CHARLOTTE H. KANELLOS

Mrs. Vassos Kanellos, Famous Interpretater of Greek Art, Dies Here 
Former Charlotte Markham, Known Internationally, Had Been Ill a Month 
Mrs. Vassos Kanellos, the former Charlotte Markham, known internationally as 
Tanagra Kanellos, interpreter of Greek art, died at the family home, 521 North 
Fifth street, this morning. She had been ill for about a month, and her death 
was due to septicaemia. Funeral services have not been completed.
Mrs. Kanellos was born in Manitowoc on January 22, 1892, the daughter of the 
late Herbert Markham and Mrs. Markham. She was a graduate and later an instructor 
at the Chicago Art Institute. She traveled abroad, studying in the galleries and 
art schools of Europe for three years before her marriage to Mr. Kanellos on 
October 9, 1920. She was a professor of history of art at Downer college, Milwaukee, 
and director of the art school of the Milwaukee Art Institute. She maintained a 
studio in Milwaukee for some time, and later had a studio in Athens, Greece, with 
her husband.
Travelled Extensively 
The Kanelloses travelled extensively after their marriage, producing drama festivals 
in theaters here and abroad. Under the auspices of the Greek government they produced 
the Delphic festival in 1927, and as the result of that festival they were commiss-
ioned by the Greek Government to direct and organize the ancient classic outdoor 
theaters of Greece. Audiences of as many as 50,000 persons at a performance witnessed 
their presentations in the classic theaters of Aeschylos, Euripides, Argus, Olympia, 
Opeidauros and Megalopolis.The Greek government and scholars of the country who made 
up the organization known as the Society of Hellic Choral Drama commissioned Mr. and 
Mrs. Kanellos to be directors of the institute maintained by the society.
Outstanding performances given by the couple include the festival at the Chicago 
Auditorum under the auspices of the Drama League of America in 1933, a festival 
supported by more than 100 patrons of the Chicago Grand Opera and the Chicago Sympony 
Orchestra; performances during the two years they were at the Greek Theater at Berkeley, 
Calif., at the invitation of the University of California, and the performances at the 
Goodwin Theater at the Chicago Art Institute. Their last performance was on May 7 at 
Orchestra Hall in Chicago, under the auspices of the adult education department of the 
University of Chicago.
Not alone for her dancing was Mrs. Kanellos known throughout the world, but for her 
execution of murals and water color paintings. She designed the stages for many of 
the important theaters here and in Greece. She was also a writer and her work appeared 
in the Theater Arts Monthly, outstanding publication of the legitimate stage.
Critics referred to her work as the completion of what Isadora Duncan started. While 
Miss Duncan had the Gricidean idea, she lacked the background and tradition that Tanagra 
Kanellos brought to her interpretations. The music and tradition of the people of Greece 
were the source from which she drew the material for her art. From that tradition and 
art of the theater was compounded the chorodrama revival of which brought Mrs. Kanellos 
world-wide renown in cultural circles.
Her aim in her art was to unite Athena and America spiritually and her best performances 
were given when she realized that many Americans were in the audience at the Greek 
theaters. Her stage name of Tanagra she received from the Greek people in whose eyes she 
resembled the famous statue of Tanagra. Her art reflected her belief that if there were 
more traditional Greek art in the American theater there would be an uplift to a greater 
spiritual democracy instead of an economic one.
Survivors of Mr. Kanellos are the widower, one daughter, Nenea; mother, Mrs. Herbert 
Markham; and two sisters, Margaret Markham Culver of this city and Elizabeeth Markham 
Karow of Evanston, Ill.

Memorial Services to be Held for Mrs. Kanellos 
The 40th day after the death of Charlotte Markham Kanellos will be commemorated in

Mr. Kenellos, his daughter, Xenea and Mrs. H. L. Markham will leave Friday morning for 
Chicago where they will attend the memorial service at the Holy Trinity Cathedral. 
The regular Sunday services will be held, and these will be followed by eulogies by

America, will officiate at the services at the New York Cathedral Sunday and has announced 
the services to be held in all churches under his jurisdiction. Similar services will be 
held in the Greek churches.
The Greek people will memorialize Mrs. Kannellos as an “ideal mother” and for her contri-
butions in architecture, painting, the dance, drama and music. Her death late in July has 
been proclaimed a national loss in Greece and America.
Mr. Kanellos is still receiving letter and cablegrams of condolences from notables here 
and abroad.

Injured by Auto on Sidewalk
Mrs. George Kapitz is confined to her bed by injuries she suffered when struck 
by an automobile driven by a woman at Tenth and Division Streets last Sunday. 
She was about to cross the street when she saw a car approaching and stayed on 
the sidewalk. The woman driving lost control of the car and it struck Mrs. 
Kapitz although she was in a place of apparent safety. The car is registered 
in the name of the Sheboygan Paint Company and the woman driver gave her name 
which no one remembered in the excitement. Mrs. Kapitz suffered an injury to 
her spine and a severe cut on the right arm. When they get to maiming one in 
the sidewalk the next step will be to follow the hapless pedestrian into his 
backyard to inflict injuries.

KILLED AS HE WAS ABOUT TO FINISH LABOR
Backward Step Off Platform Plunges Man To Death at Kimberly
There was the irony of Fate in the tragedy that yesterday claimed 
the life of William Karlman, Manitowoc man who suffered fatal injuries 
when he fell from a platform about a large drain upon which he was at 
work at the mills of the Kimberly-Clark Co., at Kimberly. Mr. Karlman 
would have closed his labors at Kimberly today and was planning his 
return home to prepare for a trip to Tennessee where he was to take 
charge of work for the Manitowoc Engineering Co. with whom he was 
employed as field man. Mr. Karlman sustained fatal injury when he fell 
from a scaffold upon which he was making inspection of work on the drum, 
presumably as result of a misstep. No one witnessed the accident. Mr. 
Karlman’s helper discovering that Mr. Karlman was not on the scaffold 
when he turned to address him and upon looking down, saw the body of 
his superintendent on the concrete floor twenty-five feet below. Mr. 
Karlman’s neck was broken in the fall and life was extinct when fellow 
workers reached him. 
Body Brought Here. 
The accident happened only an hour after work of the afternoon had started. 
The body of Mr. Karlman was brought here last night by J.L. Wattawa and 
taken to the Wattawa parlors to be prepared for burial and later taken to 
the home. Services will be held from the home 2414 Liberty Place Saturday 
afternoon at 1:30 and the body will be taken to the First Lutheran church 
at 2 o’clock, the Rev. Ristad officiating. 
Native of Germany. 
Born in Germany August 1, 1873, Mr. Karlman was fifty-three at his last 
birthday and had been a resident of this city since the age of seven when 
he arrived with his parents. He gained his education in the local schools 
and became a stationary engineer. In 1898 he was married at Stetsonville 
to Miss Lucile Korn and the family took up its home here and have resided 
here since. About twenty five years ago Mr. Karlman became identified with 
the new company that took over the ship yards and has since been in the 
company’s  employ succeeding to the position of field construction man. He 
was rated highly by the company and was in charge of many of the important 
erecting jobs on digesters and other machinery of the Manitowoc Engineering 
company. Surviving are the widow, a son, William Jr., who is married and 
also makes his home here. Ella Beulah and Owen at home and an aged mother 
who makes this city her home. He was not a member of any of the fraternal 
organizations but did take part in the work of the church of which he was 
a member.

Three Old Residents Whose Ages Are Exactly Ten Years Apart, Feast
Three pioneer residents of the city, Gotlieb Karnofsky, Charles Leverenz and John Koebke, are celebrating their birthdays today, May 1 and a peculiar fact in connection is that exactly ten years differentiate their natal days, the first name being 93 years old, the second 83 and Mr. Koebke, 73.

CARL KASBAUM

DEAD BODY OF CARL KASTBAUM (sic) FOUND SUNDAY 
His face buried in the sand where he had fallen over a five foot embankment at 
the river end of South Nineteenth street, the dead body of Carl Kastbaum, for 
many years a farmer in the town of Newton, was discovered early yesterday morning 
by John H. Nuhs, 611 South Nineteenth street, who immediately reported his 
discovery to the police. Rigor mortis had set in and the man apparently had been 
dead for several hours before his body was found. Dr . G. Kemper, county coroner 
and the district attorney were called but decided no inquest would be held, holding 
the death was a purely accidentally one.
Had Lost His Way.
From the indication where the body was found Kastbaum had apparently lost his way, 
and the fall from the five foot wall stunned him when his head struck a stone. He 
fell in such a manner his face was buried in the soft sand and death resulted from 
smothering. The body was removed to the Frazier and Shimek undertaking parlors 
where it was prepared for burial and was then taken to the home of a daughter, Mrs. 
John Anic, 522 Jay street, from where the funeral will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow 
afternoon.
Carl Kastbaum was born in Germany June 8, 1852, and would have been seventy-three 
at his next birthday. He came to this country at the age of two and a half years 
with his parents, the family settling in Newton where he grew to manhood and married 
Mary Klusmeyer forty-five years ago. He made his home on the old farm homestead until 
the death of his wife January 13, 1921, when he disposed of his interest and came to 
the city to make his home with his son-in-law an daughter. Mr. and Mrs. John Anic. 
He had been about the house as usual Saturday and his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. 
and Mrs. Herman Winkel of Howard's Grove, had been in to visit him. When he failed 
to return Saturday night, Mr. and Mrs. Anic concluded he had gone to Howard's Grove 
for a visit and the report of the finding of his body Sunday came as a severe shock.
Surviving Family.
Surviving Mr. Kastbaum are five daughters, Mrs. William Stockmeyer of Valders, Mrs. 
Herman W___ of Howards Grove, Mrs. Alex Adams, Mrs. John Anic and Miss Alvina 
Kastbaum of this city. A sister, Mrs. Carl Schroeder of this county and a brother, 
Fred Kastbaum of Oconto, also survive him.
