When was Waldo born? Early editor said 1877, most recent put in May 1878. NY Times says he's 30 when appointed 1st Deputy Commissioner in 1906 and 50 when he dies in August 1927. Ragtime trivia says he's 52 at time of events (but I'm not sure if the end of the film is set in 1906, when the novel begins, or later.) Booker T. Washington papers' editors (http://www.historycooperative.org/btw/Vol.11/html/176.html) give 1877-1927 as Waldo's dates, but say he's commissioner 1911-1916, when Acting Mayor Kline fired him on 31 December 1913, just before John P. Mitchel became Mayor (1914-1917). Any clues? Shakescene (talk) 15:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
