It was dubbed the royal wedding of the year and it did not disappoint. More than 1,700 guests, including British royals and world leaders, descended on the Jordanian capital on Thursday to see a Saudi billionaire’s daughter ride a custom Rolls-Royce to her wedding to the nation’s crown prince. Among the big names in attendance were Prince William and Princess Kate of the British royal family and United States first lady Jill Biden. Also present at the Zahran Palace were U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, Princess Charlotte, and royals from Belgium, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands and Japan, Sky News reported. William and Kate’s appearance at the wedding remained under wraps until they were seen at a hotel in the capital on Wednesday. The pair met with Jordan’s king and queen before settling in to watch Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II exchange rings with Saudi architect Rajwa Alseif in a much-hyped union. Alseif—now officially known as Her Royal Highness Princess Rajwa … [Read more...] about William and Kate Party on With 1,700 Guests at Royal Wedding of the Year

It was the greatest gathering of royals outside of a major coronation: the wedding of Hussein, the crown prince of Jordan, to Rajwa Al Saif. It was also a striking display of the power of modest fashion, as guests including Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Princess Beatrice of Britain and various other attendees wore long gowns with airy capes flying off their shoulders, or draped, fluted sleeves, in recognition of Jordanian mores. Queen Rania wore a high-neck black Dior dress with gold-toned embroidery on the back and at the wrists and throat. Catherine, Princess of Wales, accompanied by her husband, Prince William, had on a similar style in blush pink, with embroidery at the bodice, by the Lebanese designer Elie Saab. Mr. Saab also made the bride’s wedding gown, a stately sheath with an asymmetric neckline, a draped bodice and what looked like an acres-long overskirt, its grandeur just slightly subverted by the fact that Ms. Al … [Read more...] about Capes, Couture and Prince William at the Royal Wedding in Jordan

close Video American boatbuilder Andrew Jackson Higgins is 'the man who won' World War II – here’s his victorious story Andrew Jackson Higgins built shallow-draft boats in New Orleans for Delta oilmen and trappers in the 1930s; his military-grade version fueled America’s unstoppable amphibious attacks across the globe in World War II, from Normandy to Iwo Jima. Andrew Jackson Higgins was born and raised 1,000 miles from the ocean, yet forever changed war fought from sea. He designed and manufactured the iconic World War II amphibious landing craft that delivered Allied troops onto hostile beachheads from North Africa to Normandy to Iwo Jima and countless battle zones in between. Higgins "is the man who won the war for us," Dwight D. Eisenhower said in a 1964 interview with historian Stephen Ambrose. It’s astonishing praise from the highest authority.

THERE comes a time when a satirical writer, if he's really out for blood, must stop clowning around and move in for the kill. That unmistakable moment of truth arrives about halfway through ''The Colored Museum,'' the wild new evening of black black humor at the Public Theater. In a sketch titled ''The Last Mama-on-the-Couch Play,'' the author, George C. Wolfe, says the unthinkable, … [Read more...] about STAGE: ‘COLORED MUSEUM,’ SATIRE BY GEORGE C. WOLFE

For decades, the seven reels from 1913 lay unexamined in the film archives of the Museum of Modern Art. Now, after years of research, a historic find has emerged: what MoMA curators say is the earliest surviving footage for a feature film with a black cast. It is a rare visual depiction of middle-class black characters from an era when lynchings and stereotyped black images were commonplace. What’s more, the material features Bert Williams, the first black superstar on Broadway. Williams appears in blackface in the untitled silent film along with a roster of actors from the sparsely documented community of black performers in Harlem on the cusp of the Harlem Renaissance. Remarkably, the reels also capture behind-the-scenes interactions between these performers and the directors. MoMA plans an exhibition around the work called “100 Years in Post-Production: Resurrecting a Lost Landmark of Black Film History,” which is to open on Oct. 24 and showcase excerpts and still frames.
