Joe, Thank you for the link
to the great documentary. It was nice to see that they got stuff for it from the Library! I had read that he was very good to all who worked with and for him, but the remark from Samuel Gompers was the icing on the cake.
There is a name in the credits: "Hosmer." I don't know if any here have heard of Charles Hosmer Morse, but he is the electrical industrialist who was half of Fairbanks-Morse. This Hosmer must be a descendant. If any of you ever are in central Florida, in Winter Park, there is the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. It is full of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany, like unbelievably full and it is more than stained glass. The 1893 Columbian Exposition (World's Fair) featured a chapel designed by Tiffany with fabulous mosaics. The museum has assembled this chapel and designed a programmed pattern of lighting to accentuate each jewel-like feature. The chapel was never used for anything except as a show piece of what Tiffany Studios could provide and now it is in this museum for everyone to enjoy.
