Welcome to Cape May MAC! With Governor Murphy’s recent announcements that indoor occupancies can extend to 50% of normal capacity (max of 250) and outdoor gatherings can now include 500, the summer forecast for successful Cape May MAC events is looking even brighter. Our 32nd Annual Cape May Music Festival will kick off the “traditional” summer season on Sunday evening, May 30, with the Atlantic Brass Band performing a free concert at Rotary Park. The consortium of the Bay Atlantic Symphony and the New York Chamber Ensemble will present two live concerts on the grounds of the Emlen Physick Estate on June 3 and June 17. The Friends of the Cape May Music Festival will host “A Musical Intermezzo,” their fund-raising event, on June 16. The live 2021 Cape May Music Festival performances will round-out with Paula Johns at the Estate on June 27. See Page 45 for more information. Cape May MAC is open for business, whether it be the Music Festival, our Physick House Museum or trolley tours, the Cape May Lighthouse, the World War II Lookout Tower, and a bevy of special events. Check our calendars to see all that’s going on while you’re here in America’s First Seaside Resort. Jody Alessandrine, Director/CEO

Also visit the Estate’s Carriage House to see “50 Years of MAC” exhibit in the Carroll Gallery (see page 22). The first floor of the Physick House Museum is fully accessible.

This Old House PRESERVATION OF THE PHYSICK ESTATE Each year, our tour of the Physick House Museum highlights a particular aspect of Victorian life and culture. In honor of Cape May MAC’s recent 50th anniversary, our tours will focus on the Physick House itself. It is fitting, since this is where Cape May MAC began, in its efforts to save the house from the wrecking ball. You will learn of the mansion’s years as a grand residence for the Physick family, to its tragic decline and near demolition and, finally, to its rise as a fully-restored historic landmark. Come join us to learn the compelling story of its life.

50 Years of

MAC

The 50-year journey of the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) began in 1970 when a small group of dedicated neighbors joined together to save the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate from the wrecker’s ball. Over the years, the organization’s efforts have continued, restoring and opening both the Cape May Lighthouse and the World War II Lookout Tower. Those years also included thousands of special events and tours, all of which contributed to make Cape May MAC Cape May’s leader in heritage tourism, educational outreach, historic preservation and cultural enrichment.

Join us as we commemorate those 50 years in words and photos at our

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION EXHIBIT

at the Carroll Gallery in the Carriage House, 1048 Washington St.

Makeup was considered gauche for a society woman to wear, as it was used mostly by prostitutes. One judge even proclaimed lipstick to be similar to witchcraft, in that it had the ability to seduce men. If you were a society woman, you would probably pinch your cheeks in an attempt to give yourself a glow, and you might use cold cream to appear youthful and dewy. If you felt risqué, you might apply the tiniest amount of rouge to your cheeks. 28

Bottling tears

It wasn’t just Queen Victoria mourning her husband—mourning was a serious business in the Victorian Era. Beautiful, elaborate mourning jewelry would be created for women in mourning, which would incorporate onyx or jet (both black stones) and braided hair from the deceased. Tears cried for the deceased would be collected in bottles, and if you were a bachelor who didn’t leave a widow behind, you could always hire a local blonde woman to wail at your grave and make it seem like you were adored. 39
