Sorry guys, but no.
Clue: It was said of this man (not by Tarbell), that he identified with Lincoln so strongly throughout his career, that he wouldn't think it a proper ending unless he was assassinated.

Actor Raymond Massey?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 03-17-2022 06:21 PM
Correct Steve. It was Raymond Massey. Tarbell made the comment in a letter she wrote to a fellow member of the Pen and Brush Club. Massey had told Tarbell that he would be happy to speak before the club in 1939. Tarbell met Massey during one of his Broadway performances of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois." After watching the film at the White House, with Massey in the audience, FDR praised the movie and added concerning Lincoln "and just think, he wrote his own speeches."

That was a neat question, Rob!
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 09-26-2022 08:27 PM
This one could be easy or not. Please, however, no Googling.
Who is the gentleman standing next to Tarbell (and no, I don't mean the Lincoln statue!).

Rob, is it a person who has been previously mentioned on this forum?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 09-27-2022 07:23 AM
Roger,
To the best of my knowledge he has been mentioned a few times, but not often.

Albert J Beverage ?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Steve - 09-27-2022 09:34 AM
Did he have any connection to the Roosevelt Administration?
I meant the FDR Administration.
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 09-27-2022 04:28 PM
Gene,
Sorry, but it isn't Beveridge.
Steve, I don't know of any connection to FDR.
Clue#1. He isn't a historian in the classical sense.

I do not remember ever seeing a photo of Emanuel Hertz; thus, I will guess him.
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 09-27-2022 09:33 PM
Logical guess Roger, but incorrect.

Didnt she write a "biography" of a major company? (at risk of showing my ignorance here) and this could be the owner?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 09-28-2022 08:05 AM
Mike,
She did write biographies of Elbert Gary and Owen D. Young, but this is neither.
Clue#2. This person's child was as well-known as he was.

Is this person known for their literary activities?
