1932 is the year that launched Kathrine Hepburn into movies. She was doing a play by the title "The Warrior's Husband" which had opened on March 11, 1932 at the Morosco Theatre in New York and ran for 3 months where a scout for a Hollywood agent noticed her performance. Hepburn tested for and landed her first movie role in "A Bill of Divorcement" which launched her movie career. The play "Electra" which ran for only one performance at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia in which Hepburn had a role was on the 26th of May at a time when she was starting to receive recognition and publicity as a stage actress for her role in "The Warrior's Husband".
The program is in good over-all condition with some spotty toned discoloration on the interior. Marked in pencil near the top left of the inside first page is "With Stokowski" which most likely indicates Leopold Stokowski was likely involved with the production.
