Abstract

This scrapbook includes primarily Chicago, New York and Detroit programs, as well as reviews from Chicago newspapers.

Biographical/Historical

This anonymous scrapbook has been given its name from the title of the commercially-published “Theatre Record and Scrap Book” in which it has been compiled. Its source is unknown; it was cataloged by the Chicago Public Library in September 1950 and transferred to the Special Collections Division at some later date. In 1986 it was rebound, without disturbing its contents.

Scope and Content

The entries in this scrapbook include primarily Chicago, Detroit and New York theater programs, as well as reviews from Chicago newspapers. There are a few pictures, but no annotations of any kind.

Arrangement

The scrapbook remains bound in its original order. Productions are indexed alphabetically by title for ease of use, and page numbers are specified as either “r” or “v” for the front (recto) or back (verso) of the album’s leaves. An asterisk indicates productions mounted outside Chicago.
