eiffel's interest in civil engineering. After his studies, he founded a company that specialized in iron structures. Eiffel made a name for himself as a designer and was able to realize numerous projects such as the construction of bridges and domes. For the Paris World Exhibition in 1889, he constructed the Eiffel Tower, which was then named after him and served as the entrance to the French pavilion, based on a design by M. Koechlin. The later symbol of the French capital made it world famous.
To build the tower, Eiffel was able to draw on his extensive experience in bridge construction. The Eiffel Tower was constructed as a steel frame structure with prefabricated elements; the construction time was 16 months. The construction method with its maximum wind permeability allowed a then sensational height of over 300 meters; This made the Eiffel Tower the world's tallest building. The structure was hailed as a groundbreaking advance in construction technology. Beginning in 1890, Eiffel conducted aerodynamic experiments on the tower's platform. Eiffel also constructed the iron skeleton for the Statue of Liberty in New York.
His other monumental buildings include the largest bridge in the world at the time, the Garhabit Viaduct, the dome of the observatory in Nice and the huge locks of the Panama Canal.

- Character actor S.S. Simon--not to be confused with director S. Sylvan Simon, who occasionally went by the name S.S. Simon--was born in Sacramento, CA, in 1864. His parents were vaudeville actors, and as a child they used him in their act on a cross-country tour. As a teenager he left vaudeville and joined a circus and later joined the troupe of well-known actors Lawrence Barrett and Edwin Booth.
He left acting in the 1890s and enrolled in the Colorado School of Mines, where he learned the finer points of prospecting for oil. Upon leaving the school he headed for Death Valley, CA, to try his hand at oil prospecting. He hit a gusher there, and continued that winning streak at other sites throughout the state. When the oil boom hit Kern County (CA), he set up several oil companies to prospect there, and hit even more gushers.
When he turned 40 he sold his mine for $2 million, and spent the next year traveling around the world with his wife. Upon his return to the US, however, he discovered that the Taft administration had come to the conclusion that smaller oil companies hadn't been developing their holdings quickly enough, and canceled their oil leases. The government paid him for what he lost, but it wasn't anywhere near what he would have made if his leases hadn't been canceled. He embarked on another prospecting expedition, but this time with no luck. When he decided that Monterey County, CA, was the site where the next big oil strike would be made, he spent most of his money buying and developing fields there, but nothing panned out. He sold his businesses--including a cannery, a fleet of fishing boats and some factories--to raise money for the big strike he knew would come, but it never happened. By the mid-'20s he was flat broke.
Down but not out, he returned to an industry where he thought he could make at least enough money to survive on--Hollywood. He started getting jobs in "B" pictures--including a lot of westerns--as a bartender, townsman, homesteader and the like. In 1934 he appears to have landed a contract with Columbia, and appeared in many of their films.
He died in April of 1940 in Hollywood. - Actor

- Tall and elegant, with harmonious features, a proud look and brown curly hair, Nelly Cormon was a French theater actress of classic beauty who was very successful on stage for three decades and had a brief but honorable career in silent films at the time when cinema was beginning to become more artistic, not just a fairground art. Born in the center of France to a teacher and his wife on 15-12-1977, young Nelly studied music and drama at the Conservatoire from a young age and left it a prize in hand. In the wake of it, she started performing and soon landed important roles in major theaters (the Gymnase, the Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt, the Théâtre des Arts, the Théâtre Fémina) as well as on tour in Lisbon, London, Nancy, Brussels and other towns. Among the plays she graced with her presence can be counted "Pour la Couronne" (François Coppée), "Samson" (Henry Bernstein), "Le Maître de forges" (Georges Ohnet), "Le Retour de Jerusalem", "La Barricade, "Le Réveil", "Mademoiselle Josette, ma femme", "L'Homme enchaîné", "Napoléon IV"... Cinema also occupied her for a while (from 1910 to 1918) when she starred in two dozens quality films for the Film d'Art company. On several occasions a historical figure (Madame de La Bédoyer, Marion Delorme, Joséphine de Beauharnais, Madame Récamier), she showed the extent of her talent by being in turns the evil Milady de Winter in Calmettes and Pouctal's "Les Trois mousquetaires" (1912) and the truthful Mercedes, Edmond Dantes' fiancée, in "Le Comte de Monte Cristo", also directed by Henri Pouctal, also adapted from Alexandre Dumas (1915). But after a new interpretation of the courtesan Marion Delorme in 1918, the cinema parenthesis closed, probably at the end of her contract, and Nelly Cormon's reappearance in "Madame Récamier" ten years later remained without follow-up. The actress naturally went on with her successful theater career until she retired by the end of the 1920s. Curiously, from then on, all track of her is lost. Nobody knows yet where she lived and died despite serious research on the subject. A mystery probably due to the destruction of the municipal archives of the place where she lived. Whatever the case may be, Nelly Cormon will be remembered as an actress who featured greatly during the first quarter of the twentieth century.

Georg af Klercker in Kristianstad, was a Swedish director, screenwriter and actor. He was originally a military lieutenant at the Svea Life Guards, but resigned in 1907 because he was more interested in the world of theater. After a brief period with a touring company he was hired as an actor by the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. In 1911 he became the studio manager at Svenska Bio. In 1912 the French screenwriter and director Paul Garbagni was in Sweden shooting The Springtime of Life (I lifvets vår). What distinguishes this film is that the male leads were played by Victor Sjöström, Mauritz Stiller and Georg af Klercker, the three filmmakers who a few years later would form the backbone of the phenomenon known as the Golden Age of Swedish cinema. Georg af Klercker made his first feature film the same year and had his first hit with the short "Dödsritten under cirkuskupolen/ The Last Performance". He was at the height of his career as a director between 1915 and 1917. In 1916 alone he made 14 films, a workload that probably contributed to the nervous breakdown he had at the end of that year. The next year he confined himself to a 'mere' 9 films, ending his career as a director in 1918. After some time, he returned to the theater as an actor, moved to Malmö where he died in 1951.- Mario Casaleggio was born on 15 December 1877 in Turin, Italy.

James Maxwell Anderson was born in Atlantic, Pennsylvania, on December 15, 1888 to William Lincoln Anderson and Charlotte Perrimela (Stephenson) Anderson. The second child born to the couple, Anderson spent his formative years on his maternal grandmother's farm in Atlantic before the family moved to Andover, Ohio when he was three years old. His father attended a seminary at night to study for the ministry while he supported the family as a railroad fireman.
His father took up the life of a traveling minister, moving his family frequently until Anderson was in his late teens. Anderson attended schools in Ohio, Iowa, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. The Anderson family's life was a vagabond one until they settled in Jamestown, North Dakota in 1907.
After graduating from Jamestown High School, Anderson went to the University of North Dakota in 1908. He worked his way through college as a waiter and serving on the night copy desk of the newspaper "The Grand Forks Herald." He was a member of the literary society Ad Altiora at UND and helped put together the "Dacotah" Annual. He also participated in college theatrics, serving as assistant director for the Sock and Buskin Dramatic Society.
Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature in June 1911, Anderson married his UND classmate Margaret Haskett, a farmer's daughter, on August 1, 1911. They eventually had three sons, Quentin, Alan, and Terence.
His first job after college was serving as the principal of the Minnewaukan, North Dakota high school, where he doubled as an English teacher. After making pacifist comments to his students, his contract was not renewed, and he moved to Palo Alto, California, where he enrolled in a master's program in English Lit at Stanford University. After graduating from Stanford in 1914, he spent three years as a high school English teacher in San Francisco before accepting an offer to become chairman of Whittier College's English Department in 1917. Once again he got in trouble with his pro-pacifist statements, and he was fired after his first year for speaking out publicly on behalf of a student seeking conscientious objector status during World War I.
Moving back to San Francisco, he worked as a journalist on the "San Francisco Chronicle" and the "San Francisco Bulletin," then moved to New York City to take an editorial position on the liberal periodical "The New Republic." He continued his work as a newspaperman, becoming a stringer for the "New York Globe" and the New York World." He also found time to help launch the poetry magazine "Measure."
Turning his interest to the theater, he wrote his first play in 1923. Written in verse, "White Desert" was a flop, lasting only 12 performances, but it attracted the attention of "New York World" critic Laurence Stallings. Stallings chose Maxwell as his collaborator on his World War One play "What Price Glory?" Opening on September 3, 1924, the play was one of the stage sensations of the decade, earning kudos and running for 430 performances. The financial rewards of helping create such a big boffo box office blockbuster enabled Anderson to retire from journalism and become a full-time dramatist.
Many of his plays were written in verse, and they typically touch on social and moral problems, such as "Winterset" (1935), which addressed the Sacco & Vanzetti trials in fictional form. The play, which won the first New York Critics Circle Award, is about a gangster who visits the children of the anarchists executed for the murder he himself committed. Anderson won the 1933 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his play "Both Your Houses," and repeated as the New York Critics Circle Award winner for "High Tor" in 1936. He wrote many historical dramas and two librettos for Kurt Weill, "Knickerbocker Holiday" (1938) and "Lost in the Stars" (1940). He was also a lyricist, his most famous creation being "September Song" from "Knickerbocker Holiday."
His plays included "Elizabeth the Queen" (1930), "Mary of Scotland " (1933), "Key Largo" (1939); "Truckline Café" (1945), "Joan of Lorraine" (1946), "Anne of the Thousand Days" (1947), and "The Bad Seed" (1954). Anderson also worked on numerous screenplays, including All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), for which he received an Academy Award nomination, Washington Merry-Go-Round (1932), Rain (1932) , Death Takes a Holiday (1934), and So Red the Rose (1935).
Plays of his that were turned into movies were "Mary of Scotland (1936), "Saturday's Children," which was filmed three times (once as "Maybe It's Love"), Winterset (1936), "Elizabeth the Queen", which became The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), The Eve of St. Mark (1944), Knickerbocker Holiday (1944). Key Largo (1948), "Joan of Lorraine," which became Joan of Arc (1948), The Bad Seed (1956), "The Devil's Hornpipe", which became Never Steal Anything Small (1959), and Anne of the Thousand Days (1969). "What Price Glory?" was made into a silent film in 1926 and was remade by John Ford in 1952.
He published two books of poetry, "You Who Have Dreams" in 1925, and "Notes on a Dream," published posthumously in 1972. Anderson also published two collections of essays, "The Essence of Tragedy and Other Footnotes and Papers" (1939) and "Off Broadway Essays About the Theatre" (1947).
His wife Margaret died on February 26, 1931, and he remarried in 1933, taking Gertrude "Mab" Higger as his second wife. They had a daughter, Hesper, born on August 12, 1934, and when Gertrude died on March 21, 1953, he married Gilda Hazard on June 6, 1954.
Among his many honors were honorary Doctor of Literature degrees from Columbia University in 1946 and the University of North Dakota in 1958, and the National Institute of Arts and Letters' Gold Medal in Drama in 1954.
