BOX 12-13, 15 Lester Horton, 1906-2007
Clippings, correspondence, dance notation, notes, photographs, programs, and writings collected or created by Larry Warren while researching his biography Lester Horton: Modern Dance Pioneer (1977) and its subsequent edition.
Organized as three subseries.
BOX 12 Correspondence, 1943-2002
Larry Warren corresponded with many notable figures in the dance world while researching Modern Dance Pioneer. This subseries consists of that collected correspondence and includes letters with those close to Horton during his lifetime, such as Frank Eng, Elsie Martinez, Don Martin, and James Truitte. Letters from Agnes De Mille, John Martin, and Ruth Page provide insight on the context of Horton's career within the broader movement of modern dance. The only piece of correspondence not directed to or from Warren is a letter from Horton in the "Miscellaneous" folder. It was sent to Warren by its recipient, Katharine Stubergh. This subseries also contains the original 1968 letter from composer Lou Harrison that Warren reproduced in his book.
Arranged alphabetically by author's name.

BOX 12-13 Photographs, 1929-1973
Images of Horton's dance works as well as behind-the-scenes photographs and portraits of Horton make up this subseries and document Horton's early exploration of Native American dances through to the major works he created at the Horton Dance Theater. Of the works represented here, only one was created after Horton's death, Miss Salome. Horton revisited and reworked the story of Salome many times, and this adaptation was likely created as part of a fundraising evening for the Dance Theater. Most of the photographs in this series are reproduced in Modern Dance Pioneer. Titles refer to choreographic works. When known, photographers are identified at the folder level.
