You know the Broadway TONY awards.
Antoinette Perry, in whose honor the awards are named, had a fine time in
the theater as a young actress, a director, a producer and a supporter. When
her husband died and left her a small fortune, she used it generously in the
theater world. Her relatives on her mother’s side had been troupers. She’d
traveled a bit with them as a young girl.
“Tony’s” daughter was also in the theatre, married to Burgess Meredith 1936
to 1938. They had a summer theatrical school in Steamboat Springs.
