- Summary
- Rachel Crothers (1878-1958) was a playwright, theater director, and co-founder of the Stage Women's War Relief and the American Theatre Wing. These papers were assembled by the executor of her estate, Anne Sheffield, and consist of programs and photographs of Crothers' productions; photographs of her colleagues and friends; three play scripts; photographs and others papers related to Crothers' war relief work; and other personal and professional mementos. A typescript titled "The Box in the Attic" contains Crother's account of some of her formative experiences as a dramatist. Among the photographs are candid behind-the-scenes images from a short film, Nice and Easy, with Charlie Chaplin and Eulalia and Frederick Neilson; the collection also contains photographs inscribed to the Neilsons.
