If you think there was no ‘social media’ in days gone by, think again. Even the most conservative media like Danish ‘Nationaltidende’ had their share of ‘posts’ as could be found in ‘Personalia’. On February 28th 1909 you could get your updates like these:
Vicar Jeun from Kristian’s Church is currently undergoing surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
Green consul, Willum Føns and mrs. Føns from Århus are currently in town (Copenhagen).
Operasinger Lindahl and wife, Østerbrogade 86, will celebrate their silver anniversary on on Tuesday.
Actress at the Dagmar Theatre, miss Stephanie Lindholm, daughter of late merchant A. J. Lindholm, was married to book merchant Arel Riesen yesterday at Tjudstrup Church.
Director Vilhelm Petersen, Nørrebro Theatre, who has for some time suffered from pneumonia, has now taken to bed.
Miss Hornung celebrates her 35th anniversary as housekeeper at widow Tillig, H.C. Ørstedsvej.
Merchant Adolph Seligmann will celebrate his 70th birthday next Tuesday.
The young dancer Carl Merrild, doing solos in ‘Far from Denmark’ had to call in sick yesterday due to measels. The young dancer Borgen took over at very short notice.
Other topics were often who hosted a charity ball, events with participation of members of the royal family, who was on the train to Paris or on holiday in Deauville… and funnily enough this column was on one of the stockmarket pages.
Quite a curious mix but very handy gossip when writing.
