The clippings range from reviews to features to news photographs and cartoons; one is from a German-language publication. Other clippings concentrate on Ms. Ellis' transition from opera to operetta to drama, and document her 1929 marriage to Basil Sydney and the activities of The Garrick Players both in New York and at the Newport Casino Theatre Festival. The scrapbook also includes a 1927 note from David Belasco to Claud Saunders at the Garrick Theatre, a French-language letter from Spanish singer Raquel Meller's secretary to Ms. Ellis, and some clippings covering Ms. Meller's 1926 professional engagement in New York. A unique item is a merchandise tag labeled \"Mary Ellis Bag,\" complete with a photo of the performer. A sheet on the front of the scrapbook indicates that it covers the period 1918-1932, but there are no items clearly dating from before 1922 inside.</p>"}
