  • Remembering Dorothy: a Readington Oral History
    Remembering Dorothy: A Readington Oral History Barbara Krasner History Intern, Readington Museums June 2015 Krasner, Remembering Dorothy, 2 Remembering Dorothy: A Readington Oral History The name Dorothy Stickney is forever memorialized in the name now given to the farmstead at 114 Dreahook Road in Stanton, a village within Readington Township, New Jersey. That name is the Bouman-Stickney Farmstead, the major building of the Readington Museums. The name bears the surname of its first owner, Bouman, and its last owner, Stickney, before the township purchased the building and land in 1997. For purposes of historical inquiry, the Readington Museums undertook an oral history project to unearth recollections about Broadway actress Dorothy Stickney, who together with her husband and fellow thespian, Howard Lindsay, retreated to the “farm” as she called it, her oasis from the fast-paced Manhattan life. The oral history project launched in February 2015 with the hiring of a history intern to establish and implement the project. This work included developing release and deed of gift forms; creating a topical discussion guide; discussing possible interview candidates at Museum Committee meetings; and scheduling, conducting, audio recording, and transcribing interviews. Further work may include indexing and stories for online use. Interviews were conducted in April and May 2015. They were held mostly in the Bouman- Stickney Farmstead, with the exception of the interview held at the home of Henry Robert “Bob” Krasner, Remembering Dorothy, 3 Arduin at his home at 115 Dreahook. The remaining four interviews were held with Ryman Herr, Mary Harrison, Marilyn Herr, and Ken Stadnik. While the main intent of the interviews was to gather information on Dorothy Stickney, the Museum chose to also pose questions about growing up in Readington.

On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Belasco Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 13). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law.

The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Belasco Theater (originally Belasco's Stuyvesant) was built in 1906-07 as the ideal playhouse of David Belasco. Actor, dramatist, manager and director , he was one of the most important personalities in the history of American stage. Belasco was a pioneer in the development of the American 1 itt le theater movement where dramatic experience depended on close contact between actors and audience. He conceived of his house as a "living room" and consciously attempted its domestication with a facade in the neo-Georgian style. Home of all Belasco's theatrical operations (and after 1909 his personal home as well), it was executed by some of the finest talents of the day.
