ON THIS DAY: In 1904, J.M. Barrie's play PETER PAN opened at the Duke of York Theater in London. Steven Spielberg updates the story in the overblown 1991 film HOOK, about a Peter Pan, played by Robin Williams, who has grown up, contrary to his own promise not to do so, and now must rescue his own kids from the evil Captain Hook.
