Biographical Materials, 1978-1999
|
|
This series contains a variety of materials related to Suesse's career, including
awards, memberships, legal documents, and transcriptions from radio show
appearances. A possible memoir, "Nobody Gets Top Billing," provides anecdotes
regarding colleagues Suesse worked with, though it is incomplete. Other items
provide insight into Suesse's personal life. The juvenilia demonstrate that from
an early age Suesse was creative in other artistic mediums beside music. Suesse
also danced, wrote poetry, created paintings and drawings, and designed costumes
and dresses. Report cards, travel papers, personal and religious documents,
scrapbooks, a recipe book, and family historical information all reveal further
details about her life. There are also materials compiled by donor Peter Mintun,
including correspondence with others regarding Suesse, research materials
assembled about her, and details regarding a special dinner party Mintun planned
in her honor in 1979. |

Photographs, 1860-1974
|
|
Photographs in the collection, most of which date between 1911 and 1974, depict
Suesse alone and with others in both candid and professional settings. These
include a substantial number of rare photographs from her early childhood, as well
as professional photographs of her as a young dancer and pianist. Additional
headshots and portraits document her life as a performer and composer through the
1970s, including her performance at Carnegie Hall in 1974. Other photographs
depict Suesse with prominent musical and literary figures, including Polly Adler,
Virginia Faulkner, George Gershwin, Ferde Grofé, Edward Heyman, and Paul Whiteman.
Notable family photographs include headshots of Nina Quarrier, a portrait of
Elizabeth and Samuel B. Chilton dating from around 1860, and a tintype of Dana
Ward Quarrier. This series also includes several sketches of Suesse. |
