...Harvard Theatre Collection in Widener Library, for safe keeping, and in return for this gift, the Theatre Collection was to subsidize the necessary experimentation to have the originals salvaged. The interest of Henry M. Rogers '62, oldest living graduate of Harvard, and close friend of Edwin Booth's daughter, Edwina, was secured, and his generosity permitted the experimentation to proceed...
...Edwina Austin Avery, publications editor of the Bureau of Plant Industry, pointed out to the House Civil Service Committee how unfair the law is to marriageable lady jobholders, how it spoils their prospects with all the job-holding males in Washington.

Van Dyke of M-G-M wanted "a milk-white blonde with a brunette's temper, or better yet a redhead's." He recalled that Edwina Booth...
...young woman's support. Friends send baskets of food and money for medicine. Only time she leaves her room is when she is carried or wheeled to a beach. Always, indoors or out, she wears a veil over her eyes. Her doctor-father and medical consultants* believe that Edwina Booth suffers from some little-known African ailment contracted "on location." They also believe that the doctors of the U. S. schools of tropical medicine (Tulane, Harvard, Columbia) know less about such things than do the staff of London's School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who are regularly...
