Actress Has
Program Here
Under the sponsorship of the Char
lotte Branch of the American Asso
ciation of University' Womeii and
Queens-Chicora College Cornelia Otis
Skinner ])erformed Tlmrsday night at
the Piedmont Junior High Auditorium
in a ])rogram of her original mono
logue.
Miss Skinner is the gifted daughter
of Otis Skinner, the well-known and
loved stage veteran. From her earliest
days she moved stage ward. After
attending Bryn Mawr she went abroad
to study at the Sorhonne and under
Dehelly of the Comedie Francalse and
.lacques Capeau of tlie Theatre du
V ieux Colomhier. Her professional
dehut was made with her father,
which was in Ibanez's “Blood and
Sword.” With the exj)erlence she
gained from the j)rofessional stage
she wrote and performed the first
of her cliaracter sketches—in the he-
ginniiig for her friends, later j)ro-
fessionally'. Within a few seasons
she was so much in demand that her
tours took her to England.
Miss Skinner is popular, not only
on the stage, hut on tlie radio and
as author of “Amusing Commentaries
On Daily Life.” Her voice has been
a liigh sjiot in quite a few radio pro
grams, and her commentaries appear
frequently' in The New Yorker and
other leading magazines. A collec
tion of them published under the titie
of “Excuse It Please” has gone into
fourteen printings. Her latest book
is called “Dithers and Jitters.”
On 'I'liursday night Miss Skinner’s
program consisted of the following:
“Eve of Departure,” “Hotel Porch,”
“Home Work” “Lady Explorer,”
“Times Square,” and “Being Pre
sented.” As an encore Miss Skinner
gave a short dramatic poem in Frencli.
Her audiences have found that Miss
Skinner does not walk alone in her
performances. When she speaks the
stage about her becomes alive with tlie
many characters of her rare imagina
tion. She worked without scenery',
using only' a drape of some sort and
a few articles of costume accessories.
But her settings were more real than
))ainted canva.*). Her sketches were
jieojiled with silent unseen jiersons.
They existed in the pauses, in the
way she looked at them or in the man
ner thev seemed to touch her.
