My Take
Maude Adams interests me far beyond her fame as Broadway's first Peter Pan. Yes, she defined the boy who wouldn't grow up, but the more revealing fact is what she did off-stage: she worked as a cinematographer, technician and researcher, experimenting with stage lighting and early color film technology. That a woman in the early twentieth century commanded both the spotlight and the laboratory is remarkable. I love the irony that the actress who embodied eternal youth was, in reality, one of theater's forward-looking innovators. She strikes me as a complete creature of the stage, equally at home before and behind the curtain.
