Series: Manuscript Plays, 1837-1935  

Scope Note: The manuscript plays (approximately 152) were probably frequently performed by the Golden Troupe as they have obviously been well used. Often sides and the prompter's book are included. Sometimes portions of the play are missing, and the handwriting varies. As an examination. of the playbills and programs can attest, many of the plays that have survived formed a regular part of the company's repertoire. Those that are in the worst condition were likely to be the ones most often produced. The play titles in this section will be encountered in the lists of printed plays, playbills,and the music because they are among the most popular of the Golden productions. Twenty-three of the 152 are plays written by William Echard during the late 1880's and 1890's. Some were copyrighted and produced.
