http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/29699429

Two holographic manuscripts of one-act plays that Collier adapted from short stories. The Old Women was adapted from The Needle by AndreĢ de Lorde, and The Mask was adapted from Behind the Mask by H.M. Harwood and Tennyson Jesse. The first play is set in 1900, and is about three bitter elderly women in a French insane asylum. The second, which takes place in a Nevada cabin, concerns a man whose face has been destroyed. A "Horror Tonight" program is autographed by the entire cast. Also present are newspaper clippings about the performances and the theater, as well as a playbill.
