Fred Schiller papers, 1942-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31225057

A large portion of this collection consists of manuscripts of plays or television shows written by Schiller. Part of the collection is composed of correspondence related to Schiller's career, including disputes over royalties, the process of getting a play produced, and correspondence with the House of Representative's Un-American Activities Committee due to mistaken identity. There are also a variety of materials related to the role of Mae West in Schiller's first play, "Come On Up," including articles about her career to that point and the role she played in helping co-write the play. The rest of the collection consists of phonographic records and reel to reel tapes. The recordings appear to be of Schiller's plays.
