Series V: Programs, Clippings and Posters, 1889-1939

Theater programs for productions of nearly all of Parker's plays are included in this series, as well as newspaper clippings (generally contemporary reviews). The programs are arranged alphabetically by play title; the names of the theaters that staged the productions are included in the finding aid entry after the play title. The production titles of several plays differ from those Parker originally gave them; in such cases the programs are filed according to Parker's title, with alternate titles indicated in parentheses.
