Summer 1941 Oakwood Inn Summered in Great Barrington, MA  

 

In 1941, Julia traveled to the Oakwood Inn, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.  Evidently Julia went there to escape Europe and Hitler.  Details of the trip were revealed in the November 21, 1950 Berkshire County Eagle newspaper.  Julia has just passed away when the article was written.

Although it was in 1941, Oakwood Inn, Great Barrington, still remembers actress, Julia Marlowe who just died.  She had retired then from the stage, but arrived with 10 trunks, 80 gowns, and a maid.  She stayed all summer, added a nice theatrical touch, and fascinated the other guests with stories of show people.  She was a de luxe refugee from her home in London, a Paris apartment and a villa in Cairo, Egypt because of Hitler, who had rather stolen the show.
