Biography/History
[John] Kenyon Nicholson, playwright, screenwriter, and editor, was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on May 21, 1894. He received a bachelor's degree from Wabash College in 1917. After serving as a second lieutenant in the Army during World War I, Nicholson practiced the craft of playwriting while he did press work with the Stuart Walker Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. During the 1920's he contributed short stories to magazines such as Smart Set and collaborated with his friend and roommate, S. N. Behrman, on plays such as Love Is Like That and Before You're Twenty-Five. Their collaborations in both short story and drama often were penned under the pseudonym “Paul Halvey.”
By January 1927, Nicholson had authored one of the outstanding hits of the 1926-1927 Broadway season, The Barker, which starred Walter Huston and Claudette Colbert. In 1930 he again won critical and popular acclaim with Torch Song, but perhaps the best known of his Broadway hits was Sailor, Beware!, which was written in 1922 in collaboration with Charles Robinson. They continued to collaborate successfully on a number of other plays including Swing Your Lady, The Flying Gerardos, and Apple of His Eye.
In addition to writing for the legitimate stage, Nicholson was also involved in other aspects of theatre and in several motion picture and radio productions. He wrote screenplays and screen adaptations for films such as Laughing Sinners, Skyline, Taxi, Thirteen Hours by Air, and Union Depot; adapted scripts for many of The Theatre Guild on the Air radio productions; directed the Bucks County Playhouse during its 1940-1941 season; served as producer for the radio program The Cavalcade of America in 1949; co-edited an anthology of plays titled The American Scene; and independently edited Hollywood Plays, One Act Plays for Stage and Study, and The Appleton Book of Short Plays.
Scope and Content Note
The papers document Nicholson's career as a successful writer for several different media. They have been arranged in eight series: Subject File, Motion Pictures-Produced, Motion Pictures-Unproduced, Radio, Short Stories and Novels, Television, Theatre-Produced, Theatre-Unproduced.
The SUBJECT FILE is composed of correspondence, financial records, legal records, playbills, reviews and clippings, and scrapbooks. The correspondence contains critiques and comments on Nicholson's writings and miscellaneous fan mail and congratulatory notes. Mention is made of the emergence of the “talkies” and some letters discuss Nicholson's going to Hollywood to write screenplays for Pathé, Universal and MGM studios. The correspondence also reveals efforts to revise the script of “Spanish Omelet,” comments on production problems encountered in Out West of Eighth, and details ways to increase the radio audience of The Cavalcade of America. Among the correspondents are Bernard M. Baruch, S. N. Behrman, David Belasco, Thomas E. Dewey, Walter Huston, H. L. Mencken, Samuel Merwin, George Jean Nathan, Meredith Nicholson, Billy Rose, Dore Schary, and Helen Zenn Smith. A partial index of the correspondents follows the Container List as Appendix 1.
The financial records include box office and royalty statements, and the legal records consist of agreements and copyright registrations. Both relate to several of Nicholson's plays and are arranged alphabetically by production title. The scrapbooks contain clippings, reviews, advertisements, playbills, and occasional correspondence for the productions Babes in the Woods, The Barker, Before You're Twenty-Five, Dance Night, Eva the Fifth, Fly-by-Night, Here's to Your Health, Love Is Like That, Meet the Missus, Sailor, Beware!, Stepdaughters of War, Swing Your Lady, Torch Night, Town Hall Tonight, and Two Weeks Off. Given their fragile condition, the scrapbooks have been microfilmed and the originals destroyed.
The remainder of the series contain synopses, treatments, scenarios, and scripts that relate to the various media for which Nicholson wrote: Motion Pictures, Radio, Short Stories and Novels, Television, and Theatre. The Motion Picture and Theatre series, the two largest files, have been further divided into produced and unproduced works. Arrangement is alphabetical by production title and chronological thereunder. A complete listing of titles can be found in the Container List. Unless noted otherwise, Nicholson is assumed to be the author.
Included in MOTION PICTURES - PRODUCED are scripts for Laughing Sinners, Skyline, and Taxi. Of interest is a treatment for Union Depot, which was heavily annotated by Darryl Zanuck. RADIO contains scripts for several episodes of The Cavalcade of America and The Theatre Guild on the Air. Also included is a study of audience reaction to the former program. A typescript of Fame's Little Day, an untitled fragment of a novel, and several short stories comprise SHORT STORIES AND NOVELS. TELEVISION, the smallest series in the collection, consists of a script for a skit titled “Delegates-at-Large” and a script for “Apple of His Eye,” a Schlitz Playhouse of Stars production. THEATRE-PRODUCED contains scripts for plays such as The Flying Gerardos, Out West of Eighth, and Swing Your Lady!. Also included are scripts for works Nicholson co-authored with S. N. Behrman. Among these are Before You're Twenty-Five and Love Is Like That, and a script for a vaudeville blackout A Lucky Strike. Files of unproduced works are located in the MOTION PICTURES-UNPRODUCED and THEATRE-UNPRODUCED series.
