"Marie was on scholarship 1914-1916 at what was then the “Institute of Musical Art” (which merged with the Juilliard Graduate School in 1926 to become the Juilliard School of Music) with a double major in piano and voice. She did not graduate, but sang in the “New York Opera Company” (which still exists) in the role of Hansel in Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel.” She also concertized (as “Marie Merman” because of the strong public anti-German sentiment), including at “Cinema” theaters between showings of the then-short, silent, black-and-white new medium of film."

Age 76
Dies at Point Pleasant, Ocean, New Jersey.  He donated his body to Rutgers Medical School (in New Brunswick, New Jersey) for anatomical purposes. [13, 14]

According to son, Walter, Jr., he was athletic, playing basketball, handball, billiards, and pool. During WWI, he did weight lifting. He was not a church-goer, but did teach principles of honesty and integrity to his children. Walter remembers “extremely well being in the car, and my father saying at one point that the important thing is that when you walk down the street, you want people to raise their hands to greet you or salute you, rather than to raise their hands to hit you.”

He was quite involved with his children. Walter, Jr., remembers being read to regularly and that his father took saxophone lessons and trumpet lessons with his son. He also played piano by ear occasionally.

Walter, Jr’s, remembrance: “I remember hearing in those days in New York, a man wore a hat, period. And if a person set out to do auditing at some client’s firm where they were going to audit the books, if the auditor was without a hat, it was not uncommon for the manager of that company to call back to the auditing firm, “Send us a man who is properly dressed.” My father hated to wear hats, and he had only one Hamburg, a very nice hat, that didn’t even fit him. And for many, many, many years he carried this one Hamburg. It was not practical, because it didn’t fit on his head. But he had a hat. So he would carry that hat around.”

Regarding the bringing of Einstein to America, Walter, Jr, says: “In fact, when Einstein was brought over, my father was instrumental in the arrangements. Einstein didn’t want to meet the press, and so when he was coming, there was considerable fanfare, because he was well-known as being a great theoretician, ‘cause his big advances were made when he was quite young. You know, in the 1915/1916 era. He was already an outstanding theorist, scientific theorist. So, when he came to the United States in the ‘30s, my father was to arrange the thing, and so they arranged to have Einstein brought in on a little launch from the ocean liner, so he that wouldn’t be there when the ocean liner met where all the press would be waiting to interview him.
