Operettas, 1932-1957
|
|
Unpublished, typescript libretti and holograph piano-vocal scores and lead sheets
for sixteen operettas by Isobel Stone comprise this series. She provides brief
descriptions on the title pages, such as "A Bavarian grand opera" for The Midnight King and "A French play with music, or play in verse" for Sister Magdalene. Not all libretti are complete; in some instances, the materials are
select pages of changes and additions Stone submitted to the Library of Congress
following her initial submissions for copyright. All libretti include the names
and addresses of one or more New York City attorneys, D. Saavedra at Murrry Hill
Station and E. L. Cole on Liberty Street. |
