Gail Cohen writes: This is Lewis Wharf owned by Mary Heaton Vorse, a writer and Labor Journalist. The famed Provincetown Players began producing plays here in 1915. In 1918 they moved to New York City. In 1922 the Founders George Cram Cook and Susan Glaspell moved to Delphi in Greece. Jig Cook died and is buried there. The Provincetown Players continued under director James Light and later with Kenneth McGowan, and the set designer Robert Edmond Jones. Their last season was in 1929 ending the last of any of the original group.
