To Helen Cather
Southwick,
Feb. 12, 1944, extract made by
E. K. Brown
; Beinecke
Recalls meeting Paul Robeson at the Menuhins' apartment when Yehudi was fourteen. Wondered if she was going to feel the
effects of her southern heritage [because of race], but once she
came into the presence of the man all she thought about was his greatness. Recalls seeing
Robeson and Uta
Hagen in Othello. She
conceived and acted the part beautifully. [Stout #1658]
