U.S. Mss 27AN	Part 1 (U.S. Mss 27AN, Audio 505A, Disc 505A): Original Collection, 1929-1969 Physical Description: 46.4 cubic feet (72 archives boxes, 59 volumes, and 2 packages), 16 tape recordings, and 16 disc recordings Scope and Content Note The Original Collection comprises everything received in the Archives through 1969. Its contents date 1929-1969 and primarily document the Kerrs' early lives and the wide range of personal and professional interests of these two writers. This part of the collection is divided into several series: General Correspondence; Personal and Miscellaneous Papers; Financial and Legal Correspondence; Theater; Criticism; Lectures; Television; Jean Kerr's Book and Articles; Miscellaneous; and Recordings. Generally, the material within each series is organized chronologically; the one exception is the television series, which has been arranged alphabetically by program title. GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE (Boxes 1-22) spans the years 1929 to 1969 and is arranged chronologically. (Correspondence that relates to a particular play or book has been placed with that specific title.) Often, especially in the later correspondence, carbon copies of letters sent by the Kerrs are present, as well as letters received by them. Researchers will find both quantity and diversity in this series: there are lecture requests, fan mail, family correspondence, and letters from professional associates from the Kerrs. There are letters from many notable correspondents. PERSONAL AND MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS (Boxes 22-26) consists of passports, college notes, awards, photographs, and appointment books. FINANCIAL AND LEGAL CORRESPONDENCE (Boxes 26 and 27) contains contracts, bank statements, financial statements. Included are reports from Brandt and Brandt, Collins Productions, the Kerrs' publishers, and World Theater. The series THEATER (Boxes 28-40 and Volumes 1-25) is divided into three categories, according to the location of the Kerrs' productions: the early plays, 1932-1939, of the Kerrs' high school and college years; the plays produced at Catholic University, 1939-1948; and New York and other later productions, 1942-1964. In the last category are included the plays first produced at Catholic University and then taken to New York. Materials for individual plays vary and may consist of correspondence, scripts, musical scores, contracts, photographs, playbills, production notes, clippings, and financial papers. Undated plays are listed alphabetically by title at the end of the early plays. Included among the play manuscripts are Sing Out Sweet Land, King of Hearts, Goldilocks, Mary, Mary, and Poor Richard. Within the series CRITICISM (Boxes 40-64, and Volumes 26-30) is the documentation--correspondence, notes, contracts, drafts and revisions, financial statements, galley proofs--of this most incisive part of Walter Kerr's career. The series begins with Kerr's books: Staging the Great Plays, How Not to Write a Play, Criticism and Censorship, Pieces at Eight, The Decline of Pleasure, Tragedy and Comedy, and Thirty Plays Hath November. Also included here are books for which Kerr wrote an essay or an introduction. Following the books are articles written for journals. Of interest to most researchers will be the play reviews written for Commonweal, the New York Herald Tribune, and the New York Times; these begin in Box 56, Folder 7 and continue through Box 64, Folder 2, and are bound in Volumes 29 and 30. LECTURES (Boxes 65 and 66) contain the notes Kerr used while a professor at Catholic University, as well as his research files and notes used for lectures given throughout the country. The final series that deals with Walter Kerr's career is TELEVISION (Boxes 67 and 68 and Volumes 31-33). These materials, primarily scripts, are organized alphabetically by series title. Scripts for individual episodes within the series are arranged chronologically; undated and unidentified scripts are placed at the end of this series. Included here are scripts and comments for Profiles in Courage and Omnibus, for which Kerr served as drama consultant. Boxes 68 and 69 contain JEAN KERR'S BOOK AND ARTICLES; these drafts are arranged chronologically. For Please Don't Eat the Daisies, only correspondence and financial and legal information are available. The Snake Has All the Lines and Penny Candy are collections of articles. Miscellaneous articles by Mrs. Kerr are at the end of this series. MISCELLANEOUS (Boxes 70-72 and Volumes 34-59) consists of books sent to the Kerrs, high school and college publications, scrapbooks, and photographs. Also here is a manuscript of special interest--a stenographic recording of private sessions with the Group Theater, 1939; this transcript was given to Walter Kerr. A small group of interviews with the Kerrs is also included here. Finally, RECORDINGS consists of 16 tape recordings and 16 disc recordings that supplement the musical scores, interviews, and discussions provided earlier in the collection.
