  • Sub-Subseries 1.1.2: Works
  • Sub-Subseries 1.1.3: Documents

Scope and Contents note

This subseries contains manuscript and typescript correspondence and notes written or signed by Gertrude Stein, typescripts of her works, and a small number of documents relating to her life. The primary recipients or subjects of the correspondence are Xavier Gonzalez, Henry McBride, Sir Francis Rose, Julian Sawyer, and Allan Turner. The materials include photocopies of originals then in the private collection of the Cone family in Baltimore. The typescripts of Stein's works, many prepared by Alice B. Toklas and corrected by her or Stein, include Absolutely as Bob Brown, or, Bobbed Brown; An American and France; Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights; We Came, A History; What are Masterpieces and Why are There so Few of Them; and The World Is Round. Additional materials include proofs of Metcalf's publication of Absolutely as Bob Brown, or, Bobbed Brown and of What are Masterpieces and Why are There so Few of Them . Almost all the typescript works are from the collection of Robert Bartlett Haas, with extensive pencil annotations by him. The majority of documents relating to Stein's life derive from her tour of the United States in 1934-1935, including an interview with William Lundell of the National Broadcasting Corporation, and tickets to two of Stein's lectures. Other materials include the 25 September 1944 International News press release announcing Stein's "liberation", and copies of her last will and testament filed in Baltimore.
 

Sub-Subseries 1.1.1:  Correspondence, 1903-1946.

Physical Description: 5 folders.

Scope and Contents note

This sub-subseries consists of short letters, notes, and other documents written or signed by Gertrude Stein.

Arrangement note

  • Sub-subseries 2.1.1: Selections from Gertrude Stein's works and lectures and workshops on her works

Scope and Contents note

This subseries contains programs, posters, flyers, handbills, photographs, performance schedules, scripts, correspondence, reviews, costume and set designs, tickets, financial accounts, and other materials relating to the performance of Gertrude Stein’s works. The breadth of materials, from professional, college, and local productions, reflects Addison Metcalf's attempt to acquire documentation on every performance of Stein’s works within the United States and elsewhere prior to 1960. The most significant materials relate to performances of the operas Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All, both written with Virgil Thomson; of the plays Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights , Ladies' Voices , and Yes Is For a Very Young Man ; and of the ballet, Wedding Bouquet , written with Lord Berners.
The materials relating to Four Saints in Three Acts include souvenir programs and programs of the world premiere in Hartford, Connecticut, in February 1934, as well as programs, flyers, photographs, and reviews of the first performances in New York City, at the Forty-Fourth Street and Empire Theatres, in March and April of that year, as well as of the first performance in Chicago, in November. Additional materials also include programs, flyers, and reviews of the 1952 American National Theatre and Academy performance at the Broadway Theatre in New York and at the Théatre des Champs Élysées in Paris, of a Japanese production in 1953; of de Paur’s Opera Gala 1957 tour; and of several college and local productions of the entire work and selections from it.
The materials relating to performances of The Mother of Us All include programs, articles, reviews, and photographs by Carl Van Vechten of the original 1947 production by Columbia Theatre Associates, as well as a 1949 production at Western Reserve University, a 1952 performance by the Babylon (New York) Symphony Orchestra, a 1953 performance by the University of California Berkeley Studio Theater, and 1956 performances by the Adams House (Harvard University) Music Society and at the Phoenix Theatre in New York.
The most significant performance records for Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights are those of Julian Beck and Judith Malina’s Living Theatre’s 1951 production. These include a typed script, Beck’s original costume designs, set designs, programs, flyers, reviews, financial accounts, tickets, and draft correspondence relating to Beck and Malina’s inability to pay royalties to the Stein estate and their struggle to subsist.
The series includes similar documents, including handcrafted programs and posters from the Living Theatre’s 1951 production, in Beck and Malina’s apartment, of Ladies’ Voices, and from their production the following year in the Cherry Lane Theatre. The After Dinner Opera Company frequently performed Ladies’ Voices in the decade from 1956 to 1965, often in conjunction with Stein’s In a Garden, and the series contains programs and posters from many of these productions.
Records for Yes Is For a Very Young Man include a review of the original 1946 production at the Pasadena (California) Playhouse; programs, reviews, and posters of the 1948 productions by the Princeton Theatre Intime and the Princeton University Players; and photographs by Martha Swope, Carl Van Vechten, and John Vickers.
Sadler’s Wells Ballet (later the Royal Ballet) premiered Wedding Bouquet in its 1936-37 season, and the work was part of the company’s standard repertory into the 1960s. The series includes souvenir and performance programs for many of these productions, including the Ballet’s first American appearance in 1949, and its 1950-51 United States tour, and photographs, circa 1948-1950, by Felix Fonteyn.
Additional materials include programs, performance schedules, posters, and publicity relating to the After Dinner Opera Company’s 1956 European tour, and subsequent United States appearances performing In a Garden; signed programs and other documents relating to the Touring Players Company 1952-1953 production of Brewsie and Willie, and programs, correspondence, performance schedule, and a photograph relating to the Randall School (Hartford, Connecticut) 1957-1950 productions of What Happened.
Sub-subseries 2.1.1 comprises records of performances of selections from Stein’s works, in particular Bruce Kellner’s illustrated lecture, "When This You See, Remember Me" (1959), and Addison Metcalf's “An Evening of Gertrude Stein” (1956) and "A Sentimental Journey Through the Works of Gertrude Stein" (1964).

Scope and Contents note

This series contains print and manuscript (primarily photostat) scores of music set to texts by Gertrude Stein. The principal composers represented are Virgil Thomson and Martin Vernon.

The scores by Johnny Fig, Harold Rome ("A Rose is a Rose", from Bless You All), and Charles Strouse and Lee Adams ("Rosie", from Bye Bye Birdie ) were acquired by Metcalf because of their references to roses. Most of the materials are inscribed by the composers to Addison Metcalf. Performance scores for individual works can be found in Series 2.

Scope and Contents note

This subseries consists of materials that, with a few exceptions, were contained in a scrapbook compiled by Addison Metcalf in the 1950s.

They include works, and reviews of works, by Gertrude Stein and others in her circle; accounts of the American and French literary and art scenes in the first half of the 20th century; accounts of American expatriots in Paris between the World Wars. The scrapbook was disassembled in 2013, and the contents photocopied on acid-free bond paper; the originals were destroyed. The materials are arranged alphabetically by author/subject/publication; Stein's works are arranged alphabetically by title. Announcements and reviews of performances of Gertrude Stein's works and of exhibitions of works by artists connected with Stein have been filed with the appropriate performance or exhibition in Series 2..

Series 7:  Addison Metcalf correspondence, 1951-1974 (bulk, 1951-1959).

Physical Description: 5 linear feet

Scope and Contents note

This series contains Addison Metcalf’s correspondence relating to Gertrude Stein and his collection of Steiniana. The bulk of the collection consists of letters received; however, the Bruce Kellner correspondence file includes Metcalf’s letters to Kellner (most typed on rose-colored paper, an affectation borrowed from Allison Delarue), donated to the collection by Kellner in 1986 and 1987. The correspondence may be broadly divided into the following types: (1) routine correspondence from booksellers, galleries, producers, photographers, newspapers; (2) correspondence from other Stein admirers and collectors, much of it of a “pen pal” type; (3) correspondence from scholars, sharing their knowledge and expertise; and (4) correspondence from people who had known Stein, writing in response to Metcalf’s request for an “impression”. The primary correspondents are Carl Van Vechten (“Carlo”), Stein’s literary executor; Bob Brown and Robert B. Haas, from whom Metcalf obtained most of the original Gertrude Stein materials listed in Subseries 1.1; the novelist John Breon; Allison Delarue, of the McCarter Theatre at Princeton; Bruce Kellner; Ella MacKenna Friend Mielziner, widow of the painter Leo Mielziner; Russell W. Nash; Elizabeth Sprigge; the dancer Robert Tynes; Tennessee Wild, of The Dance Mart; Isabel and Thornton Wilder; and Yale University Library, represented primarily by Donald Gallup. Other letters of particular interest include correspondence with the After Dinner Opera Company, Peggy Bacon, Christopher Blake, Paul F. Bowles, Robert E. Finley, George J. Firmage, the Living Theatre, Stephen Longstreet, Robert McAlmon, Henry McBride, Murray D. Morrison, Norman Holmes Pearson, Richard Rummonds, Samuel M. Steward, Virgil Thomson, Alice B. Toklas, and Robert A. Wilson. The correspondence with Breon, Delarue, Kellner, and, in particular, Rummonds and Tynes (for both of whom Metcalf developed a romantic infatuation), includes many letters of a very personal nature. The Kellner correspondence file includes two letters from Kellner to Scripps College Librarian Judy Harvey-Sahak, 1986-1987, describing Metcalf’s personality, obsession with Gertrude Stein, and tortured personal relationships. Metcalf was also the center (“le premiere rose”) of a small group of Stein enthusiasts, including Robert A. Wilson (“le deuxieme rose”), David White (“the fourth rose”), and Marcus Goodrich (“Marcus Aurelius”). The series also documents Metcalf’s unsuccessful efforts to have a rose named after Gertrude Stein, and his participation in the successful movement to have the rose declared the state flower of New York.

Series 8:  Art works, 1926-circa 1970.

Scope and Contents note

This series consists of artwork relating to Gertrude Stein, collected by Addison Metcalf between approximately 1950 and 1970. Of these works, the charcoal portrait by Peggy Bacon (1935), the watercolors by Stephen Longstreet (1928-1938), the collage by Pavel Fyodorovitch Tchelitchew (1929), and the portrait by Kristians Tonny (1930, reproduction), date from Stein's lifetime. Stein had been perhaps Sir Francis Rose's (border illustration for The World Is Round, circa 1948) staunchest supporter. The series includes several works by Edward Meneeley (1927-2015) and Albert Vanderburg (born 1940), Meneeley's partner, all dating from the period 1963-1965. They and Howard Hussey had been contemporaries at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture. David Prentice's acrylic "Alice B." was commissioned by Metcalf in 1966; some or all of the other artwork from the early 1960s may also have been similarly commissioned. Jane Chambers has not been conclusively identified, but may be the playwright of that name (1937-1983), who pioneered writing theatrical works with openly lesbian characters. Harrie Wood (1902-1978), a painter and illustrator, was a family friend of the Metcalf family who also eventually settled in Newtown, Connecticut. T. E. Wood, who has not been identified, may be related to Harrie, possibly of an earlier generation.

Other materials include jackets of several works by or on Stein, a number of buttons bearing references to Stein, Fitz and Floyd's 1976 Gertrude Stein stein, and a map, circa 1950, of Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris. The ephemera consist almost entirely of materials with a rose motif.
