The largest series in the Oboler papers, the Scripts series showcases Oboler’s
work at his creative best and at the height of his popularity, when he wrote and
directed numerous works for radio shows such as Lights Out, Arch Oboler’s Plays, Everyman's Theater, To the President, Plays for Americans, and Free World Theatre. Most scripts are retained in the collection in multiple copies of various versions, including original, corrected, revised, edited, and as broadcast. Oboler apparently maintained at least two separate collections of his scripts, the “Fire” file (possibly at his residence) and the “Town” file (possibly at his long-time office at 4119 St. Clair Avenue, Studio City, California). All versions of scripts from the Fire and Town files and from other locations are grouped together and arranged alphabetically by title. The Scripts series contains virtually all of Oboler’s pre-war work in the horror, humor, romance, and drama genres, as well as early anti-war radio plays and scripts of his wartime broadcasts supporting American and Allied war efforts against global totalitarianism. Oboler’s trademark stream-of-conscious narration is evident in many of the scripts, as is his penchant for reworking, re-recording, and re-titling story lines. Ever seeking new opportunities, Oboler proposed a number of new radio series during his career, and the Scripts series contains summaries of these proposals, which he attempted, in many cases without success, to sell to radio networks. |
