Green Mansions - Summer of 1939 and 1940

Green Mansions, which took its name from a popular novel by W. H. Hudson, boasted comfortable-to-elegant accommodations, in a bunkhouse, cottage or inn, on a tremendous tract of land with tennis courts, a golf course, and a lake called Tripp Pond, in Chestertown, New York, in the heart of the Adirondacks, close to Lage George.
Green mansions was known as a summer arts-producing resort. In the summer of 1935, composer Harold Rome became musical director at Green Mansions, a resort hotel in upstate New York. He put on musical revues there over the next three summers.
Harold Rome wrote the songs for a series of stage musicals from the 1930s to the 1970s, his biggest successes coming with the shows Pins and Needles, Call Me Mister, and Fanny. Like his contemporary, Marc Blitzstein, Rome tended to write topical material with a left-wing political bent during the Depression years
