Papers of Arthur Kober (1900-1975), a playwright and film, television, and short story writer, most popular during the 1930’s and 1940’s. These are arranged in series of correspondence and related material, personal papers, and writings. Kober’s correspondence dates from the 1920’s through the 1970’s, but is incomplete. Of greatest interest is the file of letters from Lillian Hellman, including a few undated letters apparently written before their divorce in 1930, and later letters which discuss her writing and reveal the nature of their relationship. Other files include letters from family, friends, and business people, among them Bennett Cerf, Harold and Florence Rome, Irene Lee, Irene Mayer Selznick, Herman Shumlin, and Katherine White.
