Scope and arrangement
The collection contains scripts (some annotated) of works written or produced by David Belasco, published libretti of Madame Butterfly, several orchestra parts for Sweet Kitty Bellairs, and two copies of Samuel French editions of The Girl of the Golden West (1942) marked "Prompt" and "Props," with some annotations. There is also a bound volume titled Season 1919-1920 containing scripts for The Son-Daughter and The Gold Diggers. Not all scripts are complete; one copy of The Auctioneer includes unorganized sheets and a sheet with two original color drawings of a man's coat. Also included are copies of several legal documents from the Belasco estate.
