Playwright George Cram Cook in Delphi.
George Cram Cook was a playwright, director and founder of the Provincetown Players, which produced the early works of Eugene O’Neill and Susan Glaspell. Cook became obsessed with the Oracle at Delphi, which was then being unearthed by archeologists. He was photographed in Delphi after he left the theatre and immigrated to Greece, 1922. Cook’s stay in Greece was described in Glaspell’s The Road to the Temple. No photographer credit. Billy Rose Theatre Collection, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
