The major part of this collection consists of correspondence to and from
Irving Deakin primarily in relation to his association with Hurok Attractions and as General Manager of the San Francisco Civic Ballet in 1947-48 and in relation to his personal and professional associations with
Adolf Bolm,
Anton Dolin, and
Antal Dorati. The collection falls into a natural chronological arrangement that gives a broad view of
Deakin's associations with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, the Original Ballet Russe, the beginnings of Ballet Theatre, the WQXR
Music and balletradio program, the San Francisco Civic Ballet, and the first American tour of the Sadler's Wells Ballet.
