Morley Goes to the Movies: Kitty Foyle
Please join us for a screening of Christopher Morley's potboiler-turned-Hollywood hit Kitty Foyle: The Natural History of a Woman, starring Ginger Rogers in her academy award-winning role. Wednesday, April 11, 2007 at 8:00 pm in the Philips Wing of Magill Library, Haverford College. Popcorn and refreshments will be served.
Christopher Morley (1890-1957) was a prolific and popular novelist, editor, playwright, poet, essayist, and book lover. But more than anything, Morley was a devoted Haverfordian, who grew up on the campus (his father was a beloved mathematics professor), graduated from the college in 1910, and returned as a successful writer to give lectures and visit brother Felix, who became Haverford’s fifth president. On the fiftieth anniversary of Christopher Morley’s death we honor this “local boy made good” and his lifelong commitment to Haverford College.
