Papers of Percy MacKaye [manuscript], 1897-1948.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647805769

The papers contain two stanzas from "Moments en voyage: Poems for the Harvard Class of 1897". In letters he discusses his play "Sappho and Phaon," starring Julia Marlowe and E. H. Sothern, which is scheduled to open in Chicago 1906 December 10 and for which he wants Richard Watson Gilder to write something in "The Century." He also discusses a proposed play on Joan of Arc; the technical aspects of the May 1914 staging of the "Pageant and masque of St. Louis"; asks Walter Prichard Eaton to review "Wakefield," and offers him tickets to the Washington, D. C. premiere, to which the President, Cabinet and Congress have been invited. In addition MacKaye sends four of his books -- "The far familiar"; "In another land"; "Poesia religio"; and "My lady dear, arise!" -- to Louis Untermeyer, and discusses publication in Europe before and during World War II; says his favorite of his plays are "A garland to Sylvia"; "This fine pretty world" and "The scarecrow"; mentions Walter Prichard Eaton, drama critic of the "New York Morning Sun"; and visiting Rollins College for several weeks to talk to students.
