The Nestle produced chocolates "Quality Street" were named after J. M Barrie's play by their original manufacturer Mackintosh in 1936.
The original Broadway play starred legendary actress Maude Adams. It opened at the Knickerbocker Theatre in New York on November 11, 1901 and ran for 64 performances.
Katharine Hepburn and Joan Fontaine would later appear in different productions of 'The Lion in Winter;' Hepburn in the 1968 film version, Fontaine in a 1979 Viennese stage production. Also of note is that both women would make their last acting appearances in 1994 and both would pass away at the age of 96.
"Quality Street" has three Oscar winners in its cast, Katharine Hepburn, Fay Bainter, and Joan Fontaine; and two Oscar nominees, Franchot Tone and Bonita Granville.
