Papers of Dalton Trumbo, an author and writer of motion picture scripts who, as one of the Hollywood Ten, was imprisoned following 1947 hearings before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The collection offers remarkably complete documentation of his work and the blacklisting to which he was subjected until 1960. It includes correspondence, writings, financial records, recordings, and subject files on HUAC and the Hollywood Ten. Correspondence, 1925-1962, includes letters to his wife and family concerning his experiences as a correspondent during World War II, his prison experiences in 1950 and 1951, as well as many letters to and from agents, playwrights, producers, and other members of the Ten. Numerous letters relate to the Congressional hearings, his work as a black market writer under assumed names during the 1950s, and his attitudes toward blacklisting. Among his correspondents are Alvah Bessie, Herbert Biberman, E.Y. Harburg, John Huston, Gordon Kahn, Garson Kanin, Murray Kempton, Ring Lardner Jr., John Howard Lawson, Carey McWilliams, Albert Maltz, David Merrick, Dore Schary, Herman Shumlin, and Sam Zimbalist. Some correspondence is present only in dictated form.

Biography/History
One year after Dalton Trumbo's birth in Montrose, Colorado in 1905 his family moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, where they lived until he graduated from high school. The years in Colorado had a profound influence on the writer, for Colorado names, places, and settings figure in many of his novels and stories, and his first published novel, Eclipse (1934) was based on Grand Junction life and characters.
In 1940 Trumbo recalled the next phase of his life in an article for the Daily Worker:
After my graduation from high school my mother and father completed the westward trek which the family had begun two hundred years before, and moved to Los Angeles. I attended the University of Colorado in the year of 1924-1925, joining them on the coast in the summer of 1925. My father died the following year. I went to work as a night bread wrapper in the largest bakery in Los Angeles. I started this work in 1925 at a salary of $4.00 a week, and when I quit, nine and one-half years later, I was earning $18.00. During this time I wrote eighty-eight short stories and six novels, all rejected. I attended the University of Southern California for almost two years,...repossessed motorcycles, reviewed pictures for a motion picture trade magazine, and did various other jobs, all the time remaining at the bakery.
In 1934 Trumbo's fortunes began to change rapidly. He left his bakery job to become editor of the Hollywood Spectator. His short story, “Darling Bill--,” was a prize-winning Saturday Evening Post selection, and other stories appeared in Liberty, McCall's, The Forum, Vanity Fair, North American Review, and other magazines. Before the end of the decade, three novels - Eclipse (1934), Washington Jitters (1936, adapted as a Theatre Guild play in 1938), and Johnny Got His Gun (1939)--were published, the last of these winning the American Booksellers' Award as the most original book of the year.
The mid-1930s also marked the beginning of Trumbo's screenwriting career, which flourished until 1947 and which included such credits as A Man to Remember (voted one of the ten best films of 1938); Kitty Foyle (Academy Award nomination); A Guy Named Joe (Boxoffice Magazine Award); Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (Boxoffice Magazine Award); Our Vines Have Tender Grapes (Boxoffice Magazine Award), Tender Comrade, Five Came Back, and a film adaptation of his own novel, The Remarkable Andrew.
During the period between 1934 and 1945, Trumbo was a founding editor of The Screen Writer, the official publication of the Screen Writers' Guild; served as chairman of Writers for Roosevelt; and worked as a war correspondent in the Pacific during 1945.
In the fall of 1947 nineteen Hollywood notables, including Trumbo, were summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Trumbo was one of the witnesses who refused to state whether they were members of the Communist Party and who came to be known as the Hollywood Ten. For refusing to testify Trumbo was cited for contempt of congress and subsequently blacklisted from employment in the film industry. After numerous attempts at appeal, the Hollywood Ten were imprisoned, Trumbo serving nine months during 1950 and 1951 in the Federal Correctional Institution in Ashland, Kentucky.
Even before his term began, however, Trumbo began to write for the Hollywood Black Market, selling scripts for over thirteen years either under an assumed name or that of a colleague. Immediately after the completion of his prison sentence, Trumbo, his wife Cleo, and their three children, moved to Mexico. Because he was too far removed from the center of the film industry to find lucrative work, Trumbo and his family returned to Hollywood in 1953. Although it was rumored Trumbo wrote hundreds of scripts, he actually wrote some thirty original scripts or adaptations and advised on or did rewrites for many others. In 1955 Trumbo received an Academy Award for the best original screenplay for The Brave One, which he had written under the name Robert Rich. Trumbo did not admit that he was Rich until 1959.
In 1960 producer Otto Preminger announced that Trumbo would write the screenplay for Exodus. Almost simultaneously it became known that he had adapted Howard Fast's novel, Spartacus, for the screen. Trumbo's name appeared on both of these films, although the incident was not without controversy. Later he also adapted the highly-acclaimed Lonely Are the Brave (1960) and was involved with James Michener's Hawaii (1966) and Papillon (1973) and with bringing his own novel Johnny Got His Gun to the screen in 1971.
Trumbo died September 11, 1976.
Scope and Content Note
The papers are arranged as Correspondence and Biographical Miscellany, Writings, Financial and Legal Records, Blacklist Files, and World War II Files. Because the collection was donated in 1962 there is no documentation concerning the last fourteen years of Dalton Trumbo's life.
CORRESPONDENCE AND BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL includes general correspondence (paper), dictated correspondence and other materials covering the period 1961 to 1962, microfilmed scrapbooks, memorabilia, and photographs. The general correspondence is arranged in chronological order, and it combines letters touching on personal, literary, and political topics. For the early years the correspondence consists largely of incoming letters, but later in his career Trumbo began consistently retaining copies of his outgoing letters. A portion of this correspondence has been edited by Helen Manful in Additional Dialogue: Letters of Dalton Trumbo, 1942-1962.

Some of Trumbo's general correspondence from 1961 and 1962 is documented only in recorded form. Also recorded only on dictabelts is correspondence relating to Morgana and fragmentary material relating to the scripting of Hawaii, Mr. Adams, and The Other Side of the Coin. In 1991 the dictabelts were found to be physically deteriorated, and this material was partially copied onto reel-to-reel tapes, although much of the information was already lost. The mastering was halted, however, because of the breakdown of the dictabelt equipment and the navailability of replacements. The few transcriptions in the papers that could be matched to the dictabelts were refiled with the papers in separate folders.
Trumbo's biographical scrapbooks and clippings are available only on microfilm. The scrapbooks were largely comprised of reviews and biographical newspaper and magazine clippings. Of special note are pages from Welford Beaton's Hollywood Spectator that Trumbo wrote or edited. After filming the scrapbooks were dismantled and the original photographs contained therein were removed to the WCFTR Name File. The clipping pages were then destroyed except that all memorabilia was returned to the Trumbo family.
Photographs in the collection, now stored as part of the WCFTR name file, include portraits, snapshots of family life, and some publicity stills. Separately catalogued are photographs documenting Trumbo's work as a correspondent during World War II. Other memorabilia includes copies of autographed photographs and a baby book.
WRITINGS, which cover the period from about 1920 to 1962, are arranged by genre and include motion pictures, non-fiction articles and pamphlets, novels, plays, poetry, short stories, speeches and interviews, and miscellaneous writings. In addition, Memorial Library holds published copies of Johnny Got His Gun,The Remarkable Andrew, as well as the posthumously-published Night of the Aurochs.
Motion picture screenplays are the largest portion of the series (approximately eight cubic feet). Here are filed produced and unproduced titles, some of which credited him as writer and others written under an assumed name. In addition during the Blacklist era, Trumbo worked many productions as a consultant helping with rewrites. Before this collection was sent to the Society he made numerous notes and annotations on the scripts which provide some insights into his personality and the artistic evolution of the works. In some cases these comments may be the only documentation of Trumbo's connection to the finished script.
This section is arranged alphabetically by title and contains treatments, notes, and mimeographed and typed scripts, many of which are annotated. (Because Trumbo frequently revised his work using a cut-and-paste technique and because of the physical deterioration of the originals, many of the scripts have been photocopied to preserve their informational content. When necessary all layers of revisions have been carefully lifted and copied.) Some productions are also documented by correspondence and agreements. In general, the scripts of the period of the Blacklist are most thoroughly documented (although there are single scripts for such early successes as A Guy Named Joe, Kitty Foyle, Our Vines Have Tender Grapes, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo), and of these blacklisted works Spartacus is most complete. This film is documented by many re-writes, notes, memos, and variant drafts of the full script, as well as the long report Trumbo wrote upon viewing the film's first screening. Also heavily documented are The Brave One (originally The Boy and the Bull), for which Trumbo won an Academy Award under the name of Robert Rich; Bunny Lake Is Missing and Exodus, both directed by Otto Preminger; Lonely Are the Brave; Mister Adam; The Day of the Gun; and The Young Philadelphians.
Non-fiction writings are arranged chronologically and consist of magazine articles and pamphlets. Topics covered include the film industry, blacklisting, treatment of minorities by Hollywood, and the Academy Award selection process. The Devil in the Book, a pamphlet written by Trumbo on blacklisting and the Smith Act of California, is the title best documented in this section, with notes, research materials, draft manuscripts and the published pamphlet. Some research materials for a pamphlet on Morton Sobell are represented. The collection includes a copy of his well-known pamphlet The Time of the Toad, with a few background materials for it. Also arranged here are miscellaneous memoranda regarding his editorship of The Screen Writer during the mid 1940s.
Trumbo's novels are represented by drafts and notes for published and unpublished works and are arranged alphabetically by title. This arrangement plan is not exact, however, because many of the drafts were not completed and because themes and drafted fragments were often carried from one novel to another. The "Bakery Novel" is the most thoroughly documented, containing earlier drafts entitled "American Sonata" and later versions entitled "Bleak Street." While some of the drafts are mere revisions, others suggest the intention of a sequel or a different storyline with many of the same characters. Also significant are the notes and typed drafts for his first published novel Eclipse. Other titles documented here include Genius from Kingsley, Girl from Hollywood, and Ma Finley. Noticeably absent is similar documentation for the award-winning Johnny Got His Gun,Washington Jitters, and The Remarkable Andrew. Published copies of these three books are available, however, in the University of Wisconsin Library.
The section of Trumbo's stage plays contains scripts and related materials arranged alphabetically by title. The documentation is primarily for The Biggest Thief in Town (earlier "Aching Rivers" and "The Emerald Staircase"), consisting largely of notes, treatments, many drafts, typed scripts, actors' scripts, and miscellaneous financial materials. Also documented are Morgana and Orpheus.
Poetry is a small section within the WRITINGS. Only a few of the titles have variant versions, and most are not annotated. The poem entitled "The Chief" takes a sarcastic look at MGM's management at the time of L.B. Mayer's death in 1957. For "Confessional" the collection includes a recorded reading.
Short stories are represented by manuscript writings and published clippings arranged chronologically. The majority of these date from the 1930s. Titles include "Darlin' Bill" and its sequel "Trouble on Horsefly," "Bootlegging for Junior" (his first sale of any account), and "Double in Diamonds" and "Caprice," which were purchased by Columbia and MGM respectively. Of special interest is the correspondence and manuscript/drafts for "The Child Beater," which he sold to McCall's during the blacklist period under the name of Cleo Fincher.
Speeches and interviews, which are also arranged chronologically, include references to screenwriting and screenwriters, blacklisting and the Hollywood Ten, fascism, immigration and discrimination/racism, and the Motion Picture Alliance. Some speeches and statements, primarily those documenting Trumbo's appearance before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee or his reaction to the Hollywood blacklist, are available in recorded form. Many of the written speeches are undated and unidentified. Also filed in this section are drafts and a recording of the speech he prepared for Edward Stettinius in 1945 about the United Nations, miscellaneous writings as a high school and college student, research notes, and ideas.
FINANCIAL AND LEGAL RECORDS includes correspondence of this type from the period 1940 to 1961, monthly statements of Equitable Investment Corporation, material for a 1959 IRS audit, household inventories, wills, and financial ledgers for 1941 and 1943. The Equitable Investment material provides a detailed view of Trumbo's financial difficulties during and immediately following his imprisonment. The IRS file consists of a substantial amount of material Trumbo gathered to reconstruct his income and financial status during the period he wrote under an assumed name.
Information in the BLACKLIST FILES is complemented by material throughout the collection, especially the sections containing correspondence and the recorded speeches and interviews. Filed here are materials relating to the HUAC hearing, subsequent appeals, and the defense of the Ten. (Printed court documents, appeals, and amicus curiae briefs are in the Kenny-Morris Papers.) For the House Committee hearing the collection includes a transcript and recording of proceedings; notes; material used in preparation of the defense; and publicity issued in support by the Screen Writers Guild, National Lawyers League, and the Hollywood Ten Defense Committee. Also here is a recording of a satire of the proceedings produced by NCASP.
The WORLD WAR II FILES include notebooks, memorabilia, material gathered during the period, and an unpublished recollection of wartime experiences.
