# August Scherl

August Scherl (24 July 1849 – 18 April 1921) was a German newspaper magnate.

## Career

August Hugo Friedrich Scherl founded a newspaper and publishing concern on 1 October 1883, which from 1900 carried the name Scherl Verlag [d]. He was editor of the Berlin Local Advertiser (Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger) since 3 November 1883, and his publishing house started the weekly magazine Die Woche (The Week) in 1899. In 1904 he took over publication of the widely popular magazine Die Gartenlaube. As a result, his publishing company had the largest circulation of any in Germany at the time.
In 1909 he developed a monorail system for Germany in his book A New Rapid Transit System. His expensive newspaper projects were not economically successful, so in 1913, Scherl informed Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg that he was going to sell his company's shares. The company was eventually purchased by Simon Alfred Franz Emil von Oppenheim [de] and the Cologne financier Louis Hagen [de] of Deutscher Verlagsverein with financing of 8 million marks. On February 5, 1914, Scherl resigned from the management, selling his shares in the German Publishers Association.
His nationwide newspaper empire was taken over by Alfred Hugenberg in 1916, and later by Max Amann (Franz-Eher-Verlag).
The General-Anzeiger-Presse (General Advertiser Press) in Germany was founded by Scherl.

## Personal life

Scherl was born in Düsseldorf. As a boy, he lived with his parents in Naunynstrasse, but in later life he remained in the central district of Berlin. He died in Berlin and is buried at the Luisenstadt cemetery. He had a villa constructed in Dahlem in secret, in order to surprise his wife. When she made a derogatory comment about the building, when driving past it, Scherl had the house demolished, without informing his wife. The secret of his success was his readiness to take risks, understanding of economics, foresight, innovation and unwillingness to take anything on trust.

# One Main Place (Dallas)

One Main Place is a mixed-use skyscraper hotel and office building at 1201 Main Street in Dallas, Texas. The building rises 445 ft (136 m). It contains 33 above-ground floors, and was completed in 1968. One Main Place currently stands as the 27th-tallest building in the city. The architectural firm that designed the building was Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which also designed the Willis Tower and John Hancock Center in Chicago and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Gordon Bunshaft was the lead designer of One Main Place, and a few of his notable buildings include Lever House in New York, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
Originally conceived in the 1950s by the Dallas, Texas, Corporation to become Dallas's first Superblock, the building's 30,000-sq-ft footprint occupies only a third of the 2.4-acre property, almost a full city block. To the east and west of the property, recessed plazas provided tenants with access to the exterior without the intrusion of automobiles. The 1.1 million-sq-ft building includes five subsurface levels tied to the Dallas Pedestrian Network and a 700-space parking garage. Excavation work on the project began in 1965 and construction was completed in 1968. Following completion, One Main was immediately sold to Equitable Life Insurance Company. Subsequent owners included RREEF and RAK Group. Today, New Orleans–based KFK Group owns the building known as "One Main".
In 2015, a large portion of the building was converted to a hotel, the Westin Dallas Downtown. Opened in December 2015, the hotel has an entrance on the ground floor, while the second floor of the building houses the hotel's public rooms, with the lobby in the former banking hall, as well as a restaurant and a bar. The third floor houses convention facilities. The top 10 floors of the building have been converted to hotel rooms, leaving 10 floors of offices. The 32nd floor houses a pool and the Westin Workout Studio overlooking Main Street.

## In popular culture

Lobby and exteriors of the building were used in location filming and for establishing shots in seasons two and three of the original night-time drama Dallas. In the show, the building housed the offices of Cliff Barnes during his tenure as head of the fictional Office of Land Management.
# USS Niagara (SP-136)

The sixth USS Niagara (SP-136), later PY-9, was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1918 to 1931 and which served during World War I.

## Acquisition

Niagara was a steam yacht built in 1898 by Harlan and Hollingsworth, Wilmington, Delaware. The U.S. Navy purchased her on 10 August 1917 from Howard Gould of New York, New York, and converted her into an armed patrol yacht. She was commissioned in the Tebo's Yacht Basin, Brooklyn, New York, on 16 April 1918.

## World War I Service

Niagara departed New York on 21 May 1918 as escort for a merchant convoy bound for Bermuda and the Azores. She arrived at Ponta Delgada, Azores, on 12 August 1918 and departed on 22 August 1918 to join the American Patrol Detachment at Grassy Bay, Bermuda. On 5 September 1918 she stood out of Grassy Bay to rescue and tow in the merchant sloop Gauntlet, which was adrift after her sails had been carried away in a storm.
On 14 September 1918 Niagara sailed for Martinique in the West Indies to escort the French cable ship Pouyer Quertier, arriving at Fort-de-France on 19 September 1918. The two ships operated in the West Indies, visiting Trinidad, Barbados, Martinique, and Puerto Rico, until Niagara stood out from Port of Spain, Trinidad, on 13 December 1918 for Charleston, South Carolina.

## Postwar Service

Niagara entered the New York Navy Yard on 13 May 1919 for repairs before training out of New London, Connecticut, and New York. She departed New York on 25 September 1919 for Key West, Florida, then cruised off the coast of Mexico and between ports in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Other missions took her off Honduras, Guatemala, and Cuba.
Reclassified PY-9 on 17 July 1920, she continued patrols in the Caribbean Sea as a unit of the special service squadron until decommissioning at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 21 April 1922.
Niagara recommissioned on 24 June 1924. She sailed on 3 November 1924 to survey in the Caribbean under the direction of the Navy Hydrographic Office. She operated most of the next eight years charting the Gulf of Venezuela and the coast of Central America.
Her last survey cruise ended when she returned to Philadelphia on 17 October 1930. Niagara decommissioned on 3 March 1931 and her name was struck from the Navy List on 10 December 1931. She was sold for scrapping on 13 September 1933 to the Northern Metal Company of Philadelphia.

## 1899 gallery

In 1899, when the Niagara was owned by Howard Gould, photographs of the ship were included a book entitled Niagara; The Old And The New by Frank L. Blanchard. Originally, Niagara had a Welte Style 6 Concert Orchestrion which went through two decks (as pictured below - only the lower portion of the instrument is visible in the second row center photograph); Gould replaced this in 1912 with a Welte Philharmonic Organ.

# The Bigelow Show

The Bigelow Show is a American television variety program that was broadcast on NBC October 14, 1948 - July 7, 1949, and on CBS October 5, 1949 - December 28, 1949.

## Overview

Ventriloquist Paul Winchell was host of the program, which featured mentalist Joseph Dunninger. Winchell and his dummy, Jerry Mahoney, provided comedy; Dunninger performed mind-reading acts with guests who were sometimes at sites away from the studio. He also did mind-reading acts with people in the studio audience, "always with a noted personality present to judge the honesty of the performance." He offered to pay $10,000 to anyone who could prove that he read minds with assistance from an accomplice. Guests included:
* United States Representative Aime J. Forand, who was in Washington, D. C., while Dunninger was on a stage in New York. A split-screen technique showed the two.
* Elizabeth Kenny, with Dunninger inside a lead vault.
* Branch Rickey Jr.
* Billy Rose in a remote part of Radio City.
On October 28, 1949, Winchell and Dunninger took the show to Camden, New Jersey, for a two-hour production that included all of the TV show's features. The presentation raised money for a fund that provided activities for underprivileged children in the Camden area.

## Production

The producing agency was Young & Rubicam, Inc., with Frank Telford as the producer and Preston Wood as the director. Dan Seymour was the announcer. Music was recorded. The sponsor was Bigelow-Sanford Carpet Company. On NBC The Bigelow Show was broadcast on Thursdays from 9:30 to 10 p.m. Eastern Time. Its competition included Actors Studio on ABC. The trade publication Billboard reported in May 1949 that after NBC's 8-8:30 program was canceled, the three shows that followed it "were said to be insecure", but the Bigelow program seemed stronger than the others. When the program moved to CBS, it was on Wednesdays from 9 to 9:30 p.m. E. T.

## Critical response

A review of the premiere episode in the trade publication Variety indicated that aspects of production needed to be improved for the show to achieve its potential. The review praised the talents of Winchell and Dunninger, but it said that use of better staging and better sets would have resulted in a better program. "Sets for both the stars", it said, "comprised merely unattractive drapery backdrops and a couple of tables and chairs tossed together." The review also said that Dunninger's act "left too much room for skepticism" despite the reward offered to anyone who might prove that he had cheated.
# Onion Creek Bridge (Coffeyville, Kansas)

The Onion Creek Bridge was built in 1911 near Coffeyville, Kansas. The pin-connected steel Parker through-truss bridge is 104 feet (32 m) long. It is unusual in possessing vertical end posts, one of only two such bridges in Kansas. The bridge retains its design integrity.
The Onion Creek Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
