No problem, dsbarnabasfan, and thank you for sharing the lovely collage.
Here's an excerpt from the biography, "The Bennets, An Acting Family" by Brian Kellow:
Just as rehearsals were beginning, Mabel told Richard that she was expecting another child. Certain this time that Mabel would give birth to a son, Richard chose the name John-- after John Shand.
Once again he was disappointed. On February 27, 1910, Joan Geraldine Bennett was born at home in New Jersey. Richard, who was appearing in "What Every Woman Knows" in Bangor, Maine, left the company after a Saturday night performance,took an overnight train to New York and made it to Palisade by Sunday morning. It was a brief meeting; he had to leave almost immediately for the play's Chicago opening, after which the company would travel to the West Coast. It was nearly five months before he was able to return home for his second glimpse of Joan: "She was lying in her baby carriage on the verandah, looking as beautiful as the rose in the sun, at which she was cooing. She has always been that little rosebud since."
