Letters : from various correspondents, 1926-1927.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79152205

Letters to Ballou address topics of theater and play production, including letters from the Poet's Theater discussing plays being produced at the Fogg Art Museum and potential parts that Ballou could act. Other solicitations for Ballou come from the Provincetown Playhouse asking her to act in plays, and several letters from casting directors informing Ballou that parts have already been filled. Letters from the Barnswallows Dramatic Association at Wellesley College advise Ballou on her acting career. Also included in the collection are two programs from the plays The Belt and The Centuries, and photographs.
