Claude Rains annotated script
Content Description
This collection contains Claude Rains' copy of the Jefferson Heritage with extensive annotations and emendations. This bound volume is contemporary buckram with two leaves and old cello tape repairs. In 1952, the National Association of Educational Broadcasters received funding from the Ford Foundation for The Jefferson Heritage, a 13 part series on Thomas Jefferson's influence on American life. Dr. Dumas Malone, professor of history at Columbia History, collaborated with Morton Wishengrad, an accomplished screenwriter, Frank Papp, producer and director, Wladimir Selinsky, music composer and conductor, and others, with Claude Rains starring at Jefferson. This volume contains the scripts for the first six episodes broadcast by the National Association of Educational Broadcasters. There is also a monogram on the front board of "M.S.B.," the initials of Margaret Slingluff Brinton, a friend of Rains when he lived in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
