About This Item
Helen Hayes [1900-1993] was known as the "First Lady" of American theatre. She writes: "Jean Darling -- / We will do our best for you tonight -- Because we love you." In November 1956 Jean Dalrymple produced a revival of "The Glass Menagerie" at City Center starring Hayes who, as a favor to her friend, performed for Equity minimum. The note was probably attached to a gift or flowers.
Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Cary Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jose 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, producer, and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
