Laura Drake Seattle Historic Theaters Project oral history collection, 1980-2000 (bulk 2000).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60843091

The collection consists of seven interviews conducted by Laura Ann Drake with stage performers, audience members, and a theater manager, all of whom were involved with vaudeville in Seattle and elsewhere on the West Coast and Nevada. Drake conducted the interviews with support from a special projects grant from the King County Landmarks and Heritage Commission in 1999-2000. All of the recordings were made in 2000 except the Ted Harris interview, which was made circa 1980. Each audio interview is accompanied by a transcript, transcript index, and biography. Photocopied materials, including photographs, also supplement some of the interviews. Interviewees include Dolores Albin, Mora Lucille Cody, Thelma N. Frudiger, Paul "Mousie" Garner, Ted Harris, Zoaunne M. Leroy, and Gene M. Patterson.
