THE LATEST special exhibition at the Milwaukee ArtMuseum showcases the evolution of color photogra-phy in America, a groundbreaking look at a mediumthat continues to fascinate amateurs and artists.
Developed by the museum, Color Rush: 75 Years ofColor Photography in America captures the medium’sevolution throughout the first seven decades of the20th century, exploring the historical developmentsthat led to color photography becoming the norm inpopular culture and fine art.
With framed photographs, as well as publications,slide shows, and film clips, the exhibition presentsthe story of color photography in America as it hasnever been told before.
Color Rush charts—from magazine pages to gallerywalls, from advertisements to photojournalism—theinterconnected history of color photography in theUnited States from 1907 to 1981.
“Respectively, these years mark the introduction ofthe first commercially available color photographicprocess, the autochrome,” said Lisa Hostetler, co-curator of the exhibition, which will be at the muse-um through May 19.
The exhibition chronicles the growing acceptance ofcolor photography during those 74 years. Color pho-tography captured the popular imagination throughits visibility in magazines such as Life and Vogue, aswell as through its accessibility on the marketplace

Spring and Summer Fashions Arriving Daily
By ROGER STAFFORDKEY Milwaukee Managing Editor
IN MILWAUKEE, there are many reasons why the birthday ofCaptain Frederick Pabst, the city’s original beer baron, continues tobe celebrated more than a century after his death in 1904.
Consider the Captain’s legacies to his hometown:
• The Pabst Mansion, completed in 1892, continues to take visitorsback to America’s Gilded Age when the Captain occupied a spot atthe top of the brewing industry. It’s estimated that the FlemishRenaissance home at 2000 W. Wisconsin Ave. would have costmore than $32 million if built today.
• Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery, the former corporateheadquarters of Pabst Brewing Company, is being meticulouslyrestored by Jim Haertel, who purchased the building in 2001 andturned it into a major visitor attraction. Named for Phillip Best,Pabst’s father-in-law whose original brewery (1844) became PabstBrewing under the Capt. Pabst, the elaborate headquarters at 901W. Juneau Ave. was the center of the U.S. brewing industry fordecades after the Captain’s death.
• Although largely empty since Pabst Brewing left Milwaukee in1996, the complex of former brewery buildings is now beingrestored and occupied by a new tenants. Scheduled to open laterthis year is the Brewhouse Inn & Suites, a boutique hotel in thebuilding that once was the Pabst brewhouse. Brewing kettles and atwo-story stained glass window featuring King Gambrinus, theunofficial patron saint of beer, will remind visitors of the historicsetting.
• Other former Pabst buildings surrounding the hotel locationalready have been restored and are now occupied by apartments,offices, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Joseph J. ZilberSchool of Public Health and Cardinal Stritch University’s Collegeof Education and Leadership.
• The force behind redevelopment of the 21-acre Brewery Worksdevelopment was Milwaukee philanthropist Joseph Zilber, whosereal estate development company acquired the site in 2007. Zilberdied in 2010, but his organization continues to develop the site.The Brewery project is just one of the philanthropist’s many contri-butions to the future of his hometown. Others include major dona-tions to Marquette, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a10-year commitment aimed at improving the city’s poorest neigh-borhoods.

Events this month that will remind visitors of thePabst legacy include the celebration of CaptainPabst’s birthday at the Pabst Mansion March 28, fea-turing $2 tours all day, and Pabst Trivia Night from6-9 p.m. March 21 at Best Place at the Pabst Brewery.
Here are a few pieces of trivia to give you a headstart for Pabst Trivia Night:
• Frederick Pabst was not a military man. “Captain”referred to the fact that he was the captain of aLake Michigan steamship before marrying thedaughter of Milwaukee brewery owner PhilipBest.
• By 1874, eleven years after Pabst bought a halfinterest in Phillip Best Brewing, it was thenation’s largest brewer.
• Pabst beer originally was known as Best Beer. Thefamous Pabst Blue Ribbon name came after thebeer was recognized as the top lager beer inbrewing competitions that included the famedChicago World’s Fair of 1893.
• Now based in Los Angeles, Pabst Brewing todayis a holding company that contracts with brewersto produce Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schlitz (anotherhistoric Milwaukee brand that was once the lead-ing brew in the country) and other labels.
• And last, but far from least, Pabst Blue Ribbon isnow brewed to historic specifications byMillerCoors, where else but in its major facility inMilwaukee and other MillerCoors locations.MillerCoors also produces a portion of the Schlitzoutput in the city that was once described inadvertisements as (apologies to Capt. Pabst) “thebeer that made Milwaukee Famous.”
The Pabst Mansion is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.Mon.- Sat. and noon-4 p.m. Sun. Hourly guidedtours are provided on Tuesday, Wednesday andThursday. Self-guided tours are Friday throughMonday. Visit www.pabstmansion.com for addi-tional information.

Each has its ownunique environment that mirrors a particular kindof pub you might visit in Ireland. Trinity opens itsdoors every day during the workweek at 11 a.m.and at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday for IrishBrunch.
Foy’s décor includes framed prints, dark wood-work, and stained glass with Celtic symbols. Afour-sided bar is at the center of Foy’s, with comfybooths arranged around it. Settle in here, and youmay never want to leave! Signposts in the cornerspell out information in English and the Irish lan-guage (Gaeilge)…just as you would see in Ireland.
A hallway connects the middle pub, Gallagher’s, tothe other two pubs. The walls of the hallway recallthe artfully stacked “dry stone masonry” that is atreasured memory for every visitor to Ireland.Gallagher’s is the spot for live music. Unique toGallagher’s is the Jameson Bar, sporting rows ofbottles of the famed Irish whiskey.
Step into Duffy’s and you’ll swear you’ve beentransported to the Emerald Isle. This intimatespace, with bookshelves filled with leather volumesand a corner fireplace, has a patina that seemsdecades old.
The patio dining season is a couple of months awayin Milwaukee. But the patio’s gorgeous stone wallsstill greet visitors to Trinity • Three Irish Pubs. The

building’s colorful, painted exterior and the Celtic-style lettering on the signs transform the corner ofJuneau Avenue and Edison Street into a Dublinintersection.
The regular menu at Trinity • Three Irish Pubsfeatures dishes that highlight classic Irish ingredi-ents like Guinness Stout and smoked salmon.Other menu items might be featured at a pub inIreland, shepard’s pie and fish and chips. That sta-ple of U.S. celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day (cornedbeef) has been creatively incorporated into a num-ber of dishes. Sample it in Reuben rolls, andSham’s Irish nachos. The nachos pile thick cuthomemade potato chips with cheddar cheese,corned beef, scallions and Thousand Island sourcream sauce.
Salads include a grilled chicken Caesar and straw-berry pecan salad. The sandwich board features astacked club, Pot Roast Sandwich, Molly’sChicken Sandwich and pub cheeseburger.
Weekends, a special brunch menu is served 10a.m.-3 p.m. Options include the breakfast youwould find in an Irish guesthouse. Come hungryto enjoy two fried eggs served with Irish bacon,sausage, Trinity potatoes, roasted tomato andtoast.

Need an eye-opener of the alcoholic variety? We recommendthe fabulous Bloody Mary. Trinity’s versionincludes a splash of Guinness.
While draft beers here include Guinness, Harp,Smithwicks and Strongbow, local brew-heads wouldadvise the sampling of Water Street Brewery Beers aswell – ask what beers by this local micro brewer areavailable.
This wouldn’t be a true Irish gathering place withoutlive music. Popular local acts are featured at 10 p.m.every Friday and Saturday, and during March evenmore is planned (see our St. Patrick’s events andAfter Dark features).
