- Description
- The item is a volume bound in contemporary half-green morocco and cloth containing twenty theatrical, musical, souvenir, and concert programs. The programs are largely promotional, announcing events held by the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera Association from 1944 to 1945. Includes programs for: The Desert Song; The Red Mill; Carmen Jones; Rose-Marie; Don Cossack Choir, Serge Jaroff; Anne Brown; Marian Anderson; Life with Father; Without Love; Helen Hayes; The Pilgrimage Play; Gladys George; Blithe Spirit; Paul Robeson; Ruth St. Denis; Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo; Winged Victory; This is the Army; 1001 Nights in Hollywood Bowl; and The Polish Review. Programs on Paul Robeson and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo include signatures addressed to "Mr. Behymer." Spine is gilt and reads, "Los Angeles Light Opera. Eight Season, 1944-1945. Concert, Drama, Ballet, Special Events. Maud Haskins." Lynden E. Behymer was the manager of harpist Maud Haskins (1909-1950), so the volume likely belonged to Behymer, and was possibly intended for Haskins.
