Taming of the ShrewWednesday-Saturday, April 11-14 • 7:30 p.m.;Sunday, April 15 • 6:30 p.m.Kelsey Theatre, St. Olaf“What, did he marry me to famish me?…He does it underthe name of perfect love.” So says Kate in Shakespeare’scomedy, “The Taming of the Shrew.” Petruchio’s arrangedmarriage to Kate (a.k.a. “the fiend of hell”) begins as a get-rich-quick scheme, but ends with complete domination overhis bride. Through a series of elaborately farcical devices,Petruchio manages to bring the previously untamable Kateto her knees. Although the path to Kate’s domestication iscomic, the outcome is not. This play seeks to examine thehuman urge to control what we love and to rein in whatdelights us. Filled with humorous subplots, spoofs ofauthoritarian power and daft suitors, this is a comic delightserved with a bite. Written by William Shakespeare.

“Masquerade Ball! EasterMonday, April 7, 1890, at theOpera House. Tickets $1,

gallery 50¢ with the privilege of dancing after 11 o’clock.Everybody invited. H.T. Budd.”

So read an ad in the Northfield News as H. Telford (“Tel”)Budd extended an invitation to his second annual ball. Butsponsoring entertainment events was not his primary gig. OnApril 15, 1878, Budd had opened a barbershop on WestThird Street and he spent the next 62 years there, attendingto Northfield’s tonsorial needs. Budd even made it into thecartoon feature called “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” as theworld’s oldest active barber, having practiced his profession70 continuous years until his death on Oct. 14, 1940. Themost he ever charged for a haircut was 85 cents. Budd saidthat was “as high a sum as any bar-ber should extract at any time.”

April at the turn of the centurybrought varied entertainment toNorthfield, along with misfortune.On April 5, 1900, a touring com-pany presented “A YenuineYentleman” about a young immi-grant Swede, Sven Hanson, at thenew Ware Auditorium (now theGrand Event Center).

Two days later, Ibsen’s “A Doll’sHouse” hit the same stage. Thereviewer noted that this “intenselyScandinavian play” does not appealto “Anglican or American natures,especially those who come to thetheater to be amused and insistthat the play have a happy denoue-ment,” but the play was “greatlypleasing to those who join in theIbsen cult.”

Within a week of this performance,a fire broke out in the basement ofthe Ware which wrecked the inte-rior. The paper reported that “thebuilding presented a sorry sight tothe crowds of spectators who gath-ered.” Musical performances con-tinued throughout the month inother venues. After attending oneevening recital, Mr. and Mrs. F.J.Wilcox were run down by a bicyclerider in Central Park, with Mr.

removes fromNorthfield businesscircles a picturesquefigure,” noted theNorthfield News.Picturesque indeed.Everett Dilley, long-time manager of TheGrand, recalled thatthe Gem established

restrictive codes of admission for its movies: no St. Olaf stu-dents and no Carleton women students were allowed to gothere, “although sometimes you could see 60 young womenlined up at the side door waiting to sneak in.” A flyer (nowin the St. Olaf archives) urged a boycott of the Gem, sayingthat Boll “doggishly cusses the Norwegian race.” The boycottwould “demonstrate our Norwegian unity and our respectfor our race.”

April of 1932 was a particularly melodious month in

Wilcox sustaining a black eye and Mrs. Wilcox being con-fined to bed for a time from the severe bruises and the“nervous shock” the accident caused her. The NorthfieldNews opined that “we have in Northfield too much of reck-less bicycle riding…It should be the duty of those who ridewheels to look out for those who walk.”

In April of 1917 The Grand temporarily became the solemovie house in Northfield when Fred Boll sold the GemTheater, located on the west side. “The sale of the Gem

The Longfellow School Auditoriumwas the site of a Cub and Boy Scoutshow on April 16, 1955, which featuredIndian dancing and a re-enactment ofthe 1876 bank raid by the James-Younger Gang. Three hundred boysparticipated. Scouts from severaltroops donned makeup and mohairwigs and wore costumes “authenticallypatterned after the Sioux sunburstdance regalia.” They were billed as theWahkonda Great White IndianDancers.

In past Aprils, Northfielders haveenjoyed dressing up as others for enter-tainment, whether at masquerade ballsarranged by a barber in the 1890s or atScout shows in the 1950s. But of coursenothing can compare to our Septemberswhen the James-Younger Gang ridesagain (and again) in Northfield.

Information for this story was found inthe archives of the Northfield HistoricalSociety.

LS: Great house, I recognized it from aprofile I’ve seen in a magazine.

David: I started in a workshop on thetop floor of the Contented Cow.When that space became unavail-able, it made sense to combine myhome and workshop. A friend whois an architect and I worked up theplans. We used windows fromOddfellows and other recycledmaterials to keep the cost down.The best profile of the house is inthe book “Good House, CheapHouse” by Kira Obolensky.

LS: How did you get to Northfield?David: I grew up in Owatonna. After

finishing school, I chose to live here.I like the environment of the town,the benefits that the colleges bring. Ican take advantage of concerts andart shows without fighting a crowd.I never wanted to live in a big city.

LS: Tell me about your musical roots.David: I’ve played violin since I was

very young. Owatonna has a verystrong music program.

LS: How did you move from playing tothe violin to building violins?

David: In high school I enjoyed play-ing the violin, but I also enjoyed myshop classes. Arnold Krueger, theorchestra director in Owatonna,and I talked about a career directionand he knew just where to direct me– to perfect the craft of making vio-lins. I attended the Violin MakingSchool of America in Salt Lake Cityfor four years. It was ideal for me.The coursework consisted of musiclessons and lectures, but mostlyworking at a bench making violins.

LS: Did you start your own businessdirectly after school?

David: I did. The option was to eitherdo that or work doing repairs at alarge shop on the East or WestCoast. My mind was always on thenext violin I was going to make, sotaking a job doing repairs wasn’tvery interesting to me.

LS: How did you make a name foryourself in the business?

David: Fortunately, I had younger sib-lings who were playing my instru-ments in the Greater Twin CitiesYouth Orchestra. I received namerecognition through them. I alsostarted making violins and I woulddrive around to show and play theinstruments to teachers and players.

LS: Where is your market?David: Pretty much throughout the

United States. I have a few instru-ments that are now overseas, but thatis because the owner moved there.

LS: Who is playing your instruments?David: I have instruments that are

being played by major orchestramusicians in the MinnesotaOrchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony,Atlanta Symphony, the principalcellist in the Virginia Symphony,the assistant concertmaster in thePhoenix Symphony and a viola inthe Cavani Quartet.

LS: Do you make other stringedinstruments as well?

David: Primarily violins, violas andcellos, although I have made threeto four basses.

LS: What is it like listening to yourinstrument being played on thestage?

David: It is really enjoyable. It is idealwhen there is a quartet or quintet ofmy instruments being played. Aboutfour years ago I was contacted by “APrairie Home Companion” to be onthe show with a quintet of musiciansplaying my instruments. It was theArbor Day program and the empha-sis was on wood. The show is prettyloose, Garrison was supposed to talkwith me in advance of the show butit never happened. Finally just beforewe were to go on, he and I talked forfive to ten minutes to prepare for thelive show. Fortunately, he talked withme on the air at the beginning of theshow, before the quintet played so Iwas able to relax and really enjoy themusic.

LS: Any upcoming concerts featuringyour instruments?

David: Peter McGuire will play theTchaikovsky Violin Concerto withthe Minnesota Orchestra next sea-son on one of my violins.

LS: I’ve heard musicians say that theirinstrument sings, what does thatmean?

David: Each instrument will sound dif-ferent to every musician and musi-cians have a preference for a sound.

Some players want a more powerfulprojecting sound, while othersmight prefer a warmer, sweetersound, or possibly a combination ofseveral different qualities of sound.When someone comes to me to havean instrument made, I try anddetermine what sound they prefer. Iwill play for them on various instru-ments and have them play as well. Itdoesn’t take too long to find theirtonal preference.

LS: And then what?David: I keep meticulous records on

how I’ve created each instrument andthe nuances to each. In that way, Ican make a new violin to sound thesame as a violin I’ve made previously.

LS: How long does it take to build aviolin?

David: Each violin takes about three tofour months to make. I usually havetwo to three instruments going at atime.

LS: What is the trickiest process in themaking of a violin?

David: Probably obtaining the perfectvarnish. Each violin takes 15-20coats of varnish. There are so manyvariables and factors that perfectionbecomes a nearly unattainable goal.It is more like oil painting than whatwe normally think of as varnishing

LS: Do you still play?David: There are only so many hours

in a day. I certainly play on my own,and with my wife, Lori, who is apianist at St. Olaf.

Just Curious…And so a few quick questions and answers.

EATS & DRINKS EtiquetteRULES FOR BEHAVIOR

As April or May are usually the months for Prom, I thoughtI’d offer a few helpful hints from my “Etiquette and Mannersfor Prom” class I taught at the Northfield High School a fewyears ago.

Many years ago, in my youth, people only went to Prom if amale student asked a female student, or if two people hadbeen a couple for a long time where it was just assumed youwould go. Today, it is no longer just the gentleman invitingthe female. Females might invite a male friend, singles goalone and hook up with the crowd, and groups of friendsoften go together. In this day and age, same-sex couplesshould also feel free to attend.

Whoever does the inviting usually pays for the Prom tickets.

Flowers, a corsage or boutonniere is considered a gift and asurprise, and should be ordered and purchased by your dateand not yourself unless you are going alone or with a largergroup. Flowers should be ordered at least two weeks aheadof Prom. It is the gentleman’s responsibility to ask his datethe color and style of her dress, and if she would prefer acorsage, a wrist corsage, or a bouquet to carry. The gentle-man pays for her flowers when he orders them or picksthem up. A corsage will come with two pins to be pinned onthe left side, with the bow or ribbons facing downward. Onepin fits in from the top of the corsage and one from the bot-tom. A wrist corsage may go on either wrist with the toppointing toward the hand.

It is the responsibility of the woman to order and purchaseher date’s boutonniere. She may ask him what color hewould like. The boutonniere is pinned on the man’s left lapelover the slip (button hole) with the pins going in frombehind the lapel. Popular flowers for Prom are spring like,sweetheart roses, orchids and lilies.

The customary meal before the dance is a real treat. If goingto a restaurant, be sure it is within your budget, even if shar-ing the cost of the bill. Discuss ahead of time the paymentarrangements. Don’t wait until you’re at the restaurant todetermine who’s paying. If it’s “Dutch treat” and one persondidn’t bring money, it will be awkward.

Reservations need to be made early, especially if it’s a popu-lar restaurant. Most restaurants will hold your reservationsfor only 15 minutes, so don’t be late. If you decide to eatsomewhere else, call and cancel your reservation. This isonly fair to the restaurant and shows you are considerateand responsible. Make sure to leave enough time to eat, pay,

and get to the dance before the doors close.

When ordering your meal, give the waiter your full attentionwhen he/she comes to your table to explain house specials.Feel free to ask the waiter for suggestions as he/she seeseverything that comes out of the kitchen. When a couple isdining alone, it is correct (and romantic) for the woman totell the man what she would like and for him to give thewaiter the order. It is also correct for the waiter to go aroundthe table giving each person a chance to speak. A guestshould show some consideration for a host’s pocketbook bynot ordering the most expensive item.

If something goes wrong with the order, inform the waiterin a quiet voice that others can not hear. To summon awaiter, catch his eye, raise your hand, finger pointing up, asif to say, “attention”. When things go well praise him/her andthank him/her. A customary tip for good service at lunch is15 percent, at dinner is 20 percent.

Another option is having dinner at one of the student’shome. It’s cheaper (for the students anyway), close to thedance so there is no racing to make it to the dance on time,and fun for the parents. Progressive dinners (going to a dif-ferent home for each course), can be unique and fun, butthey can be time consuming so be sure to start early!

At the dance it is perfectly okay to dance with someonebesides your date as long as he/she is not left stranded andthat you make sure you dance the first and the last dancewith your date.

Finally, this is not your wedding night. There should be nopressure to experiment with sex or alcohol. Prom is a highschool dance. Relax and just have fun.
