Show THE CITIZEN Theodore C. Dartholomae, prominent chemist and resident fo Chicago, as well as citizen of this country, is a descendant of prominent French and German families. He is a direct descendant of a French Duke, the family living in France at the time of the religious upheaval and they then moved to Germany. The picture herewith shows Barthol-oma- e playing the zither with a radio receiver near by, broadcasting the music. He is a lover of music, history and historical works of art. He is the proud possessor of a snuff box, formerly the property of Schiller, the famous German poet. In the upper right hand corner is a picture of Frederick the Great, a real miniature on the cover of the snuff box for which painting Frederick the Great posed in 1750. The back of the box is a family scene, also painted by the artist. This box is made of copper overlaid with porcelain all hand work and painted in the artistic and historical manner described. Schiller was the author of William Tell and numerous other historical writings and poems, and he was a great grand uncle of Mr. Bartholomae, on his fathers side. He is happy in the knowledge that Ills father, an intimate friend of Liszt and Rubenstein, was presented with several silver loving cups in a prize singing contest in Stuttgart in 1865. Bartholomae was born in Moeck-muelisituated in the former kingdom of Wuertenberg, Germany. The city is well known in history as being one of the earliest Roman settlements, and a Roman highway still usable and almost perfectly built by Julius Caesar passes near the city and through a ' deep forest. The city was also the home of the famous Knight Goetz Von Berlichingen who made it his headquarters owing to the wonderful de l, fensive power of the fortified city of seventy-tw- o towers, one tower still remaining intact, being named Goetzen-bur- g for him. Goethe immortalized Goetz in his drama Goetz Von Berlichingen. Bartholomae writes poetry and prose in English and German, being able to translate perfectly and at one time was a newspaper man. His poems have been published throughout the country, some appearing in Salt Lake papers in 1916. He is very much delighted with our wonderfully equipped K. S. L. station, and the efficiency of the staff of Messrs. Glade, Cope and Grover. This station is often heard as far as Alaska and the Hawiian islands. He broadcasted here August 26, his birthday, playing his famous zither and in return received many congratulatory letters from all parts of Utah and When In Salt Lake, Bartholon makes his home at the Hotel is greatly impressed with the splen cli beauty of the city, its ideal and the hospitality of the people.
