Otto Harbach Papers, 1870-1990, 1895-1963

Title: Otto Harbach Papers 1870-1990 1895-1963

The Otto Harbach Papers include correspondence, business papers, scripts, scores, lyrics, personal papers, photographs, and printed matter documenting his personal life and career, and also a particular period in the American musical theater, from ca. 1908-1938, when Harbach created most of his works. Correspondence is mainly between Harbach and his family in Salt Lake City, and later with his son William. Family members include his brothers, Arthur, James, Julius, and William Hauerbach, and his sister and brother-in-law, Sadie and Avern Poulton. Included in the small amount of correspondence from friends and colleagues are several interesting letters from Arthur Hammerstein, Oscar Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, and Carl Sandburg. The collection is particularly strong in covering the business aspects of Harbach's work, documented with contracts, copyright, and royalty information. Scripts form the largest series and include copies of most of Harbach's works. The scores are mostly for HAYFOOT-STRAWFOOT (music by Jerome Kern) and COUNTER MELODY (music by Peter De Rose) and are notable for the holographs that make up part of the scores for HAYFOOT-STRAWFOOT. There is also a good collection of photographs, including family, colleagues, ASCAP events, friends, and a selection of production photos. Personal papers include genealogical information, writings other than scripts, ephemera and a long oral history interview conducted by William Harbach shortly before his father's death.

Miller, Suzanne, 1935-1994. Suzanne Miller papers, 1936-1995.

Title: Suzanne Miller papers, 1936-1995.

Suzanne Miller's papers mainly reflect her life as an actress and writer; and her association with a number of eminent actors, artists, and directors. Although far-ranging in scope, the materials primarily provide a glimpse into the personal and professional life of a talented and observant woman who experienced New York's cultural environment of the 1950s and 1960s. Her unpublished writings, including an unfinished novel, are mostly autobiographical and introspective. Also of special interest in the collection is Miller's friendship with Surrealist artist Joseph Cornell. Over seventy letters written by the artist to Miller are included in photocopied form. In addition, there are original letters, many containing collage materials typical of the artist's oeuvre, which he wrote to Miller's friend, Dorothy Benzian. Other Cornell-related material is extant in the collection, including letters from his relatives to Benzian, and a brief out-take from his underground film featuring Miller, "A Legend for Fountains." This material would be of use to scholars of twentieth century American art. Also of significance are letters from Miller's drama teacher Stella Adler; director and friend Gladys Vaughan; and a photocopy of a letter from television personality, musician, and writer, Steve Allen, describing his memories of Miller after her death.
