A propos de cet article

George S. Stoney, Walter S. Child (authors/writers/interviewers); Emeric Kurtagh, planner of the study (and Director of the Henry Street Settlement) and Helen Hall (Main Worker at Henry Street Settlement). Rooms of their Own, a Survey of 28 Lower East Side Social Clubs. Henry Street Settlement, Survey Department (led by Susan Jenkins), Henry Street Studies, 1939. 11"x 8.5", 79 leaves. Offset printed on one side of the page only, about 48,000 words. This is a very writerly and observant series of interviews and observations by George C. Stoney (who would become a life-long film documentarian, see below) of representatives of 28 social clubs in the Lower East Side. It is a WONDERFUL collection of observations on an unusual and perhaps obscure piece of social history of the Lower East Side of NYC. There is an introductory and review section ranging from pp 1-21, while pp 32-79 are the reports for each one of the social clubs. Discussions with the reps of the clubs touched on membership (there are a number of ethnic clubs as well as Jewish social clubs), the interipr design of the clubs, game playing, drinking, dues, rents, and much else of interest. It looks like in general that each club gets about 1.5 pp of attention. Provenance: given by the then 23-year-old George C. Stoney in 1939 to the Library of Congress, with a pencil notation to that on the reverse of the title page. There are a few pencil notes on the cover plus a LoC surplus stamp on the cover as well. Nice copy, a solid G/VG. The names of the clubs include: Perfecto Social Club, (member of the Federation of East Side Social Clubs), Carie Soical Club, Blue Heaven Social Club Inc., Avenue-Lords, Wa-Cor, Joy Guys, Catherine St Boys Inc., Riviaven, DCA (David Cohn Associates), Seward Street Boys, Jackson Social Club, Club J, Inc., Fri-la-HasClub, Inc., Grover St Boys Inc., Club Imperial, Rainbow Rhythm, Big League Social and Athletic Club, Rovers, Clin-Hes, Poplar Street Boys Association, Wilman, Athlitso, Golden Slippers (the only strictly female club on this list), Ohyeah, Circle, Dreamalong, Broadway Strutters, and Club Colossal. Notes: "George Cashel Stoney (July 1, 1916 July 12, 2012) was an American documentary filmmaker, educator, and the "father of public-access television." Among his films were Palmour Street, A Study of Family Life (1949), All My Babies (1953), How the Myth Was Made (1979) and The Uprising of '34 (1995). All My Babies was entered into the National Film Registry in 2002. He worked at the Henry Street Settlement House on the Lower East Side of NYC in 1938, as a field research assistant for Gunnar Myrdal and Ralph Bunche's on their publication An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy. He was also a publicist for the Farm Security Administration covering the plight of tenant farmers until he was drafted in 1942.…
