Circa 1953, Chiz Schultz ’54 is sitting to Einstein’s right side. I think Chiz was in charge of the Players in that year; I was in 1960.

I recognize my mother, actress Georgine Hall, standing top left. I see Chiz Schultz ’54, seated front row next to Einstein. I also recognize Philip Minor ’50, seated second row, between Schultz and Einstein.

Both Chiz and Philip were family friends from my childhood. I’m sure Chiz would know others in the photo. Philip Minor died in 1991.

Thanks for bringing up the memories.

You asked if I (and others) recognize anyone in the photo on page 44 of the November issue. I certainly do. 

In the front row, third from the left, sitting next to Chiz Schultz ’54 (second from the left), is theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. If you get in touch with Chiz, a former Theater Intime president, he can probably supply some of the other names.

I the photo on page 44 of the November issue, Georgine Hall, longtime resident of Princeton and actress, is standing in the upper left.
