HISTORICAL SOCIETY
OPENS ADDITION
Over 50 members and guests of
i the Chatham Historical Society
were present at the old Atwood
House on June 22 when the new
addition was opened to the public.
Edwin F. Eldredge following an in-
troduction by Mrs. Charles A.
Guild , society president, spoke of
the friendliness of the late author ,
Joseph Lincoln. He stated that
through Mr. Lincoln 's books Cupe
Cod qualities have been translated
to the entire country. As a memo-
rial to Mr. Lincoln his portrait by
Harold Brett hangs between tho
windows in the new room. A com-
plete set of 62 first editions of his
books has been given by Barton
Curry. A trestle table ut which ho
sat while writing "Mary 'Gustn " has
been loaned by his cousin , Mrs.
Agnes Fossenden. Built front funds
donated by the lnte Mrs. Frederick
Drake , the Lilly Foundation , friends
of the society, and admirers of the
late author, the construction of the
addition was efficiently supervised J
by Benjamin O. Eldredge, to whom
much credit for the success of tho '
project is due.
Among the recently acquired ar-
ticles exhibited for the llrst time
are Chinese articles collected by
Josiah Hardy before he became
lighthouse keeper, and donated by
his granddaughter , Miss Ursula
Paine of Harwich , and family heir-
looms donated by Mrs. Mary Mills.
A water color of the first marine
railway which wus located at Stage
Harbor after it was brought from
Nantucket by Oliver Eldredge was
of special Interest . Among tho his-
torically valuable articles is a tiny
piece of the Mayflower brought
from England and given to the
late Arthur Tarbell by Rollins Col-
lege.
Floral arrangements for the In-
formal opening were in charge of
Mrs. Fannie L. Shattuck , who used
garden flowers from her Bridge
Street estate. Especially effective
was an arrangement of bine del-
phinium surrounding a lemon lily,
a striking contrast against the
French blue walls and mist gray
wainscoting. Mrs. Joseph Lincoln,
the author's widow, was present ac-
companied by her granddaughter.
Also present were a cousin, Mrs.
Agnes Fessenden and artist Harold
Brett. Refreshments were in the
charge ot Mrs. Luther Coombs,

Clement K. Eldredge. Invitations

Talk About Hobbies!
Two seventeen year old boys
were standing in Newspaper Row,
Washington Street, Boston , awe-
inspired by a demonstration given
tho famed magician Houdlnl one
day in 1922. The boys were part of
a large crowd. - They were not to
meet until 27 years later—here in
Hyannis , at the offices of the Barn-
stable Playground and Recreation
Commission.
At the time of Houdini'B Boston
magic presentation, Mr. Carl W.
Holmes, now president of Cape
Cod Productions, was a member ot
the photographic staff of the Bos-
ton Post. The other youth, named
Sidney V. Wright, was a college
student visiting bis father's art
studio in Boston. Mr. Holmes' in-
terest in magic was only for the
personal amusement ot the mo-
ment. To young Mr. Wright, how-
ever, the study ot magic and leger-
demain waB his hobby. Inspired by
Houdlnl's feat that day back In
1922, he then and there decided
carefully to study and learn the
difficult ramification ot presti-
digitations. And he did, for ho be-
came "The Fahtastic Magician"
nnd appeared for three years on
the B. F. Keith theatre circuit.
A theatrical critic In describing
Mr. Wright said, "His magic Is
pleasing and unusually fascinating
In its swiftness; producing start-
ling effects, such as only a nlnn
of lightning Rpoed and versatility
Is capable. " After retiring from the
theatrical field hi 1930, Mr. Wright
made use of his experience as a
showman in organizing and direct-
ing dramatics , recreation and
hobby programs throughout Massa-
chusetts.
During the war ho organized arts
and crafts In Army nnd Navy
camps, and brought shows and pro-
duced them for tho benefit of
service men. He also conducted
athleticB and such as baseball,
basketball and various other tour-
naments In the camps. At the re-
quest of the United States Govern-
ment he organized craft programs
on tho Ill-fated airplane carrier,
THE WASP.
Mr. Wright came to Cape Cod
in November, 1944 , when he was
appointed supervisor of the Hyan-
nis Community Center. He was
I graduated from the Rogers High
School, Newport, Rhode Island , and
attended Practical Arts School in
Philadelphia , the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts In Philadel-
phia, Detroit School of Lettering,
and Springfield College. In addi-
tion , he took courses In philosophy
and the administration of recrea-
tion. He has lectured In the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts , Hyannis
State Teachers College , Women's
Clubs' Klwanls, Rotary, Lions, Ma-
sons, and Knights of Columbus, on
dlfforont types of hobbles.
On Cape Cod he is known as the
"Creator of Hobbles", duo to the
fact that he has organized so many
types ot leisure-time activities.
Among these are metal crafts,
jewelry, leather craft, ceramics, oil
painting, photography, coin collect-
ing, magic clubs, stamp collecting,
nature lore, wood Inlaying, sea-
shell collecting, marionettes, pup-
pots, block printing on cloth and
paper, and decorutlng all types of
household furnishings. He bus been
active in organizing tournuments
In basketball , ham-hull , volley-ball ,
Hwimming, boxing and table tennis.
He is considered to he one of
America's outstanding authorities
on recreation nnd hobbies, m spite
of the fact that he Is perhapR one
of the busiest men on Capo Cod,
ho does occasionally manage to
find time to display his skill and
hobby of performing feats ot magic I
before clubs , lodges , churches, and
private partlos. I
Mr. Wright Is married, the
father ot two sons, one at whom Is I
a Htuilenl at the M, M . A. Both -
"Sid" and Mrs. Wright aro somo- l
what disappointed that nelthor of
their boys Is Interested In follow-
ing In the footBteps of their famous
father. Interviewed on WOCB—
WOCB-FM by Carl W. Holmes and
Paul Bussong tonight he will re-
lute some of the interesting anoc-
dotoH regarding his outstanding ca-
reer. The many letters and In-
quiries received by the WOCB—
WOCB-FM staff regarding advice
on hobbles will bo turned over to
Mr. Wright, who Is now associated
with Cupe Cod Productions «s n
consultant.
Next week's article "Talk About
Hobbies" will relate tho story
about tho mother and daughter
who collect photographs as a
hobby.
