Title supplied by cataloger.; Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated April 1, 1938 reads, "Not every young actress is fortunate enough to be both discovered and coached by an expert with the standing in the profession of Boris Karloff, delineator of extraordinary roles on the screen and stage. But pretty Jean Robinson, Federal Theatre actress, is the exception. For several weeks past Mr. Karloff has been aiding Miss Robinson at the weekly meetings of the Federal Theatre Auditioning Board of which he is a member, together with Lucille Gleason and Jerome Coray, production head of the project. Miss Robinson gets her initial acting opportunity in the forthcoming production of 'Anthony and Cleopatra' scheduled for the Hollywood Playhouse March 17th."
