Mr & Mrs

Mrs. Van Daan
& Peter (me) Again with several layers of
clothing.
The actress
had the most wonderful name, Irmengard Kirchhammer. I
wonder whatever happened to her.
Anne & Peter and Mouchie...the
cat. Yes it's a real
Siamese. I'm lookin' a little chubby here!...This is just before the opening scene and I am wearing
several layers of clothing.. The young girl is actually about 13yrs old, perfect
for the role. Her name was Carmie Kadish
THAT'S a little better!!
Me as Peter Van Daan...Dark
brown hair this time, to make me look less German, I guess...
I loved this play, and later directed
my version of it for Central Players in
