  Bonelli, William - Correspondence

  Manuscripts

  Approx. 10 items: In 1953, The Mirror exposed William Bonelli's Mafia connections and involvement in racketeering. In 1954, Bonelli, long-time member of the State Board of Equalization, authored a book, Billion Dollar Blackjack - the story of corruption and the Los Angeles Times. As the title suggests, this book was a strong condemnation of LAT and the Chandlers (publishers). Later Bonelli brought a lawsuit against The Mirror, another Chandler-owned newspaper, for "certain false published statements." This collection includes memos, letters, legal documents, press releases, etc. Also included is a complete copy of Los Angeles Underground (1954?), which reprinted the entire aforementioned book because, as the issue says, it was "suppressed in Los Angeles."

  Jay T. Last collection of entertainment: Schaefer's Opera House business correspondence

  Visual Materials

  The Schaefer's Opera House business correspondence, a subset within the Jay T. Last collection of entertainment prints and ephemera, contains records of the Schaefer's Opera House entertainment venue of Canton, Ohio, from approximately 1867 to 1890. Approximately 420 items are housed in 4 binders, and focus on venue booking agreements for various entertainment acts and productions, including commission percentages, dates, and other terms. The materials are predominantly correspondences, but ephemera such as reciepts and tickets are also included. The opera house contracts specify the percentages of gross receipts received by the show managers and the opera house for "each and every performance," and sometimes list what each party will furnish as part of the signed agreement. That list for the house could include: a lighted, heated and cleaned theater or hall, stage men, stage furniture, ushers, bill posting and distributing, ticket sellers, and advance sales; and for the managers: the company, entertainment and perishable properties, an orchestra and conductor, door tenders, and "all printing necessary for the proper advertisement of the entertainment."
