Scott Joplin was a black American composer and pianist known as the "King of Ragtime" at the turn of the 20th century. Studying piano with teachers near his childhood home, Joplin traveled through the Midwest from the mid-1880s, performing at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Settling in Sedalia, MO, in 1895, he studied music at the George R. Smith College for Negroes and hoped for a career as a concert pianist and classical composer. His first published songs brought him fame, and in 1900 he moved to St. Louis to work more closely with the music publisher John Stark. Joplin published his first extended work, a ballet suite using the rhythmic devices of ragtime, with his own choreographic directions, in 1902. His first opera, "A Guest of Honor" (1903), was lost by the copyright office. Moving to New York City in 1907, Joplin wrote an instruction book, "The School Of Ragtime", outlining his complex bass patterns, sporadic syncopation, stop-time breaks and harmonic ideas that were being widely imitated and popularized. Joplin's contract with Stark ended in 1909, and though he made piano rolls in his final years, most of his efforts involved "Treemonisha", which synthesized his musical ideas into conventional, three-act opera. He also wrote the libretto, about a mythical black leader, and choreographed it. "Treemonisha" had only one semipublic performance during Joplin's lifetime; he became obsessed with its succeeding, suffered a nervous breakdown and collapse in 1911, and was institutionalized in 1916. His reputation as a composer rests on his classic rags for piano, including "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer", published from 1899 through 1909, and "Treemonisha", published at his own expense in 1911. It was well received when produced by an Atlanta, GA, troupe on Broadway in 1972, and interest in Joplin and ragtime was stimulated in the 1970s by the use of his music in the Academy Award-winning score to the film The Sting (1973).- Additional Crew

- Ultra-fundamentalist preacher Billy James Hargis was born in Texarkana, Texas, on August 3, 1925. At 18 years of age he was ordained as a minister in the Rose Hill Christian Church and later became a minister with the First Christian Church at various parishes in Oklahoma and Missouri. In 1947 he founded the Christian Crusade, an organization he said was dedicated to fighting Communism, atheismm and its allies. He also had radio and television programs that were carried by hundreds of stations throughout the US.
A close friend of Gen. Edwin Walker--an Army general later cashiered from the service when he was caught using training sessions to indoctrinate young troops in racist, anti-Semitic and ultra-right-wing politics--Hargis became a member of the far-right-wing John Birch Society. He used his radio and television broadcasts to promote right-wing political figures, and for a time was a speechwriter for the infamous Sen. Joseph McCarthy. In one of Hargis' more famous incidents, he traveled to West Germany in 1953 and launched 100,000 balloons with Bible verses tied to them across the border into Communist East Germany.
Hargis came to believe that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a conspiracy between American Communists and their Soviet "masters", and that the two were trying to place the blame on ultra-conservative political organizations, such as his. He became a fervent supporter of Barry Goldwater during the 1964 presidential campaign. On one of his radio broadcasts he accused a journalist of smearing Goldwater. When a station that carried Hargis' broadcast refused to let the journalist reply to the charges on the air, he sued, and won. From that case came the establishment of what became known as the "Fairness Doctrine".
In 1966 Hargis established the American Christian College in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as an alternative for Christian parents who didn't want to send their children to "secular" schools where they would come under the influences of what he called the "evils" of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, The Beatles, the women's liberation movement and long hair, which Hargis believed led to "rampant immorality". He also formed a college choir that he called "The All-American Kids" as an example of what clean-cut, moral American youth should be like. However, it wasn't long before stories began circulating that the main purpose of the "All-American Kids" was to keep Hargis provided with a steady supply of young sex partners. Those rumors were confirmed as fact in 1976 when Time magazine, which had been investigating the stories, found two former members of the choir--one male and one female--who had discovered on their wedding night that they had both been having sex with Hargis. Hargis vehemently denied the charges, but as a steady procession of former members of the "All-American Kids" choir, both male and female, came forward to corroborate the students' stories, and many others told their own stories of Hargis' sexual predations on both male and female members, he was forced to disband the "All-American Kids" and shut down American Christian College.
In spite of scandals such as these, Hargis still fervently pushed his ultra-right-wing fundamentalist Christian political beliefs, and published many books decrying Communist "influence" in everyday American life. He died in November of 2004. - Maxine Powell was born on 30 May 1915 in Texarkana, Texas, USA. She was an actress, known for Reunion (2010), E! Mysteries & Scandals (1998) and Soul Power! (2013).
