Harris

Sam Henry Harris (1872-1941) was an American theatrical producer.

Consists of bound typescripts of 121 plays, most of which were produced by Harris in the 1920s and 1930s, written by such well-known playwrights as George S. Kaufman, Otto Harbach, John Golden, and Noel Coward. Several of the plays have never been produced.

The playscripts are arranged in alphabetical order by author.

Gift of Mrs. Sam H. Harris in 1964-1965.
