Here was a man who was both equipped and disposed to be the most considerable Maecenas in the history of our theater, wrote Alexander Woollcott. It is the man behind that legend whom Mary Jane Matz brings. to life in this spirited biography. Otto Kahn, The King of New York in the twenties, had virtually created the city's new Metropolitan Opera with his enormous energy and financial backing. He was responsible for introducing Stanislavski, Nijinski, the Abbey Players, the Moscow Art Theater, and practically every other important personage and event in the most vigorous era of American theatrical history. He subsidized, sponsored, and had close relationships with Toscanini, Caruso, Chaliapin, Pavlova, Pirandello, Eugene O'Neill, Paul Robeson, Grace Moore, and hundreds of other artists whose names are now part of that history. This was the Otto Kahn whose fame lives on today-the man who was an activating force in American opera and theater for more than two decades. But there was another Otto Kahn, now less well known, who was more than a theatrical patron. The other Otto Kahn had amassed a banking fortune through his perspicuity and integrity in the era of unbridled Big Business, and had gone on to win the respect of the nation with his political, economic, and humanitarian activities in the First World War and its boom-and-bust aftermath. That Otto Kahn, a partner in the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb, was often accused of being a socialist.

In the early decades of the twentieth century, almost everyone in modern theater, literature, or film knew of Otto Kahn (1867-1934), and those who read the financial press or followed the news from Wall Street could scarcely have missed his name. A partner at one of America's premier private banks, he played a leading role in reorganizing the U.S. railroad system and supporting the Allied war effort in World War I. The German-Jewish Kahn was also perhaps the most influential patron of the arts the nation has ever seen: he helped finance the Metropolitan Opera, brought the Ballets Russes to America, and bankrolled such promising young talent as poet Hart Crane, the Provincetown Players, and the editors of the Little Review. This book is the full-scale biography Kahn has long deserved. Theresa Collins chronicles Kahn's life and times and reveals his singular place at the intersection of capitalism and modernity. Drawing on research in private correspondence, congressional testimony, and other sources, she paints a fascinating portrait of the figure whose seemingly incongruous identities as benefactor and banker inspired the New York Times to dub him the "Man of Velvet and Steel."

'Right Above Race' is an essay written by a German-American businessman and philanthropist, Otto Hermann Kahn. It was written during World War I and is meant to convey his perspective on why it's important for the U.S. to be engaged in said war. As Kahn puts it on his own words: "Speaking as one born of German parents, I do not hesitate to state it as my deep conviction that the greatest service which[Pg 6] men of German birth or antecedents can render to the country of their origin is this: To proclaim, and to stand up for those great ideals and national qualities and traditions which they inherited from their ancestors, and to set their faces like flint against the monstrous doctrines and acts of a rulership that has robbed them of the Germany they loved and in which they took just pride, the Germany which had the good-will, respect and admiration of the entire world."

The KAHNS of Fifth Avenue: the Crazy Rhythm of Otto Hermann Kahn and the Kahn Family It was a time when money was plentiful. Dreams were hung on the wind. Those that had talent flaunted it, those that hadn't bought it. Alcohol danced to the rhythm of Prohibition. This was the Roaring Twenties and boy did they roar as no decade had done before. Jazz was all the rage. In New York City, at the center of the revelry was the Kahn family; banker and philanthropist Otto Hermann Kahn, his beautiful wife Addie, and their four spirited offspring, Maud, Margaret, Gilbert, and Roger. Theirs was a family of extravagance. For them, the 1920s inspired more dreams than they could have dared to imagine. With the gaiety came a price tag, accompanied by a soundtrack of jazz ... so much jazz. Merchant banker Otto Hermann Kahn was one of America's most generous patrons of the arts; he was also chairman of the Metropolitan Opera Company and a connoisseur of Europe's avant-garde. When his teenage son, Roger, took up the baton as a bandleader, Otto and Addie hit the roof. Stories of the family's subsequent bickering and infighting graced the headlines for months. From that moment onwards, the Kahns became public property. Throughout the 1920s and '30s, their scandals, lawsuits, marriages, divorces, and deaths were splashed across the tabloids. So what really went on behind the closed doors of the Kahns' magnificent mansions? Where did all their wealth come from, and where did it go? And did Otto Kahn purchase a secret stash of stocks using an alias? These questions and more are answered in The KAHNS of Fifth Avenue: the true story of a family that dared to dream big. www.thekahnsoffifthavenue.com
