  • "The Mary Ellis papers span the years 1897 to 2003, from a newspaper published on the date of her birth to the obituaries following her death. The collection, consisting of correspondence and personal papers, production files, photographs, scrapbooks, clippings, and a few items of ephemera, documents the singer-actress' life and career in opera, theatre, film, and television, both in her native United States and in her adopted home of England. The correspondence series includes numerous letters, notes, cards, and telegrams from Ivor Novello, opera singer Geraldine Farrar, actor Romney Brent, actress Mary Morris, director Fritz Lang, theatre manager Hugh "Binkie" Beaumont, and illustrator Arthur Wragg. In addition, there is some professional correspondence from various stages of Ms. Ellis' career, including her time at the Metropolitan Opera. Highlights of her personal papers include a copy of the "Rhapsody in Blue" score personally inscribed by George Gershwin, a signed portrait of Ivor Novello, and a number of items relating to Novello's death. Production files include scripts and programs, along with a few pieces of sheet music."
