Overview and metadata sections
David Belasco was an American playwright, impresario, director and theatrical producer. He wrote, directed, or produced over 100 Broadway plays. He is recognized for bringing a new standard of naturalism to the stage, as well as advanced lighting techniques and use of color.
The collection consists of the manuscript, marked for typesetting, of Belasco's The Heart of Maryland and Other Plays (1941), edited by Glenn Hughes and George Savage, as volume 18 in its series America's Lost Plays. Of the five plays selected by the editors, four have been copied from manuscripts held in the Theatre Collection of the New York Public Library: La Belle Russe (1881); The Girl I Left Behind Me (co-authored by Franklin Fyles, 1893); The Heart of Maryland (1895); and Naughty Anthony (1899). The fifth, The Stranglers of Paris (1881), is credited by the editors as having been taken from a pirated edition of the play held by the Division of Drama Library, University of Washington.
Published under same title (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1941) as vol. 18 in series called "America's Lost Plays."
