Kids take to the Gardens BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I When Lisa Reichenberger was young, she didn’t know she could spend her days working alongside flora and fauna surrounding a 100-year-old mansion. Now, Reichenberger is the director of environmental education at Old Westbury Gardens and is focused on bringing more children into the former Phipps mansion and 200 acres of formal gardens and woods both during school field trips and during the weekends. Old Westbury Gardens recently started the Kids Pass Program option for $50 per year. Unlike the family membership, which includes admission for two adults and any number of children for $80, the new Kids Pass is an option allowing one adult, which can be a parent, a grandparent, an aunt or uncle or a family friend, the ability to bring children to the gardens every Saturday. “We just really want more people to know about the great kids programs we’re doing here and think of us as a place to come to get outside on a beautiful day to walk around, see the gardens and learn a little bit about history while having fun,” Old Westbury Gardens President Nancy Costopulos said. Every Saturday, Old Westbury Gardens hosts a Weekend Wake Up! program for children, ranging from storybook strolls through the gardens for ages 3 through 5 and hands-on nature crafts for all ages to recipe tastings from the on-site vegetable garden and solving an Old Westbury whodunit mystery for children 8 years old and older. When a month has five Saturdays, Reichenberger said the day is dedicated to getting active outside with the families. The Kids Pass also includes 10 percent off children’s items in the gift shop, 10 percent off summer camp registration and admission to KidsFest on Sept. 16, which draws about 1,000 visitors every year, Reichenberger said. Old Westbury Gardens’s one-week summer day camps begin July 9 for ages 6 through 9 with a different theme every week. The first week is the Land Lovers Science session, followed by the Fresh Takes Natural Art session and the Decade Detectives History session. The final week, beginning July 30, is called Changemakers: Future Museum Professionals for ages 10 through 13. “So many people tell us they came when they were children, and now they’re returning with their own children,” Reichenberger said. “This is the first touch point we have with the next generation, and we want to make it a positive experience. There’s so much beauty out there to discover. It’s a great place to get hands-on, whether you’re smelling a rose or seeing a chipmunk. There’s a little something for everyone.”

Fitzgerald thru eyes of his publisher BY G R AC E M CQ UA D E “Reading is a means of thinking with another person’s mind. It forces you to stretch your own… there’s no substitute for one human mind meeting another on the page of a well-written book.” Those were the eloquent words Charles Scribner III shared while referencing his late father at the start of a talk he recently gave at the Nassau County Museum of Art, one of many inspired events the museum is hosting this season to coincide with the exhibit, Anything Goes: The Jazz Age. The name Scribner has graced bookshelves for more than a century and a half. Since its founding in 1846, the publishing company, known for many years as Charles Scribner’s Sons, has introduced the works of literary icons including Hemingway, Wharton, Wolfe, and Vonnegut, as well as F. Scott Fitzgerald, the subject Scribner’s lecture. In his introduction, Museum Director Charles Riley called this fourth generation Scribner and Princeton graduate “a speaker of another time… of a better time.” That proved true as Scribner delivered an artfully composed talk about Fitzgerald and his close connection to the author who masterfully depicted the magical era in which he lived. “Fitzgerald’s life and career bounced between success and setbacks like the alternating current of major and minor keys in a Mozart symphony,” Scribner said.
Francis Cugat’s “Celestial Eyes” hangs alongside “The Great Gatsby” book cover it inspired in the "Anything Goes: Jazz Age" exhibit at the Nassau County Museum of Art through July 8. Born in 1896 on the cusp of a new century, Scribner described Fitzgerald’s work as reflecting both “the romantic dreams and lyricism of 19th century America” and “the syncopated jazz of the 20th.” “From his earliest days, Scott wanted nothing more than to be a writer,” said Scribner. He saw his first mystery in print at the age of 13, and wrote musical comedies for Princeton University’s theatre troupe, the Triangle Club, before flunking out. “Chemistry was the culprit,” Scribner revealed.
So Fitzgerald joined the army and wrote his first novel, “This Side of Paradise,” his youthful ode to Princeton, infusing “the greenery and gothic spires with a spirit, with a soul, with life,” Scribner said. Scribner’s great-grandfather turned the book down twice, but after several revisions he signed Fitzgerald up in 1919 under the guidance of the talented young editor, Maxwell Perkins. The book was published the following year and was a literary success. Scribner recalls the first time he read
this novel when he was a freshman at Princeton in 1969. Not fond of the “big impersonal place” compared to his boarding school, he said, “Well, for me it was not love at first sight,” referring to his early days at the university, “but thanks to Fitzgerald it was love at first reading.” During his sophomore year, Scribner read Fitzgerald’s short story, “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,” saying, “… when I first encountered that literary jewel … it was an evening train ride from Princeton to Philadelphia and that commute was converted into a fantastic voyage fueled, I have to confess, by a little pewter flask I brought along.” Upon earning degrees in art history and transitioning into the family business, Scribner said that Fitzgerald continued to inspire his life when he started out as a fledgling editor. “Ensconced at Max Perkins’ old desk at Scribner’s, which I was given because the senior editor complained that it ran her stockings, I dreamed up as my first book project in 1975 a revival of Fitzgerald’s obscure and star-crossed play ‘The Vegetable, or From President to Postman,’ which featured a presidential impeachment.” Ironically, the play opened at Nixon’s Apollo Theatre in Atlantic City. Unfortunately for Fitzgerald, it quickly closed. Scribner said the following about the supposed failure, “Fitzgerald considered his year and a half on ‘The Vegetable’ a complete waste, but Continued on Page 36

er and conductor, especially in his native Italy, and has been recognized as “following in the footsteps of Ottorino Respighi” after a commission from the Bolognese composer’s family.

In addition to Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27, the concert will celebrate the launching of the Piano Concerto Award of The Respighi Prize music competition featuring Adelphi’s Fazioli Pianoforte (Venice).

Fitzgerald thru eyes of his publisher Continued from Page 34 I disagree for he followed it with a new novel written with all the economy and tight structure of a successful play.” This book was “The Great Gatsby,” the bittersweet story of a newly minted millionaire desperate for a love he can no longer have. “Both ‘The Vegetable’ and ‘Gatsby’ shared the theme of the American dream, first as a spoof for a comedy, then a light motif for a lyric novel,” Scribner said. Fitzgerald shared the idea for his new novel with Perkins in 1922. “I want to write something new, something extraordinary, and beautiful, and simple, and intricately patterned,” Scribner quoted Fitzgerald saying. “He succeeded in spades,” Scribner said, but not without a number of changes to the manuscript on its road to publication. The novel many have come to associate with the

North Shore of Long Island during the Roaring Twenties was actually originally set in the Midwest and New York around 1885, Scribner said. The setting may have changed when Fitzgerald began to write the first draft in 1923 in the house he and his wife Zelda were renting at the time in Great Neck. The following year, Fitzgerald wrote to Perkins that he was working on a new angle in Gatsby’s story. “I think he meant by that through the eyes of that inspiring narrator Nick Carraway,” Scribner said. Then seven months before publication, Perkins commissioned the artist Francis Cugat to design the book cover. The initial sketches included images of the Long Island Railroad, faces like balloons in the sky, and carnival lights, which Scribner said most likely influenced Fitzgerald’s pervasive use of light throughout the novel, specifically Carraway’s descriptions of Gatsby’s place lit up like the World’s Fair and Daisy Buchanan’s “bright

Despite his story’s evolution, Scribner said that “Fitzgerald never abandoned his determination to limit the timeframe, giving sharper focus to the plot and characters than he’d done in his two earlier novels.” The novel’s title, however, was the subject of frequent debate, going from “Among Ash Heaps and Millionaires,” to “Trimalchio in West Egg” after Fitzgerald’s sojourn in Rome in the fall of 1924, to “Under the Red, White and Blue” when he was in Paris a mere three weeks before publication date. Too late to make the change, Perkins’ favorite title, which he said was “effective and suggestive,” was restored, and “The Great Gatsby” was published on April 10, 1925. “The reviews were mixed,” Scribner said. The New York World called the book “a dud.” The renowned critic H.L. Mencken thought the story was inferior, but said “there are pages so artfully contrived that one can no more imagine improvising them than one can imagine improvising a Bach fugue.” In its first year of publication, “Gatsby” didn’t achieve the commercial

F. Scott Fitzgerald
success of his first two novels, “This Side of Paradise” and “The Beautiful and the Damned.” And in the years to come, time wasn’t on Fitzgerald’s side. The Jazz Age soon ushered in the Great Depression, and the party times led to bread lines, Scribner said, making Fitzgerald’s story filled with flappers and lavish galas “politically incorrect.” “His fleeting literary fortunes, a dozen years of commercial success followed by distractions and disappointments… it all ended in 1940 with a fatal heart attack at the age of 44,” Scribner said. “He was then hard at work on ‘The Last Tycoon,’ the Hollywood novel he hoped would restore his reputation.” Through the years, the Scribner sons each did their part to support Fitzgerald and his literature. Scribner’s grandfather not only published Fitzgerald, he was his contemporary and close friend. Scribner’s father oversaw a resurgence of interest in Fitzgerald in the 1950s when the country was booming again. And Scribner not only reissued Fitzgerald works decades later, he also revived the original “Gatsby” book cover, one of the most celebrated pieces of art in American literature now on display in Roslyn. Today, the places made famous by Fitzgerald are much different, says Scribner. The Valley of Ashes that he so vividly described in “Gatsby” is Citi Field. The house on Manhasset Bay in Sands Point that is believed to be the model for the Buchanans’ estate has been torn down. And Riley, in his opening remarks, lamented that Scribner’s historic office building on Fifth Avenue is now a Lululemon. What hasn’t changed, however, since the middle part of the last century is the continued fascination in Fitzgerald. “More copies of Fitzgerald books are now sold every fortnight than the entire cumulative sales of his lifetime,” Scribner said, and his books are widely translated in many languages. Princeton University Library’s archives of Fitzgerald’s papers, once turned down, are the most
widely consulted holdings by scholars from across the globe. There have been five big screen adaptations of “The Great Gatsby” from the 1926 silent film to the 2013 rap-rock opera starring Leonardo DiCaprio, although Scribner’s favorite is the lesser-known BBC/A&E version featuring Toby Stephens, the son of “Downton Abbey’s” Maggie Smith. And Fitzgerald’s novels and stories are still studied in high schools and colleges around the world. For Scribner, the key to Fitzgerald’s enduring enchantment “lies in the power of his romantic imagination to transfigure his characters and settings, as well as the very shape and sound of his prose… the ultimate effect, once the initial reverberation of imagery and language have subsided, transcends the bounds of fiction,” he says. Fitzgerald summed up his own theory of writing in one sentence: “An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.” So perhaps Fitzgerald’s lasting legacy lies with young readers of today and tomorrow. While teaching a freshman class at New York University several years ago, Scribner discussed what makes a classic novel and asked the class if they thought “The Great Gatsby” was overrated. One student raised his hand and said yes because his idea of a classic was a long, 600-page saga like “Gone with the Wind.” When Scribner proceeded to ask the student what he thought Fitzgerald was missing to prevent “Gatsby” from being included in this category, he responded, “Well, you know, he left out those long boring sections you have to read through before you get to the next moment.” “So that’s a classic,” Scribner said… as we look hopefully into the future.

Deconstructed Chef’s Salad poolside This time of year we love to entertain “al fresco.” Dining outdoors is so relaxing and enjoyable, especially if you plan a make-ahead meal that can be brought out in a moments’ notice. I love making and serving cold soups this time of year; they are so refreshing. Garnish with a squiggle of non-fat yogurt or full fat sour cream (depending on your waistline) and you have a dramatic first course. For the entree, I like to offer at least two main salads and then fill out the meal with a vibrant display of fresh, organic salad ingredients that are available in local farmers markets. Round out the meal with a big bowl of cold bing cherries…don’t forget to have an empty bowl for the pits! For beverages, nothing says summer like a chilled bottle of Rose wine and an iced cold pitcher of water. Everything may be made and plattered ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until your guests are hungry. So enjoy a swim, a delicious meal and your friends’ company.
