Condizione: Very good. - Katharine Cornell's signature penned across 2 inch high by 3-1/2 inch wide card stock. Signed in full "Katharine Cornell" below the sentiment "Best Wishes". Glue stains on the verso would indicate that the card was once mounted into an album. Very good. Born in Berlin to American parents, the American stage actress Katharine Cornell (1893-1974) was dubbed "The First Lady of the Theater" by the critic Alexander Woolcott. Beyond the stage, she was also a writer, theater owner and producer. Raised in Buffalo, New York, she married the stage and film director Guthrie McClintic who often directed those serious Broadway dramas in which she starred. She is perhaps best known for her portrayal of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning in the 1931 production of "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" and was the first performer to receive the Drama League Award for her 1935 portrayal of Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" and a Tony Award for her portrayal of Cleopatra in the 1947 production of "Antony and Cleopatra".

Responding to Jean Dalrymple, Jack Morrison writes "As to your question, how many community theaters there are including regional and school theaters--nobody knows!" "There probably are 'over 100,000' if you count every little company in a church basement or whatever in a given year." Though Peter Zeisler at Theatre Communication Group knows how many "regional professional theaters" there are, it's impossible to know how many amateur groups there are, especially if one considers "theater to be every high school that puts on at least one play a year." Signed "Jack". Folded for mailing with a pencil line by Jean Dalrymple indicating she has read the letter. Else, fine.

She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jos Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene.

No Binding. Condizione: Good. Rare playbill for Miss Bateman's (Kate Bateman [1842-1917], American actress) from Her Majesty's Theatre, London, for her farewell benefit 'prior to her departure for America and retirement from the stage'. For this performance, she played Juliet in 'Romeo and Juliet'. In addition, her sisters, Virginia and Isabella, 'will make their first and only appearance on any stage' in 'Little Daisy. Kate Bateman was born into a theatrical family in Baltimore and, with her sister Ellen, became a child actress. In 1859, she scored successes on stage in Boston and New York and in 1863, came to England. Although the playbill states she was about to retire and return to America, in fact, she remained in England, marrying an Englishman, George Crowe, son of the journalist Eyre Evans Crowe. She retired for only two years, returning to work with Henry Irving at the Lyceum, which, at that time, was managed by her father, H.L. Bateman. Irving seems to have been unimpressed by the Bateman sisters, however, and they left for Sadler's Wells with their mother after the death of their father, and Irving took over the Lyceum, which he turned into the most important theatre in London. Kate appeared in several productions at Sadler's Wells, but was forced to retire again from the stage due to illness, only appearing intermittently over her final years. The bill has a central horizontal fold, a discrete tape repair verso at the top and one small hole, midway down the bottom half, not affecting the text. Some edgewear, but overall a nice, scarce item of this American acting family in England's history.
