Some Famous People called Christine Stevenson
Christine Wetherill Stevenson
Christine Wetherill Stevenson (1878 – November 21, 1922) was an heiress of the Pittsburgh Paint Company. Her dream was to build her own open-air theatre and hold her own plays.
She formed an Art Alliance with Marie Rankin Clarke to raise money to buy a piece of land on Cahuenga Pass called "Daisy Dell", and together they rehearsed for the first play, Light of Asia. A second series of plays was planned, The Pilgrimage, when resistance was met from Clarke and others in the group who wanted to expand the venue's themes. Leaving them to form the Hollywood Bowl, she bought 29 acres of land on the other side of Cahuenga Pass to build a new amphitheater for her plays, naming it The Pilgrimage Theatre, and created the Pilgrimage Play. Today the Pilgrimage Theatre is known as the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood Pilgrimage Memorial Monument (HCM No. 617), a 32-foot-high steel cross, at 2580 Cahuenga Boulevard was erected in 1923 to the memory of Miss Stevenson.
Stevenson was also known as the founder of the Philadelphia Art Alliance, which is housed in the former Samuel Price Wetherill Mansion. Samuel Price Wetherill was a descendant of Samuel Wetherill, a member along with Betsy Ross of the Free Quaker Meeting House. She was married twice, first to John V. Rice, Jr., whom she divorced in 1902, and then to William Yorke Stevenson, son of Cornelius and Sara Yorke Stevenson, in 1908.
She died in Media, Pennsylvania on November 21, 1922.
