U.S. Mss 99AN/4A	Part 1 (U.S. Mss 99AN/4A): Original Collection, 1919-1951 (bulk 1930-1945) Physical Description: 6.4 cubic feet (16 archives boxes)  Arrangement of the Materials: The file is organized alphabetically by name of production company or producer, and in chronological order within each folder. The shelf list will only include film titles when an entry consists entirely of materials relating to a single film. Scope and Content Note: Files of treasurer/comptroller Henry J. Muller, primarily dating 1930-1945, detailing contracts and assignments of title in motion pictures to insure proper allocation of payments. The file consists in large part of distribution contracts, assignments of title and rights, "mortgages," etc. from individual producers, often with correspondence detailing contract negotiations both previous and subsequent to the drafting and signing of the contracts. Also included are scattered details on earnings and disbursement figures for individual motion pictures. Producers' correspondence of a more general nature also found its way to these files. The entries for the stockholder-producers (Chaplin, Fairbanks, Pickford, Selznick, Swanson) of the United Artists Corporation are particularly important in that they detail not only financial and contract information for individual films, but also the stockholders' interrelationships and negotiations with regard to the activities and fortunes of the corporation. Also present is information on the transfer of stock between old and new owners.
