    Summary:

    Howard Reinheimer (1899–1970) was a lawyer specializing in copyright law who represented prominent playwrights, composers, directors, and producers. These papers consist of Reinheimer’s business files, which focus on legal issues related to theatrical works that his clients wrote or produced. A substantial amount of correspondence documents his associations with Moss Hart, George Kaufman, Alan J. Lerner, Frederick Loewe, and others whom he represented. Additional materials include contracts and rights agreements, as well as a small number of scripts, financial statements, and clippings. This collection is the small percentage known to exist of what we know was once an extensive archive.
