>From my Grandma's notebook: Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune Mildred Natwick Acclaimed "Baltimore's gift to Theater" Acclaimed by one New York drama critic as "Baltimore's gift to the theater- possibly the biggest gift the theater has gotten in many, many years," and winner last year of the Barter theater's prize for the best performance by an American-born actress- that is Midred Natwick, whose father, Joseph Natwick is a former resident of Wisconsin Rapids. Has Relatives Here Miss Natwick is a niece of J W, Charles and Miss Anne Natwick of this city. Her father, a former Wisconsin lumberman and now engaged in the lumber business in Baltimore, is widely know as the operator of the great Dunloggin daity farm at Ellicott city, Md. Sale of 126 head of cattle from his noted Holstein herd recently brougtht $288,600. In an article in the Baltimore Evening Sun several weeks ago, an interviewer wrote as follos of Miss Natwick: "Mildred Natwick is generally regarded as one fo the major mysteries of the American theater. A first-rank actress who has appeared in innumberable hits, she talks little about herself. And, as if that were not enough, she likes critics and thinks producers are fine and intelligent people. She is as incredible as a Dali without mannerism or a Churchill without a cigar, said one of her rivals recently, offering the theatrical equivalent of a compliment. I don't think there is anyone like her on Broadway." Audiences Cheer for Her "Certainly ther are few like her on Boradway in point of success. Audiences cheer for her. Critics strive for new superlatives. She has seldom been in a failure. And she herself has never failed. Miss Natwick doesn't know how to give a bad performance, wrote an admiring drama editor in New York. She is Baltimore's gift to the theater. She is possibly the biggest gift the theater had gotten in many, many years. "That is so much nonsense, countered Miss Natwick, sitting in the living room of her parents' home at 2009 Greenberry road, Baltimore."No one is that good". Miss Natwick, who began her career at the Vagabond theater in Baltimore, is in a minority of one on the subject of herself. Lst year, for example, she won the Barter theater's prize for the best performance by an American-born actress. Mrs Roosevelt presented the prize and Guthrie McClintoc, Katherine Cornell, Burgess Meridith, Somerset Maugham, Clifton Wbb, and other notalbes took turns singing Miss Natwick's praises. To Go On Long Tour Right now, Miss Natwick is vacationing at home after almost two years as Madam Arcati in Noel Coward's 'Blithe Spirit'. But soon she will be on her first long tour, a tour which will take her 7,000 miles to theaters   throughout the United States and Canada.  Aftermaking her theatrical debut in Baltimore, Miss Natwick went to London in 1933 where she starred at the Globe theater. Back from England, she gave a long series of distinguished performances in "The Wind and the Rain", "The Distaff Side,""Enbd of Summer", "Candida", "The Star Wagon", and "Missouri Legend". Called to Hollywood As if these triumphs weren't enough, wrote the Baltimore Sun interviewer, she accepted a role in a Jimmy Durante musical comedy, 'Stars in your Eyes'. The musical was a failure, but not Miss Natwick. She was to appear in "The Long Voyage Home". "Hollywood was pleasant, but Broadway was more pleasant, so I returned to the theater just as fast as possible, she said.
