Robinson Locke papers
Collection – Box 1
Identifier: MS-0332
Collection Organization
The heart of the Robinson Locke collection lies in the correspondence between Locke and various actors, directors, writers, and the public concerning his review of plays. This is a valuable tool for learning about the variety of plays produced during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Moreover, the reviews and correspondence provide insight into the public's acceptance or rejection of these plays. In addition, this correspondence illuminates the large number of contacts Locke had nationally with the theatrical community. Also valuable are the scrapbook materials in the collection. The newspaper clippings detail the names and nature of the plays Locke reviewed. They also provide information on the public perception of different types of plays, the reception of the theater in general, and the evolution of the theater.
The collection also includes subject files, financial documents, and printed materials. These items, however, are minimal and lack the breadth necessary for an extensive study of Locke's financial situation, his professional or personal life.
