Kenneth Fox (born Kenneth Duvall Tooill, 1896-1979) was an actor who performed on Broadway and in stock theatre companies during the 1920s. The Kenneth Fox papers document Fox's career and his longtime interest in theatre with contracts, programs, and photographs. Contracts originate from Fox's work on Broadway and in regional stock theatre companies from 1922 to 1926. Contracts for single productions list Fox's role and the show title. Programs, dated 1951 to 1962, are from popular Broadway musicals and plays of the 1950s and 1960s, including The Threepenny Opera. Photographs in the collection consist of autographed portraits of stage actors, some of whom were Fox's contemporaries. Photographs date from 1878 to the late 1920s and include portraits of Zelda Sears, Edith Kingdon, Fiske O'Hara, and Lotte Crabtree.
