The Provincetown Players Connection to Sherman

     Just remembered this: Eleanor Fitzgerald, the business manager for the Provincetown Players was the first of the Greenwich Village set to buy a house in Sherman. She got Susan Jenkins Brown interested. Susan had gone to high school with Jimmy Light, one of the important parts of the Provincetown Players and was married to him before Slater Brown. They also went to high school with Malcolm Cowley (and the critic Burke) and they all hung out in Greenwich Village before they went up to Sherman in 1927/28. Paul Lund, Ann Price's father, was a seaman and labor agitator who worked at Players before he married Margaret Wilson.

     So although O'Neill disappeared from the scene to CA, much of his spirit was still in the Village and Sherman.
