Abstract

Clara Hemmings Furry pasted her theater programs and occasionally news clippings and pictures into scrapbooks. Pages are annotated with place, date of performance and the identity of Furry’s companions.

Biographical/Historical

Clara Hemmings Furry (1883-1967), the daughter of Chicago businessman Frank and his wife Lydia, lived at 698 East 49th Street, Chicago when she began this set of scrapbooks and wrote her name and address in the front cover of the first volume. In 1915 she married Eben Gillespie Rutherford, also of Chicago. In 1918, their son Charles Ettinger was born. Eben G. Rutherford is listed among the stockbrokers working at the Chicago Stock Exchange office on LaSalle Street in 1923, and in 1925 at their offices in Beverly Hills, Calif. where the family relocated in the mid-1920s. Clara lived there until her death in 1969.

Beginning in 1905 Clara pasted programs and an occasional clipping or picture into special “Plays and Players” scrapbooks made for this purpose. She annotated them carefully with the place and date of the performance, the identity of her companions and other matters of interest. Programs from travels in Europe and the United States (primarily New York and Los Angeles) have been included. Her enthusiasm for the theater continued in later life; during the 1950s she clipped obituary notices from the Los Angeles Times for some of the actors she had seen in earlier years, and added them to her volumes.

Scope and Contents

The collection is comprised of four scrapbooks complied chronologically by Clara Hemmings Furry Rutherford over the years 1905-1927 and include program clippings for productions at various theaters across Chicago including most frequently: Auditorium, Blackstone, Cort, Colonial, Garrick, Powers’, Princess and Studebaker theaters among others. Clara also included programs from theaters outside Chicago from her travels to Europe, New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Ore., San Francisco, Detroit and Washington. Occasionally, there are additional news clippings, obituaries for actors and portraits also included.

Arrangement

The scrapbooks remain bound in their original order. The container list is arranged alphabetically by production title for ease of use. Productions held outside Chicago are noted with as asterisk.
