The Cary Grant Sanatorium and Playhouse

By Will Tinkham

THE CARY GRANT SANATORIUM AND PLAYHOUSE is a screwball drama involving disgraced Hollywood starlet, Donna Darling, and two-time German Army deserter, S amus von Funck. They meet in 1942 at an idyllic Ohio home for unwed mothers-or a Nazi abortion slaughterhouse, depending on whom you talk to. Their love endures despite the efforts of a power-hungry congressman, an overzealous religious tabloid, and Donna's Hollywood past-yes, including Cary Grant. They prevail despite S amus being a suspected Nazi spy and America's first prisoner of the second World War-and also the first to escape.

Donna returns to her chosen profession, nursing, and S amus completes his medical training under an alias while still on the lam. Despite their early struggles, the couple raises three fine children: Frederick Douglass von Funck, Clara Barton von Funck and Walt Whitman von Funck. The family thrives until their bi-racial, eldest child runs smack into the civil rights turmoil of the 1960s.
