Peter Herman Adler (2 December 1899, Gablonz an der Neiße, Bohemia – 2 October 1990, Ridgefield, Connecticut) was an American conductor born in Austria–Hungary in Gablonz an der Neiße, which is now in the Czech Republic. While at the Prague Conservatory, Adler studied with Vítězslav Novák, Fidelio Finke, and Alexander von Zemlinsky.[1] He was the music and artistic director of the NBC Opera Theatre (1950–1964) and the National Educational Television. He was a pioneer of televised broadcast of opera, commissioning such works as Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors and Maria Golovin, Norman Dello Joio's The Trial at Rouen, and Bohuslav Martinů's The Marriage; Jack Beeson's My Heart's in the Highlands, Thomas Pasatieri's The Trial of Mary Lincoln and Hans Werner Henze's La Cubana. He was also involved in the early career development of such singers as Leontyne Price, George London and Mario Lanza. He later conducted the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra from 1959 to 1968. He conducted the United States premiere of Ernst Bloch's opera MacBeth at the Juilliard School in May 1973.[2] He made only one foray into movies, adapting the music for "The Great Caruso" in 1950, for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

  • Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made a trip to Campobello Island in June 1933 on Schooner Amberjack II (45’) chartered by his son, James, for the trip. Eleanor Roosevelt traveled by car with her friends, Nancy Cook and Marion Dickerman, to open up the cottage at Campobello and prepare for Franklin’s arrival. "When [Eleanor, Nancy and Marion] arrived at Mary Dreier’s home on Mount Desert Island in Maine, ER discovered that a large party was planned for the next afternoon, and she wrote in dismay: ‘I don’t dare tell Nan, but this is not my idea of a holiday!’ The next morning ER awoke to discover that ‘FDR and the whole fleet’ had anchored outside Mary Dreier’s home in Southwest Harbor. ER worried that it was ‘rather overpowering for Mary Dreier, but she seemed pleased.’ ER’s three sons went ashore for breakfast, and FDR invited ER and her party aboard the Amberjack II for lunch. By all accounts it was a ’joyous reunion,’ and nobody discussed the London Economic Conference. After FDR’s detour to Mary Dreier, he continued his cruise while ER headed directly for Campobello to make beds and prepare the great welcoming picnic to celebrate FDR’s first visit in twelve years…" - "Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume II, The Defining Years," 1933-1938 by Blanche Wiesen Cook, Viking, 1999, Unpaged – Chapter 6, “Family Discord and the London Economic Conference.” "Miss Nancy Cook of New York City is at the Old Fernald homestead at Fernald Point for the season. Miss Cook is associated with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt in a furniture manufacturing business in that city." - The Bar Harbor Times, July 19, 1933 Cook - Nancy Cook (1884-1962)
