Evelyn Varden was a prominent stage, film and television character actress from 1910 through the late-1950s. She is probably best remembered for playing landlady Monica Breedlove in the 1955 cult classic “The Bad Seed” starring Nancy Kelly, Henry Jones and Patty McCormick.
Mae Evelyn Hall was born in June 1893 in Adair, Indian Territory. In 1867, the Delawares, once a powerful tribe, had been given rights within the Cherokee Nation. In March 1903, ten-year-old Delaware tribe member Hall, chose as part of her Cherokee Nation allotment forty acres of land near Bartlesville, soon to be one of the leading oil towns of Indian Territory. At first her tract appeared to be ordinary agricultural land, but subsequent development of the oil industry put it in the heart of a valuable oil field, and worth a large amount of money.
The Cherokee Allotment Act of 1902 provided that contests against selections of land in allotment must be instituted within nine months from the date of an allotment’s original selection of the land. Sometime after the allotment certificate had been issued to Hall, Ida M. Swannock instituted contest proceedings whereby she sought to obtain the land selected by Hall. She claimed that the nine months’ contest period didn’t apply to her.
Dawes Commissioner Tams Bixby ruled in Swannock’s favor and required Hall to return the allotment certificate. In 1907, Hall sued Secretary Garfield of the Interior Department to enjoin him from issuing a patent to the land to Swannock, require Commissioner Bixby to return her allotment certificate, and set aside contest proceedings on the grounds that the Dawes Commission had no jurisdiction whatever on the matter. The results of what was ultimately decided is unclear.
Hall’s acting career began when she was still a baby – in her aunts’ repertoire company, with her father as company…

New York, NY – Unceded territory of the Lenape – Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada
The strong voices of Indigenous youth are changing communities, challenging the status quo, and taking the lead in building a better, fairer, and more sustainable future for all people in Canada. Today, Indigenous leaders, youth, and community representatives, alongside Canadian federal officials and those from member states from around the world, came together for the opening of the 23rd session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII).
Over the span of 10 days, participants will gather as part of an ongoing international dialogue on Indigenous rights and issues across the globe. The Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, led Canada’s delegation to UNPFII, which includes First Nations, Inuit and Métis Elders and youth. This year’s theme, focused on emphasizing the voices of Indigenous youth, provides the opportunity for an inter-generational dialogue on a variety of topics, including the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Advocacy at the United Nations (UN) by Indigenous youth is essential given their diverse and valuable perspectives in areas such as enhancing the participation of Indigenous Peoples at the UN. Canada continues to support the goal of creating a new category for Indigenous participation at the UN since the issue was last negotiated in 2017.
To highlight the importance of dialogue, Minister Anandasangaree, the Tŝilhqot’in Nation, and the Indigenous Coordinating Body on Enhanced Participation co-hosted an event between Indigenous leaders and youth from across the globe. This event highlighted current efforts being made to promote the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in global policy and decision-making and to ensure that the unique perspectives, knowledge, and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples, including Indigenous youth, are brought to the forefront of…
The Who vocalist Roger Daltrey’s 2024 solo tour will include a June 23 date at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville.
According to a press release, Daltrey will play “a mostly acoustic set of Who gems, rarities, solo nuggets and other surprises with an intimate rock-based band and setting.” There will also be a Q&A element to the show, with Daltrey answering questions from the audience.
The opening act will be Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall, whose latest album is her 2023 collaboration with Suzi Quatro “Face to Face.”
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster, and if the show doesn’t sell out overnight, can be found at the Mohegan Sun box office on Saturday.
Daltrey has been a member of The Who since before they were named that, playing with guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend and bassist John Entwhistle in The Detours, as well as when The Who were briefly renamed The High Numbers (after enlisting their spirited drummer Keith Moon) to court the growing “Mod” movement of the mid-1960s.
Daltrey has also kept a simultaneous solo career going since the early 1970s. His early solo projects were used to showcase songwriters such as Leo Sayers and non-Who sounds, while more recently he has done some Who-themed solo projects and tours. His most recent solo album, “The Who’s ‘Tommy’ Orchestral,” was a live recording of a tour in which Daltrey sang songs from the band’s most famous rock opera. That tour visited the classical concert venue Tanglewood in Massachusetts.
Daltrey does not appear to have played a Connecticut casino solo since a series of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp” shows at Foxwoods in 2014. He also played Foxwoods that same year on a double bill with Joan Jett.
The Who last played Mohegan Sun in 2017. The band’s most…
