73847A collection of nearly 150 shooting scripts used by character actor Allan John Melvin 1923-2008 who appeared in hundreds of television episodes from the 1950s to the early '90s often in recurring roles on various series. He is best known for his recurring role as Alice's boyfriend Sam the Butcher on The Brady Bunch and as Archie Bunker's friend Barney Hefner on both All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place. Melvin also portrayed various characters on The Andy Griffith Show real estate salesman Pete Dudley in My Favorite Martian Corporal Henshaw on The Phil Silvers Show and Sergeant Hacker on Gomer Pyle.<br/><br/>Born in Kansas City Missouri he attended Columbia University and did some stage work before he broke into television with the role of Corporal Steve Henshaw on the popular The Phil Silvers Show program. "He was proudest of that show. I think the camaraderie of all those guys made it such a pleasant way to work. They were so relaxed" his wife Amalia told the Associated Press in 2008.<br/><br/>Melvin had a long and prosperous acting career but was often cast in the role of slightly loud and abrasive but friendly supporting characters and occasionally as the tough guy. In addition to television he did voice over work providing the voices of cartoon characters such as Magilla Gorilla. Some of his most prolific work was in television commercials for products as diverse as Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes and Remington electric razors. Among the scripts in this collection are five for The Brady Bunch including an episode which features Sam helping Alice solve the Brady family's high telephone bill problem with the addition of a pay telephone like the one in his butcher shop.<br/><br/>The bulk of the scripts in this collection are for the popular television series All in the Family 1971-1979 and its reprisal Archie Bunker's Place 1979-1983. In both series Melvin played Barney Hefner Archie Bunker's neighbor and best friend. According to Smithsonian Magazine the top-rated sitcom represented "a turning point for its engagement with topical controversial themes such as race relations homosexuality and feminism - an effort to reach baby boomer audiences - and for representing the kind of ordinary working people who had thus far been invisible on screen." Among the scripts in this collection is the episode for "The Family Next Door" with Archie Bunker being forced to let go of old prejudices when he learns his wife Edith rented out the house next door to a black family. For an episode entitled "Archie's Dog Day Afternoon" five copies of the script are present from the table draft to the final draft showing the process of television writing. A spring binder imprinted with Melvin's name and Archie's Bunker's Place contains a confidential cast and crew list with addresses and telephone numbers.<br/><br/>The collection also includes copies of scripts Melvin considered and roles he lost. Among them is the March 1965 copy of the script for the stage production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple. There are pencil markings around the lines for the character Speed the gruff and sarcastic poker buddy which was ultimately played by Paul Dooley.<br/><br/>All of the scripts are three-hole punched. With the exception of the All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place scripts most are bound with brads. The collection also includes more than 1000 pages of multicolor script pages for episodes of Archie Bunker's Place likely script changes which have not been paired with their scripts. Overall the material is in very good condition. The collection is housed in five standard file boxes. A detailed Excel spreadsheet listing each of the scripts is available upon request. unknown books

70604An archive of holographic letters written by members of a multi-generational show business family which found success on the stage and screen and behind the scenes from Broadway to Hollywood. The family patriarch was Bert Kalmar born Albert Kalvarinsky 1884 -1947 a successful lyricist who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. He entered show business as a vaudeville magician and comedian and became a songwriter after a knee injury sidelined his stage career. In addition to yielding numerous hits for the Marx Brothers his partnership with Harry Ruby was portrayed in the 1950 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical Three Little Words with Fred Astaire and Red Skelton. Before turning to songwriting Kalmar was in a vaudeville act with Jessie Brown 1892-1985 whom he married in 1910. They had two children: Irving Bert Kalmar Jr. 1913-97 and Margaret "Peggy" Kalmar 1928-64. Peggy married Robert Allison in 1950 and had no children. This archive contains more than 200 letters mostly written by Bert Jr. and Peggy to their parents as well as several dozen cards from friends sent upon the songwriter's death in 1947. The letters span from the 1930s to the 1980s. The collection includes a few business-related letters about projects in development as well as royalty and tax statements following Bert Sr.'s death. Among the condolences for Kalmar Sr.'s death are letters from Hollywood notables. Tillie Winslow the wife of Columbia Picture musical producer Max Winslow wrote: "I am so sorry to hear of Bert's passing. There is so little one can say to help one in times of sorrow. I know how hard the heart can hurt and I feel very keenly for you." Kalmar Jr. also known as "Bigs" followed in his parents' footsteps and pursued a career in acting achieving some limited success. Numerous letters in the collection recount his years traveling with a variety of stage productions. In 1943-44 he appeared with Ethel Barrymore in the production "The Corn is Green." He joined the show in February and recalled the following in a letter to his parents: "I found out to my great surprise that the understudy they had and who had a few lines in Welsh and one in English was leaving before the show that night and I had to learn his business and Welsh lines and go on. The first scene was in mining clothes with soot all over my face. Then in eight minutes I had to have the soot off and juvenile make up on and change clothes for the next scene. I made it. It all went smoothly. Before I went on Miss Barrymore walked all the way across the stage and said 'You're the new one aren't you. We're glad to have you with us.' . Later some of the other members of the cast said it was phenomenal - some of them had been in the show six months before she spoke to them." This collection underscores the growing focus on Hollywood and motion pictures. The Kalmars moved from New York to Beverly Hills for the songwriter's work and Kalmar Jr. moved between the two coasts to take advantage of opportunities on the stage and in film. This is also evident in letters from friends and associates in the acting world. A letter to Kalmar Jr. from James Lister foreshadows his career as a prominent Hollywood casting director. He wrote on September 1 1954 of his decision to leave New York with "Liam" whom he just signed to Universal Pictures: "We both feel that we've had New York and at the moment there seems to be more gold on the other side of the country.as well as trees." The Kalmars were also close friends of Random House president Bennett Cerf. A typed letter signed TLS in the collection dated November 7 1946 recalls a fun evening: "Phyllis and I counted our evening with you and Jessie among the happiest we spent all year. I hope we can do a repeat performance at a very early date." A few years after Kalmar's death Peggy wrote in a letter to her mother about visiting Cerf at his office and his efforts to help her with a job in magazine publishing. The letters are in very good condition and most are accompanied by their original mailing envelope. unknown books
