Who is THIS man?!

[L Verge]

Betty - did you see what I posted right before Roger's last post?

"I didn't think that The Story of Mary Surratt ever made it to television? It was a Broadway play by John Patrick (we have a copy of the script at Surratt House), and it only ran for 11 performances in 1947. I do stand corrected that it was Dorothy of the Gish girls, not Lillian.

"Desilu produced The Mary Surratt Case in 1956 as part of the Joseph Cotton Hour. Virginia Gregg played Mary in that one, but there were very few supporting actors - none of which I ever heard of. PLEASE, tell us who that weird looking man is/was!!! "

Neither The Story of... nor The Mary Surratt Case had more than 3-4 cast members according to what I could find while searching for your strange man.

What am I missing? BTW: John Patrick's play on Mary Surratt (mentioned in previous post) was performed here in her hometown in 1960 (or 1961) by a local thespian group known as the Surratt Stagedoor Company. I was in high school (not Surrattsville) and came to the play. In a showcase at Surrattsville's entrance, ladies from the group had put up a display of period photos about the assassination and the history of the town. One of the photos, however, was of my Huntt family home ca. 1872. It wasn't until I started working at Surratt House that I met the lady who had gotten it through the Library of Congress. I naturally inquired about it at LOC, but they never found the original photo.
