# William Kuhlemeier

William Harmon Kuhlemeier (August 14, 1908 – July 8, 2001) was an American gymnast. He was a member of the United States men's national artistic gymnastics team and was the 1932 Olympic bronze medalist in Los Angeles.

## Personal life

Kuhlemeier was born in Seattle, Washington, on January 14, 1908, and was likely of German descent, as his name has German origins and he was a Los Angeles' Turnverein Germania Club member. He worked as a manager in the family laundry business.

## 1932 Olympic bronze

On July 25, 1932, a tryout meet to determine the American gymnastics team for the Los Angeles Olympics was held at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Forty-four athletes, many AAU competitors and champions, were scheduled to complete. For Indian Clubs, selections included Kuhlemeier with Roth, and Erenberg, the two other medalists, as well as four other competitors.
At the tryout, Kuhlemeir was associated with the Los Angeles Tuverein Germania Club, which had a long history in Los Angeles catering to a growing German immigrant population and by 1900 featured gymnasts, singers, actors, fencers, marksmen, and costume balls. In the early 1900s and prior, the Indian Club was a common element in German American gymnastic work, an exercise tool first brought to European attention by British soldiers.
Selected for the American Gymnastics team, he competed at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles where he received a bronze medal in clubs. The gold medalist was American George Roth, and the silver medalist was American Philip Erenberg, who would become a Los Angeles and Hollywood-based physician specializing in obstetrics and internal medicine. This gave the Americans a clean sweep of the medal competition in the event that year. In the 1932 Olympics and prior, Americans had a limited history with Olympic medals in Gymnastics competitions.
Competing on August 9, 1932, in Los Angeles, he scored 25.9 in the Indian Clubs, placing him third behind Philip Erenberg who scored 26.7. The athletes swung two Indian clubs of .70 kg (1.5 lbs), for a minimum of four minutes. The scoring may have been more subjective than events based on time or distance, as it had somewhat flexible scoring criteria, was an Olympic event that had only been featured once earlier in 1904, had a limited history as a competitive gymnastics event, and included judging on artistry.
According to one source, Kuhlemeier married Nana J. Fly Kuhlemeier in 1936.
Indian clubs was a sport popular in England at one time, and originally common in England's colonies in India. In Indian Club Swinging, there is no juggling, and the club, which looks like a long bowling pin, never leaves the palm of your hand, making the sport more dependent on muscle and endurance than purely on timing, as the clubs each weigh around a pound and a half. The sport was not performed in the Olympics again after 1932.

## Death

Kuhlemeier died in Carlsbad, California, South of Los Angeles on July 8, 2001, at the age of 93.
# Bijou Theatre (Manhattan, 1878)

The Bijou Theatre was a former Broadway theater in New York City that opened in 1878 as Theatre Brighton and was demolished in 1915. It also served as an opera house and silent movie venue throughout its history.

## History

Located at 1239 Broadway, between 30th and 31st Streets, the building had been converted from a drinking and gambling establishment into a theatre for variety, and opened August 26, 1878, with Jerry Thomas as proprietor. The house had many changes and names until John A. McCaull, a Baltimore lawyer, and Charles E. Ford took charge of it. Considerable money was spent and when they reopened the house on March 31, 1880, as the Bijou Opera-house, it looked like a modern and well-regulated theatre. In 1881 and 1882, Lillian Russell appeared in three different operettas.
But the house proved too small to be profitable, so after the performance of July 7, 1883, preparations for tearing it down began. R. E. J. Miles and Gen. W. B. Barton leased the premises for five years from its owner, Edward F. James. They agreed to advance sufficient funds to erect a new house, which was designed by J. B. McElfatrick & Son and opened December 1, 1883, as the Bijou Theatre. The first production was Orpheus and Eurydice, an adaption by Max Freeman of Jacques Offenbach's Orfée aux enfers."
Adonis, starring Henry E. Dixey, played its record-breaking run of 603 performances at the Bijou beginning September 4, 1884. Another long run was The Music Master, starring David Warfield, transferred from the Belasco Theatre on January 9, 1905, and playing 511 performances, for a total at the two theaters of 635, before closing September 29, 1906.
The next big hit was A Gentleman from Mississippi, starring Thomas A. Wise and Douglas Fairbanks, which opened September 29, 1908. From June 29 to August 7, 1909, it played at the Aerial Gardens atop the New Amsterdam Theatre, with new scenery and costumes, moving back to the Bijou August 9. After giving its 400th performance (counting the Aerial Gardens) on August 25, the play closed on September 18.
The Bijou was later used as a silent movie house. It was demolished in 1915 and replaced by the present high-rise office building, which opened in 1917.

# Last Days (poetry collection)

Last Days is a 2021 poetry collection by Tamiko Beyer, published by Alice James Books. The book won the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Poetry and was a finalist for the Julie Suk Award.

## Contents and background

One of Beyer's poem-stories preceding the book's publication, "Last Days, Part 1", won the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers in 2019. Its ideas would later be revised and included in the book itself.
For the book's launch, Beyer hosted an event, "Seeds Bursting Open in Fire", to gather over 60 attendees and discuss the social, political issues relevant to the book's poetry, among them the environment. Beyer also executed a different book distribution model by fundraising enough to give the book to over 200 "organizers, campaigners, activists, cultural workers, and healers" along with Gabrielle Civil's new chapbook, ( ghost gestures ).

## Critical reception

The Adroit Journal commended Beyer's optimism in the face of apocalyptic threats like climate change and other forms of environmental degradation. The reviewer stated "the collection envisions a societal renaissance toward justice and equity, toward an evolved consciousness that sees all living matter as a part of a singular, vast, interdependent organism."
RHINO said the book "is song-filled and feathered; a murmuration; a brilliant manifesto for survival." The reviewer, Luisa Igloria, observed the rich diversity of styles ranging from triptychs and zuihitsus to haibun and tanka.
Ilanot Review stated "As we find ourselves in the overwhelming midst of so many interwoven crises—climate change, global pandemic, political turmoil—Tamiko Beyer's Last Days is a collection of poems that walks bravely to the edge of the precipice to observe and confront the long-entrenched violences wrought by white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, and capitalism."
