1947

Lillian Hellman's Another Part of the Forest came to the Walnut in September 1947. The play was a prequel to her 1939 hit The Little Foxes. It had a successful Broadway run prior to its tour, and the show won three Tony Awards. A film version starring Frederic March was released in 1948. The playwright is pictured here.
