- H.H. Asquith, considered the founder of the British welfare state, was the prime minister of the United Kingdom who led the British Empire into the monumental debacle that was World War I.
The son of a cloth merchant, Henry Herbert Asquith was born in Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England and attended Balliol College, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. After graduation he became a barrister and was called to the bar in 1876. He married Helen Kelsall Melland, the daughter of a Manchester physician, in 1877. By the early 1880s he had become financially well-off from his law practice, enough so to consider politics (members of Parliament were not paid a real salary until the 1970s). He was first elected to Parliament in 1886, standing as the Liberal candidate for East Fife, Scotland.
His first wife gave him four sons and one daughter before dying from typhoid in 1891. He remarried in 1894, taking Margot Tennant, the daughter of Sir Charles Tennant, 1st Baronet, as his second wife. She bore several children, but only a son and daughter survived into adulthood. Asquith was called Herbert by his family, but his second wife called him Henry, and those who called him by his Christian name made the switch. However, in public he was addressed only as H.H. Asquith.
In 1892 he became Home Secretary during William Gladstone's last government (as Home Secretary Asquith signed the arrest order for Oscar Wilde, who was eventually incarcerated for lewd behavior). Three years after the Liberals went out of power in 1895, he was offered the party leadership but turned it down. After the Liberals' landslide victory in the 1906 general election, he became Chancellor of the Exchequer under Campbell Bannerman, a post in which he proved a stalwart proponent of free trade. Bannerman resigned the premiership due to illness in April 1908 and Asquith succeeded him, becoming the first member of the professional middle class to serve as Prime Minister.
His first government launched a guns-and-butter legislative programme, building up the British Navy in an arms race with Germany while introducing social welfare programmes. Asquith can be considered the father of the British welfare state, as his government introduced government pensions in 1908. The programme was fiercely resisted by the Tories, which provoked a constitutional crisis in 1909 when the Conservative majority in the House of Lords rejected the government's "People's Budget." Traditionally finance was the province of the House of Commons, and the resulting constitutional crisis forced a general election in January 1910. Though the Liberals were returned to government with a majority, their numbers in the Commons were much reduced, and the crisis continued.
King Edward VII consented to filling the House of Lords with freshly-minted Liberal peers, who would override the Lords' veto, if Asquith agreed to hold another general election, after which he would act if the impasse continued. However, Edward VII died in May 1910, before the second general election. Asquith had to use his considerable powers of persuasion to get Edward's successor, King George V, to agree to the plan. The new king was hesitant, as packing the Lords would undermine the power of the hereditary aristocracy. Before the December 1910 general election (the last held for eight years), Asquith's persuasion paid off, and George V agreed to pack the House of Lords. The Liberals won their second election of 1910, though the balance of power in the government rested with peers from Ireland, who demanded a Home Rule bill as the price of support for Asquith's third government.
The Parliament Act of 1911 circumscribed the legislative power of the House of Lords, as the upper chamber of Parliament was limited to delaying, but not defeating outright, any bill passed by the House of Commons. Asquith paid off the Irish block with the Third Irish Home Rule Bill, which achieved Royal Assent in late 1914, though implementation of the law was suspended for the duration of World War I, which the UK had become involved in due to a spider web of treaties. The Irish question remained a tinderbox, and while civil war in Ireland over the fate of Ulster was averted in 1914 by the outbreak of the war in Europe, simmering tensions would lead to the Easter Rebellion of 1916, which would prove to be one of the factors that contributed to Asquith's loss of power. The other was the war.
In May 1915 the Cabinet split over a scandal involving the dearth of munitions available at the front. Asquith ultimately was held responsible for the shortcomings in British war production. The "Shell Crisis" underscored the need for the British economy to be put on a wartime footing. Responding to the discord, Asquith formed a new government, creating a national coalition that included members of the Opposition (though an election should have been held in 1915, elections were suspended for the duration of the war). David Lloyd George, the most dynamic of the Liberal ministers from the old cabinet, was made minister of munitions.
The new coalition government did nothing to bolster Asquith's premiership. Both Liberals and Tories criticized his performance over the conduct of the war and assigned him some of the blame for the failed offensives at the Somme (in which Asquith's eldest son Raymond died) and Gallipoli (which led to the resignation of Winston Churchill, then a Liberal MP, as First Sea Lord). He was also blamed for his handling of the armed Easter Rebellion of Irish Catholics in Dublin in April 1916 and the resulting civil war. The Machiavellian Lloyd George undermined Asquith by splitting the Liberal Party into pro- and anti-Asquith factions. The result was that Asquith resigned as prime minister on December 5, 1916, and was succeeded by Lloyd George.
After resigning, Asquith continued in his post as Liberal Party leader, even after losing his seat in the 1918 elections. He returned to the House of Commons in a 1920 by-election and played a key role in helping the Labour Party form a minority in 1924, which gave Ramsay MacDonald his first--though short-lived--premiership.
The minority Labour government fell in 1924, and in the subsequent election won by the Tories, Asquith lost his seat in the Commons. He was raised to the hereditary peerage as Viscount Asquith, of Morley in the West Riding of the County of York, and Earl of Oxford and Asquith in 1925. Asquith moved over to the House of Lords and finally resigned the Liberal Party leadership in 1926. He died in 1928.
Violet Bonham Carter (maiden name Violet Asquith), Asquith's only daughter by his first wife, was a successful writer who was made a Life Peeress in her own right (she is the grandmother of Oscar-nominated actress Helena Bonham Carter). His son Cyril became a Law Lord, and two other sons married well, one being the poet Herbert Asquith. His two children by Margot were Elizabeth (later Princess Antoine Bibesco), a writer, and Anthony Asquith, a well-regarded film director. - Composer

He was not only an actor but a director, and guided many upper-echelon films for Vitagraph, often starring in them. He was one of the first directors to use close-ups creatively, for which he was savaged by contemporary critics. He retired from directing in 1913, but continued acting until shortly before his death.- Ida Waterman was born on 10 March 1852 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

- English novelist and poet John Oxenham was born William Arthur Dunkerley in Manchester, England, in 1852. His entry into the literary world was not as a writer but as a publisher; with several partners he started the publication "The Idler", and later on the weekly "To-Day". He traveled extensively in Europe, Canada and the US as part of his publishing duties, but eventually decided he wanted to be a writer more than he did a publisher, and in 1913 he finished "Bees in Amber". However, his publisher would not spend a penny promoting it, and even asked that he limit the book to no more than 200 copies, as they knew they could not sell that many. He eventually printed the book at his own expense; it wound up selling almost 300,000 copies. During World War I he self-published several volumes of poetry, and together they sold over a million copies. He also wrote a song called "Hymn for the Men at the Front" that eventually sold more than 8,000,000 copies. Altogether he has published more than 40 novels, poetry books and essays.
He died on January 23, 1941, in Worthing, England. - Actor

British dramatist, composer and pageant master Louis Napoleon Parker was born in Calvados, France, in 1852. His father, Charles Albert Parker, was a well-to-do American lawyer, a son of Isaac Parker, chief justice of Massachusetts. At the age of 39, in 1840, Charles left America with his much younger English wife, Elizabeth Moray, and started touring Europe. When Louis was born his father was, typically, absent from the home. His exhausted mother spoke no French and the birth of Louis the father was typically absent, while exhausted mother could not speak French. The infant seemed to be dying, so his parents' French neighbors named him.
Throughout Louis' childhood the family lived in various parts of Europe, and he became fluent in French, German and Italian. At the age of 17 he was sent to the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he made rapid progress as a musician. After the Academy, he worked for Sherborne School as music master and stayed there for 19 years. In 1886 he privately published his first play to be professionally performed, "A Buried Talent". From that point on he actively wrote plays, adapted them, and many of them were successful, among them "Joseph and His Brethren", "Drake", "Disraeli" and "Rosemary". Because of his strong pro-English feelings many came to believe that he was a European himself, and he grew to loathe the name. Louis Napoleon Parker was naturalized to England on June 17, 1914. Of his two daughters, the younger, Dorothy Parker, became an actress of some distinction.- Writer

Opie Percival Read was the youngest of ten children born to Guilford and Elizabeth Wallace Read. He was raised on his parent's plantation near Gallatin, Tennessee and later attended Neophagen College in Nashville. Prior to his enrollment, Read had worked for the Franklin (KY) Patriot Newspaper where he learned to set type. A skill that would later help pay his way through college working for the school newspaper. Read would go on to be the editor of the Little Rock Gazette and the Cleveland Leader. In 1882 Read and Philo D. Benham founded the Arkansas Traveler. Five years later Read and Benham moved their popular humor based paper from Little Rock to Chicago. There Read became a prolific contributor of stories about Southern life to a number of national publications. He would also author several bestsellers over the waning years of the nineteenth century and the birth of the twentieth century. His most successful book "The Jucklins" (1895) stayed in print for the better part of twenty years. "Len Gansett" (1882) and "The Turkey Egg Griffin" (1905), were also well received by the public. Read also achieved some notoriety on the lecture circuit talking about life in the South. On 30 June, 1881, Read married his partner's sister, Ada Benam. The couple would go on to have three sons and three daughters. Ada would pass away in 1928, a week shy of her seventy-seventh birthday. Their daughter Enid died some ten years earlier while still in her early twenties. Opie Read's romantic style of writing had fallen out of favor with the reading public by the 1920s and has been largely overlooked since.- Durward Lely was born James Durward Lyall and studied singing in Milan. He made his stage debut, under the Italianate name of 'Signor Leli', in 1878 as Don Jose in Carmen with the Mapleson Opera Company. After two years on tour with Mapleson, he joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company as a tenor choristor singing for Gilbert and Sullivan, later replacing George Power as Frederic in "The Pirates of Penzance". It was at Arthur Sullivan's suggestion that he adopted the professional (a later, personal) name of Durward Lely. When Power left the Company, Lely became its principal tenor, creating the roles of the Duke of Dunstable in "Patience" (April 1881), Tolloller in "Iolanthe" (December 1882), Cyril in "Princess Ida" (January 1884), Nanki-Poo in "The Mikado" (March 1885), and Dick Dauntless is "Ruddygore" (later "Ruddigore") (January 1887). He also played the roles of The Defendant in "Trial by Jury" and Alexis in "The Sorcerer" when they were revived in a double bill in October 1884. Lely left the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in November 1887 when the "Ruddigore" run ended. Work post-Carte included singing in concerts and in Grand Opera (including in "Carmen" opposite Emily Soldene). Between 1890 and 1893 he had numerous operatic engagements in London, as well as regular tours of America. He was a regular in cantatas and oratorios, and he later toured with fellow ex-D'Oyly Carter Richard Temple in "Rob Roy". He performed with his own opera company, and toured with the Carl Rosa Opera Company. Before retiring to Scotland, he toured with his wife in an entertainment called "Scottish Song and Story," and later made his one and only film appearance in Rob Roy (1911). He wrote his autobiography, which was sadly never published, although the manuscript still exists.
- Gaudi y Cornet initially completed an apprenticeship as a blacksmith. In 1872 he began studying at the Escola Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona. While still studying, he and another Catalan architect designed the fountain system in the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona. The building project was carried out between 1877 and 1882. In 1878 Gaudi completed his training with a diploma. He then traveled to Catalonia and other regions. He came across the French architect and cultural historian Eugenie Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc and his works, which greatly influenced him. The Casa Vicens project in Barcelona is also one of Gaudi's early works, which was completed between 1878 and 1880, as is the house El Capricho in Comillas, northern Spain, which employed the architect from 1883 to 1885. In this house project, Gaudi documented his masterful use of iron as a building material, for which his training as a blacksmith was a brilliant prerequisite.
In 1882, the collaboration began with Count Eusebi Güell as his client, who also became his greatest patron. Gaudi realized several buildings for him on his Les Corts estate near Barcelona, such as stables and the entrance gate. In 1883, Gaudi began work on the monumental Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, which would occupy him for the rest of his life. He worked on it for a total of 43 years. The work is still unfinished to this day. Gaudi planned a gallery for 1,500 singers, 700 children and five organs for the gigantic church. In 1885, design work began on the Palau Güell in the old town of Barcelona, his second commission for his patron Eusebi Güell. A building with a dome, glazing and stairs was built on an area of 18 by twelve meters, which had a voluminous external appearance. The work on this was completed in 1889. During this time, the Spanish architect was planning his next project, the pavilion of the shipping company Compañia Trandatlántica for the maritime exhibition in Cadiz. The following year he planned a pavilion for the world exhibition in Barcelona for the same client.
In 1887 he was busy rebuilding the burnt down bishop's palace in León. The work was never finished due to the death of the client, Juan Grau, Bishop of Astorga, in 1890. In 1894 the sacred building Convento Teresiano was completed. The result was a building that expressed the neo-Gothic style with its clear lines. Gaudi had to forego his usual design habit of ornamentation and detailing for cost reasons. His work was determined by the guiding principles of a Gothic style adapted to the Mediterranean region and traditional Catholicism in architecture. The light and climate of his country played a primary role, which he incorporated into his designs. Between 1898 and 1904, Gaudi was busy planning and realizing the Casa Calvet in Barcelona. To do this, he implemented one of his most traditional plans. The city awarded the measure an official price. It remained the only award from Barcelona, although Gaudi realized his most important works there.
In 1898, Gaudi planned apartments for Count Güell for the employees of his factory in Santa Coloma de Cervelló. Among other things, there was also a chapel where he carried out design experiments that were used elsewhere, for example in the Sagrada Familia cathedral. The plan remained a fragment, as did Park Güell, which was intended to be a garden city. The project consisted of an ensemble of gardens and architectural forms that were supposed to be in harmonious balance with one another. Gaudi was versatile. He planned apartments, townhouses, schools, churches and garden landscapes. In 1905 Gaudi started his final design. He designed the Casa Milá as a residential building. But this planned work was not completed either. In 1911 the architect fell ill.
Antoni Gaudi died on June 10, 1926 as a result of a tram accident. - Music Department
