Susie Michael Friedman photograph collection [graphic], 1924-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/503478328

The Susie Michael Friedman photograph collection consists of photographs of Susie Michael and Maurice Friedman, performers and promoters of Jewish music, who were active in Seattle, Washington and toured the United States during the twentieth century. The collection consists mainly of publicity portraits of the Friedmans and other performers, but includes a few informal photographs as well. Also included are a set of publicity photographs of actor, David Hoffman, who was born in Seattle, but went on to appear on Broadway and in several Hollywood films, including "The Beast with Five Fingers" (1946). The collection also includes color photographs of various dolls from Susie Friedman's doll-making business. As performers, the Friedmans were known as Susie Michael and Maurice Friedman. The form of the name, Susie Michael, however, has been used to describe photographs from the couple's professional life; the name Susie Michael Friedman is used when describing photographs from their personal life.

66 photographic prints (1 box) ; 8 x 10 in. or smaller.
