Part 3 (M2004-120, Audio 505A/33-38): Additions, 1933-1993 8.3 cubic feet (7 record center
cartons and 2 flat boxes), 6 audio recordings (cassette), and 36 photographs : Additions, 1933-1993 (bulk late 1970s-early 1990s) consisting of general correspondence
including letters and cards from family and friends, scrapbooks containing news
clippings and other ephemera related to their careers, and a set of their appointment
books listing their daily events and engagements. Papers specific to Walter include
typed drafts, often annotated, of his critical pieces for theatrical shows written for
the New York Times. Other writings include drafts and
revised versions of his articles for publications, notes and manuscripts for books and
reviews, and his personal correspondence including letters written to Jean dating to the
early 1940s. Jean's papers include her letters to Walter, drafts of her play Lunch Hour (originally titled Jill Came
Tumbling After) and other miscellaneous productions, and articles she wrote
for various magazines in the 1980s. Also included are photographs, mostly of Walter,
used for publicity for his books and articles, photographs of the casts and stage
settings of Jean's plays, and photographs of friends. Housed with the photographs is an
autographed copy of the April 14, 1961 Time Magazine
cover featuring Jean Kerr.
