the spectacle, she did not attempt to replicate the costumes or mask that would have been worn by the original Greek actors. She implemented modern realistic makeup to replace masks, cast women to play the female roles, used modern music, and set the plays at night using artificial light instead of using daylight. Anglin "was always intent on humanizing the ancient works" for her modern audiences so that they "understood that they dealt with universal and lasting concerns" (Meyers 44) and her choices reflect this ambition. Inspired by reading the classics and a love for the Greek tragedies that centered on women, Margaret Anglin became the dominant dramatic actress of the first two decades of the 20th century in Greek tragedies and acclaimed for her performances in Shakespearean plays, acting and producing The Taming of the Shrew, As You Like It, and Twelfth Night in repertory at Broadway's Hudson Theatre in 1914. In 1911, Margaret Anglin became a U.S. citizen through her marriage to fellow actor Howard Hull. In 1929, after her husband had not been cast in a Broadway production for twenty years, she insisted that producers give him a role in her plays. Balked at by the producers, she walked out on a production and did not return to the New York stage until 1936 in what would be her final Broadway appearance. Like many Broadway luminaries at the beginning of the century Anglin refused to sacrifice her theatrical art by appearing in motion pictures. Anglin starred in the original version of the radio program Orphans of Divorce when it was "a once-weekly night-time serial." Margaret Anglin returned to live in Toronto in 1953. She died on January 7, 1958. She bore no children. She was interred there in the Anglin family plot at Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery. References Myers, Norman J.
