Note
  1. Forty playbills and programs (1916 - 1940) for Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare documenting performances by a range of actors of the early to mid-20th century, primarily in the United States with some in England, including regional, amateur, college, and university productions. Includes a production with a special souvenir program by The Players Club (N.Y.); Reginald Denny in a live broadcast for the Columbia Shakespearean Cycle radio program, later released as a sound recording called Shakespeare in Hollywood; a number of programs for Orson Welles's production with the Mercury Theatre; Randolph Somerville's production for The Washington Square Players (Cooperstown, N.Y.) with the critic and author Stanley Kauffmann in a small role; a production by The Stewart Headlam Shakespeare Association (London); three modern dress productions including one by Nadine Miles for the Cain Park Theatre (Cleveland, Ohio).
  2. Items 28 and 34, programs for performances at the Burgtheater (Vienna, Austria) from March and September 1938, promulgate Nazi ideology as part of the groundwork and, later, the aftermath of the German invasion and annexation of Austria during World War II, known euphemistically by the Nazi term "Anschluss." The content of feature articles and essays, all in German, includes a series of remarks culled from the writings of Joseph Goebbels entitled "Die Entwicklung des Theaters im Dritten Reich, dargestellt in Aussprüchen seines Schirmherrn, des Präsidentender Reichskulturkammer, Dr. Goebbels"; a statement of Nazi ideology on the verso of a half-tone photograph of Adolf Hitler; an essay by the director of the Burgtheater, Erhard Buschbeck, entitled "Das Burgtheater als Deutches Nationaltheater," and similar material.
