PREFACE
$3 This list of the Letters and Manuscripts of Musicians is the first of -
ﬁé a series of inventories of manuscripts in preparation by the Southern
i3 California Historical Records Survey Project, of the Work Frojects Admin—
ﬁi istration, sponsored by the State Relief Administration.
g? The present work was compiled from the original manuscripts located
a§ in the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library of the University of .
3% California at Los Angelos, located at 2205 West Adams Street, Los Angeles,
g? and is co—sponsored by that agency.
Ls!
ﬁg The research on the collection was commenced on August 19, l939 by
%3 David Himalstein; preliminary editorial work was completed on September 15,
gr 1939 under the supervision of Hilda Broger. A complete recheck of the ,
Eﬁ; manuscripts to assure accuracy in presentation was made between Nevember
3% l959 and February 1940 under the direction of Sallie Cutler, assisted by
jﬁ’ Ruth Jurow. The list has been made in accordance with instructions and
Eﬁ suggestions drawn up in the Washington office for these publications by
Fﬁ, Margaret S. Eliot, editor in charge of manuscript inventories. Mr. Sargent
ﬁg} B. Child has been National Director of the Historical Records Survey
{3% Trojects since March l, 1940.
Li Inasmuch as a considerable number of manuscripts were partially
h§§ illegible and in the native language of the authors, some difficulty was
{3% encountered in setting forth a complete and accurate translation; in order
»f% to assure preservation of the authors' meaning, it was found advisable in
Lg: several instances to make complete transcriptions of the manuscripts. The
E%§ translations made by Ebria Levitsky have the approval of the library staff
E3; as exceptionally well done.
'ﬁéh‘
BE Appreciation is expressed for the cooperation and assistance of Cora
Eﬁ Sanders, curator, Marion Waring, librarian, and Frank A. Lundy, who, until
Eﬁ recently was head cataloger of the library. l

j” 7“ Proface to ”Annals of the Theatre” by Edouard Noel and
{i Edmond Stoullig; a critique of conditions in the French theatre,
g? particularly in the realm of musical art; discusses reluctance of y
g? the pupil to accept innovations, such as Richard Wagner’s new
{1 arrangements for orchestra and stage lighting in Bayreuth, an idea 3
f expressed years ago by a Frenchman, Gretry, who was unsuccessful i
it in influencing the French stage; continues with problems between 2
5 artists and directors regarding salaries, hours, and tenwerament; i
E- believes that the demand for high salaries is responsible for hurd— g
{ ships in the theatre; deplores the modern trend for novelty and 3
‘ ? business in art; suggests establishment of a museum which would be 1
3' to the theatre what the Louvre is to art; emphasizes the need to
: continue the development of public taste for true art which is un-
‘ changing in principle, of‘which Mozart‘s "Don Juan" is a perfect
t example; deplores the practice of hired applause in the French ‘
t theatre which destroys artists’ morale, substituting illusory suc-
f oess for real achievement; arpues against conditions of the press ‘
‘ which do not allow justice to be done to first night reviews;
5 thanks the authors for allowing him to express his points which he
: hopes will help to adjust matters in the theatre. ._
