Cornelia Otis Skinner

National Theatre, Cornelia Otis Skinner presenting her dramatic plays "Mansion on the Hudson," "The Wives of Henry VIII," and "The Loves of Charles II," written for a single actress, each play preceded by original modern monologues.

Actress Cornelia Otis Skinner and journalist Emily Kimbrough offer a lighthearted, hilarious memoir of their European tour in the 1920s, when they were fresh out of college from Bryn Mawr. Some of the more amusing anecdotes involve a pair of rabbit-skin capes that begin shedding at the most inopportune moments and an episode in which the girls are stranded atop Notre Dame cathedral at midnight. And, of course, there's romance, in the form of handsome young doctor Tom Newhall and college "Lothario" Avery Moore.

National Theatre, direction A.L. Erlanger Realty Corporation, management S.E. Cochran, Cornelia Otis Skinner in a repertory of her dramatic sequences and character sketches "The Wives of Henry VIII," preceded by a group of character sketches.
