This Day in History: 1935-05-06
Mrs. Werner Trumbower and her daughter Juliana spent the weekend at Princeton University where her son is a student. A highlight of their stay was seeing a performance of “The Barretts of Wimpole Street”, starring Katherine Cornell. The actress had formed her own company for the production of this, her most famous play, in which she appeared as Elizabeth Barrett Browning over 700 times. She was then in the midst of a two-year national tour of the play in which she performed in seventy-five cities. (Bristow0
