In the letter, Keith discusses the success of  "Du Barry" that is being produced by stage designer Ben Ali Haggin, III (1882-1951). Mrs. Beamer's daughter Hazel Beamer (before she took the married surname of Cutler, and who lived from 1901-1980), had a solo role in the production, and Keith describes Hazel's performance as "exquisite," noting "everyone is enchanted with her." Keith notes that "Du Barry" will be soon be heading on the road to tour and that Hazel has been a "good little sport." Dora Wheeler Keith and her husband, New York lawyer and reformer Boudinot Keith (1859-1925) were Hazel Beamer's hosts and guardians in New York City, where Hazel Beamer attended college and performed as a dancer before she married.</dc:description><dc:format>application/pdf</dc:format><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:subject>Keith, Dora Wheeler, 1856-1940--Correspondence</dc:subject><dc:subject>Beamer, Bessie Baker, 1864-1955--Correspondence</dc:subject><dc:subject>Cutler, Hazel Beamer, 1901-1980</dc:subject><dc:subject>Mothers and daughters--Georgia--Thomasville</dc:subject><dc:subject>Entertainers--New York (State)--New York</dc:subject><dc:subject>Haggin, Ben Ali, 1882-1951</dc:subject><dc:title>Letter, New York, New York, to Bessie Beamer, 1923 May 26</dc:title><dc:type>Text</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
