BOUND VOLUMES OF ORIGINAL SCRIPTS, MANY SIGNED BY THE STARS WHO PERFORMED THEM. Typed Manuscripts Signed ("Jean Holloway"), approx. 400 pages, quarto, n.p., January 10, 1940 to June 19, 1942, being scripts of dramatic sketches for the Kate Smith Hour, most heavily annotated by Holloway and others, many signed by actors including BORIS KARLOFF, ERROL FLYNN, RAY MILLAND, WALTER HUSTON, MERLE OBERON, and CHARLES BOYER, bound in 3 volumes, each blue cloth with gilt decorated blue calf labels on spine, some toning and thumbing to pages, minimum wear to bindings. Screenwriter Jean Holloway, who penned Till the Clouds Roll By and Words and Music for MGM and later worked on the TV show, Peyton Place, began her writing career on the Kate Smith Hour while still a teenager. These three volumes represent her contributions to the show, including original dramatic sketches as well as adaptations of popular films of the day. Some of the adaptations include Johnny Apollo, Brigham Young, Knute Rockne, Down Argentine Way, Eugene O'Neill's Long Voyage Home, The Thief of Baghdad, The Mark of Zorro, and Cabin in the Sky. Occasionally, a complete show script is bound in, particularly in the last volume, though the first two volumes are comprised almost completely of Holloway's scripts alone. Most intriguingly, the young scribe had many of the actors performing in the sketches sign her working copy. Thus there are personal inscriptions from Ray Milland on "French Without Tears," Merle Oberon on "Descent of Darkness," Errol Flynn on a script based on the life of Nathan Hale, Charles Boyer on "Masquerade," and Walter Huston on "Sunset Saga." A few actors even inscribed their own working copies to donate to Holloway's collection, and thus we have Boris Karloff's signed and inscribed working script for "Markheim."
