🕵️old klezmers🎻Came across this ad in the course of my New York #klezmer research on jpress. I've seen many ads like this for historic balls with Jewish orchestras but never seen one that lists all the dances in the newspaper ad itself 😯 so far no I've sent it to seems impressed lol. But it is an interesting piece of evidence that so many of the old country dances were still popular in mid 1920s New York. (This is from the Morgn Frayhayt, 2 October 1926.)
David Coombe@wragge Taking @wragge 's #Trove newspaper issues by state and year (CSV), I further looked into the impact of the 1852 Victorian #goldRush on newspapers. (It was hard to get staff with so many at the diggings.) From this data there is a big impact on #SouthAustralia and #Victoria itself and a smaller impact on #Tasmania.

ArcharzelI'm compelled to remind folks that, of all the Zodiac Killer suspects, only ONE of them had a direct connection to the print industry.

Daniel Carkner🦆came up in my FB memories from 2019. a weird ghost hand on the microfilm
(issue of Pantjaran Warta, #Malay Chinese newspaper from 1910, photographed to microfilm in #Jakarta in the 1980s)
This paper Djawa Tengah was a Chinese Indonesian owned paper in #Semarang and in the back pages they (like most newspapers at the time) would often print weird little blurbs about things that had gone on in the market. Dog bites man, Naive traveler robbed, that kind of thing. Curious what song she was singing😲As for there being a random Jewish woman drinking there, of course at that time Java had many Europeans of all backgrounds
Strange blurb I came across when keyword searching for something else in CRL collection:
"Jewish Woman.
Last night at around 10 a Jewish woman was drinking Arak in Tjapkouwking. After becoming drunk she started singing a melodious song that captivated the crowd.
Later the woman wanted to go home but didn't know the way. With the help of someone who knew, she was led home.
Why the woman was like that, no one knows."
May 1 1918, Djawa Tengah, #Semarang

At the time UBC's microfilm scanners were very basic and could only scan parts of the page which is why it's so blurry and broken up. That newspaper got in trouble a few years later for basically insulting Islam😲and shut down, maybe because of a boycott or maybe just because (those papers were always going bankrupt) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djawi-Hisworo
