Collected theatrical correspondence 1867-1914

http://archives.nypl.org/the/21647

The Newberry Library theatrical correspondence consists of letters written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries concerning theatrical matters. A majority of the correspondence consists of notes written between 1890 and 1896 to John Malone, who lived during that period at the Players Club in New York, and who appears to have been a theatrical producer and actor. One correspondent attempts to interest Malone in producing his comedy about Wall Street, while another writes about an upcoming staging of AS YOU LIKE IT at a resort. There are also several letters to playwright Clinton Stuart concerning theatrical matters, most of which are undated but which appear to be from the 1880s and 1890s. The material was gathered by the Newberry Library of Chicago, Illinois.
