was anybody else besides me puzzled & flummoxed but too
lazy to look it up?
Beerbohm Tree - a tree on which grow Beerbohms...

ended up finding a reference to him in the Wikipedia article
on Oscar Wilde - many things I didn't know about him! -
so finally had to at least read the wikipedia article on him...

Herbert Beerbohm Tree was the 1/2-brother of Max Beerbohm,
humorist & caricaturist (even I have heard of that guy),
and an actor and producer in his own right -- apparently the "Tree"
was a stage name he added on his own.
(but married a Lady Tree and produced some little Trees)

He ran the Haymarket Theater in London
 (little synchronistic chime rings for Chicago's Haymarket)
and later helped fund His Majesty's Theater,
played all the great parts, and fathered Oliver Reed's father...

so, his Asiatic counterpart... (??)

also a little vibration like the two tines of a tuning fork
keeps haunting me:
atole con el dedo // atiltdado
same consonants...
