Background

Scope and content:

This small, artificial collection consists of various programs for theater and film and concert, mostly in Los Angeles. The majority of materials date from the first half of the twentieth century. Important examples of theater programs include Tallulah Bankhead in "Rain" (1935), a Sam Harris production at the Music Box; a program and script for Sarah Bernhardt in Alexandre Dumas' play "Camille" (1910); handbills for Helen Hayes in "Harriet," at the Geary Theatre; Ethel Barrymore at the Biltmore Theatre in Los Angeles; and two programs from Marian Anderson concerts in Los Angeles (1939). Also of interest are the official program of the Xth Olympic Games in Los Angeles (1932) as well as the instructions for the teams' procession in the opening ceremony and a booklet on the Los Angeles Coliseum and its role in this Olympiad. Historical materials include Los Angeles Title Guarantee and Trust Company booklets on Santa Monica and missions in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Materials are arranged in unnumbered folders or else mylar sleeves.
