It debuted on Broadway theatre Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre on December 26, 1933 and was one of acting legend Katharine Hepburn s first major Broadway roles. Directed by Jed Harris , the infamous big bad wolf of American theater, the play was a critical and popular flop, though it had a respectable run of 55 nights. Hepburn in particular drew sharp rebukes in the newspapers, many of which were penned by the same critics who loved her in The Warrior s Husband . One infamous review, by Dorothy Parker , said Hepburn ran the gamut of emotions &mdash from A to B. By 1937 Hepburn, then a bona fide acting success, was self deprecating and canny enough to include a line from The Lake in her successful movie Stage Door that became one of her signature catch phrase s The Calla lily calla lilies are in bloom again, such a strange flower, suitable to any occasion...

Unreferenced date December 2009 Lake Hitchcock was a glacial lake that formed approximately 15,000 years ago in the late Pleistocene epoch. After the Laurentide ice sheet retreated, glacial ice melt accumulated at the terminal moraine and blocked up the Connecticut River , creating the long, narrow lake. The lake existed for approximately 3,000 years after which a combination of erosion and continuing geological changes likely caused it to drain. At its longest, Lake Hitchcock stretched from the moraine dam at present day Rocky Hill, Connecticut to St. Johnsbury, Vermont about Convert 320 km mi . Although the rift valley through which the river flows above Rocky Hill actually continues south to New Haven, Connecticut New Haven on Long Island Sound , the obstructing moraine at Rocky Hill diverted the river southeast to its present mouth at Old Saybrook, Connecticut Old Saybrook . Lake Hitchcock is an important part of the geology of Connecticut . It experienced annual layering of sediments, or varve s silt and sand in the summertime due to glacial meltwater and clay in the wintertime as the lake froze . These varve d lake deposits were later used by European settlers for brick making. The lake was named after Edward Hitchcock , a geologist from Amherst College who had studied it.
