(I ong Pause) Well that’s not the worst trait a writer can possess Would you like to join my seminar?” "It would be an honor” I honestly answered "Fine We’re meeting informally tonight at my home Eight o’clock Shirt tie and coat” He handed me a business card with his Bryn Mawr home address — and that was the end of the interview There was no beginning no end and no graduation to Joe Esrey’s seminars Some students stayed a week some a semester some for a year and longer Anyone who joined expecting in the way of extrasomething curricular social life on campus was quickly and greatly fooled Joe Esrey made you read and then he made you write about what you had read He would critique your work aloud in front of 24 other would-bwriters Frequently we ail experienced He had something of a no favorites He was a “Professor Kingsford" of sorts — and long before John' Houseman made that character popular on The Paper Chase He was short and plump a confirmed bachelor who enjoyed suits (even in the muggiest of the city's summers) and bowties He was Old t floppy Philadelphia Main Line He had never known anything but wealth and he all but reeked with dignity He had a flaw — if it was a flaw — in that he liked vaudeville That preference of entertainment lead to what may have been one of his most embarrassing moments Joe Esrey asked me one day if I perchance enjoyed the vaudeville theater I told him had seen some of the country's greatest acts in the Old Crawford House on Scolly Square in Boston He then asked if had ever seen Billy "Cheese and Crackers" Hagan perform “Not often enough” told him “Would you like to join me at the "Troc” this Saturday?” The "Trocadcro” was among the last of the old vaudeville houses back east It used to feature headliners from V I the Keith Circuit and Minsky’s Revue It was in a section of the city that even in those days was beginning to turn ' seedy We waited across the street until the line at the ticket office had disappeared and then we trotted over Joe bought two tickets and we walked into a darkened theater Fifi LaRue or maybe it was Kittie Lidder was on stage and giving the audience a fair shake for its money It was a full hour before Hagan appeared and began to do his routine His act was risque but never vulgar Professor Esrey had told me that he wanted to leave a bit early — before the house lights were turned on For fear of being seen by friends family or students I suppose Unfortunately there was a fire alarm that night Not an unusual occurrence in the old “Troc” The lights came on in the middle of Hagan’s act and we were all asked to leave in an orderly fashion There was no panic until a voice yelled out “Hi Professor Esrey! He couldn’t have picked a worse night It seemed as though half of Temple’s student body of 17000 was in the house and they all knew the "Ol’ Prof” Joe Esrey ran all the way to his car with total disregard to 5th Street traffic He did the in 95 that night I write about him now only because my travel log tells me I spent an evening of wine sipping with him three years ago this week We talked about the Lake Poets and his favorite authoress Willa Cather And I remember his last words to me: “Let me hear from you when you ve decided you’ve become a writer” The man never did quit teaching |
