http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155863620

The item from Werfel makes reference to Karlweis's success on Broadway in Werfel's play Jacobowsky and the Colonel. The 2 items from Karlweis are both addressed to Alma Mahler: 1 is a condolence telegram upon the death of Franz Werfel, in 1945; the other is a note on the occasion of Alma's birthday in 1951. Included is a program for a memorial event in honor of Oscar Karlweis, held at the Barbizon Theatre in New York City shortly after his death in 1956 (it bears handwritten annotations, apparently by Alma Mahler, commenting on the event); and 1 postcard from Hinterbrühl bei Mödling (near Vienna), Karlweis's birthplace, sent by Ninon Tallon Karlweis to Alma Mahler in 1957.

5 items (6 leaves).
