Extractions: Women's History Month Resources Anti-Imperialist Writings by George Ade By Jim Zwick G eorge Ade (1866-1944) was working as a journalist for the Chicago Record during the Spanish-American War and at the beginning of the Philippine-American War. In the summer of 1900, he left the Record to join his friend and colleague John T. McCutcheon in Manila. According to biographer Fred C. Kelly, it was while Ade was there through the end of 1900 that he gathered the materials on the U.S. government's relationship with the Muslim Filipinos of the Southern Philippines that he would later turn into The Sultan of Sulu. That may be true, but a trip to the Philippines was hardly necessary for what Ade produced. He was already aware of the government's treaty with the Sultan of Sulu and mentioned it in the sixth installment of his "Stories of Benevolent Assimilation," published on August 12, 1899, just a few days after the treaty was drafted. Although set in the Philippines, Ade's "Stories of Benevolent Assimilation" and The Sultan of Sulu are less about Filipinos than the Americans who were determined to "civilize" them.

Extractions: Home BEGINNINGS Born in Kentland, Indiana, George Ade was the second youngest of seven children raised by John and Adaline (Bush) Ade. Lacking enthusiasm for manual labor, especially farming, the young Ade could usually be found with his nose buried in a book. An 1887 graduate of Purdue University, where he met and started a lifelong friendship with Hoosier cartoonist John T. McCutcheon, Ade worked as a reporter for the Lafayette Call and also wrote testimonials for a patent medicine company's tobacco-habit cure. ADE AND THE CHICAGO RECORD In 1890 Ade joined McCutcheon on the staff of the Chicago Morning News , which later became the Chicago Record . After proving his worth as a reporter, Ade was put in charge of the column, "Stories of the Streets and of the Town," which McCutcheon illustrated. Ade captured the hustle and bustle of Chicago through such vivid characters as Artie, a young office boy; Doc Horne, a gentlemanly liar; and Pink Marsh, a black shoeshine boy. His column also introducted the work that would make him famous: fables. A FABLED CAREER "I would rather have written

The Sultan Of Sulu - George Ade
George Ade's musical satire, The Sultan of Sulu, about the US colonization of thePhilippines and its relations with the Muslim Filipinos of the Sulu islands.
http://www.boondocksnet.com/ai/ade/sulu/

Extractions: The Sultan of Sulu by George Ade G eorge Ade made his most unusual contribution to anti-imperialist literature with a comic opera about the U.S. government's controversial 1899 treaty with the Sultan of Sulu, a leader of the Muslim Filipinos of the southern Philippines. The Sultan of Sulu was performed for eleven weeks in Chicago in the spring of 1902, opened in Boston on December 1, and at Wallack's Theatre on Broadway on December 29, 1902. There it stayed for a successful run of 192 performances. It was remembered long afterward. More than two decades later, Mark Sullivan wrote that it "achieved a combination rarely found of real wit, topical allusion, and tunefulness. It was one of the best American musical comedies of any time." This piece, with an accompaniment of music written by Alfred G. Wathall, was produced by the Castle Square Opera Company, under the direction of Henry W. Savage, at the Studebaker Theatre, in Chicago, on March 11, 1902. The first Boston performance was at the Tremont Theatre, on December 1, 1902. The first New York performance was at Wallack's Theatre, on December 29, 1902.

http://www.mamajoseph.co.uk/bandhist1.asp

Extractions: Web Wiz Mailing List Time was when the force of rock music in the UK was almost totally obscured by the nation's desire for "Brit Pop". Every band one came across seemed a by-product, almost a victim, of the trend. Then... a spark of hope was struck in a seafront flat in the swingin' town of Brighton. A young singer/guitarist who went by the name of Norrie planned a change. October '97... With the aid of long time drummer, Martin Rands, Norrie set forth to seek a bass player worthy of the job of creating the low pulse for the new outfit. After wading through a colourful array of characters a positively psychedelic individual comes to light. The 'Rickenbacker' wielding Ade George was not only rhythmic and solid, but also a mean riff-meister, penning the main into riff to "Within the Wire" and "One and Only One" to name just a couple. With Martin's work done, he retired from the mission to bring up a beautiful family and make way for the illustrious Kev Terry who was tracked down through an advert in the weekly rag. Kev was a perfect choice for the band due to his solid rock approach to drumming with many added spices.

http://members.tripod.com/~KHuish/geoade.txt

Extractions: Williamson)Newton County Biography GEORGE ADE George Ade was born February 9, 1866 in Kentland, Indiana, the sixth son of John and Adaline Ade. He was known throughout the world for his plays and as a humorist. He said he never considered himself a humorist although he was labeled one; but he said, "I always stood at the head of my class when they arranged us alpahabetically." Few Hoosiers have had the distinction of having a soft drink, a cigar, a town, a hospital, a country club, a college football stadium, a highway, an Interstate Oasis and a Liberty Ship named in their honor. George Ade was one who had all of these distinctions. He graduated from Purdue in 1887in a class of eight. Worked as a journalist for Morning News in Lafayette 1887-90. Moved to Chicago in 1890 to work on Chicago News with his college friend, John T. McCutcheon. In 1893 his "Stories of the Street and of the Town" appeared November 20, in the News-Record. In 1897 his "Fables in Slang" appeared in print. By 1900 his columns were syndicated. His light opera, "Sultan of Sulu" was produced in 1902, and he purchased his 417 acre farm near Brook with the proceeds. Between 1902 and 1907 he wrote "Peggy from Paris", "The Shogun", "Just Out of College", "The College Widow", "The County Chairman", and had three plays running on Broadway at one time.He built his Hazelden country estate in 1904 and in 1908 was named a trustee of Purdue University. His fables were published in Cosmopolitan, Collier's, and The Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Ade was a world traveller, collecting an assortment of souveneirs which are now displayed in his Hazelden home. One of Mr. Ades fables ended with,"Early to bed and early to rise, and you will meet very few prominent people". Among the prominent people he met and entertained at Hazelden were, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Calvin Coolidge, Warren G. Harding, James Whitcomb Riley, Booth Tarkington, Will Rogers, Damon Runyon, Gene Sarazen, Charles Winninger, Ernie Pyle, Constance, Joan, and Barbara Bennett, and General Douglas MacArthur. Taft opened his successful presidential campaign at Hazelden in 1908. George Ade died May 16, 1944 in town of Brook and is buried in Fairlawn Cemetery, south of Kentland, Indiana. He willed his golf course to the members. He was noted for his "Kid Parties" for the children of Newton County, at which time they got all the hot dogs and ice cream cones they could eat.

George Ade (1866-1944), The Fabulous Fabulist
Little known today and toolittle appreciated, the works of george ade charmed andentertained a generation of Americans from the 1890's through the 1930's.
http://www.geocities.com/philip_milazzo/GeorgeAde/

Extractions: Little known today and too-little appreciated, the works of George Ade charmed and entertained a generation of Americans from the 1890's through the 1930's. There is a quantity of historical information about Ade on the world-wide web, but little of his written work is on-line. These pages are my contribution. They offer the contents of numerous editions of Ade's fables to the modern reader. These works were remarkable in their day, as they are now, for capturing the impressions of a newpaperman and a skilled observer of the commonplace in the vernacular of the day. This combination results in a unique, eyewitness picture of America in transition from small towns and smaller agricultural communities to densely populated, mechanised, technological cities. Ade's topics in the fables are not out-of-the-ordinary. He gives his wry and gentle observations on urbanization, higher education, sports, automobiles, salesmanship, the workingman's world, the magnate's office, the shopkeeper's counter, the joys and sorrows of relationships and the aspirations of youth. His view is that of a man who was born and raised in west Indiana farm country just after the Civil War, and who became a big city newspaper columnist, a successful playwright, world traveller and national celebrity. Sprinkled throughout Ade's fables we find references to contemporary persons and events whose significance easily escapes the modern reader. These pages represent my first attempt to annotate the fables, in the hope of adding significant historical texture to Ade's deftly understated prose.
