Papers of a Broadway set designer. The majority of the shows for which Johnson designed the stage sets and lighting during the 1920s-1940s are represented only by programs and clippings but for later projects such as “Night Life” (1962) and several summer stock productions of “Showboat” during the 1950s there are technical notes, blueprints, light plots, photographs, and finished and preliminary sketches. There are similar materials for designs done for Radio City Music Hall during the 1950s, the New York World’s fairs of 1939 and 1964, nightclubs and productions of Billy Rose, and numerous automobile trade shows.
