Zhay Clark[edit]

Zhay Clark was my aunt, my mother's sister. I have digitized photographs of her, some that are from the New York Public Library performance collection, that they gave my daughter and me in return for my contribution to the library of those physical photos and other materials left by my mother, Ruth Lucile Clark Lucas (1897-1966, also a harpist but morphing into a radio disk jockey and producer of a show starring Gayne Whitman). I will be happy to give digital versions of photographs to Wikipedia, along with any other materials I can dig up. I very much appreciate it that this page was created, although I wish there were one for my mother. By the way, Weyert Moor was also a conductor. He was Dutch, and by the way they were still living in Glendale during the 1940s, because my mother and father used to visit them there. I believe it was Zhay (whose birth name was Evelyn) who brought my mother and me to a Hollywood studio to join a lineup as a child to play the child version of an actor. In any case she coached me in a few chords on her harp (in a room of the studio) in case they wanted to see me play. I never, to my knowledge, heard or saw her play otherwise, however. Really good job on documentation of the Web page. I wonder if it would be possible to collaborate with the creator (or someone else--I've been to an edit-a-thon and know how that is) on a page for my mother. I'm also in the LA area but still isolating due to the pandemic, working currently full time remote for USC as a metadata librarian. Arel Lucas (talk) 19:07, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
