Not my usual stock and trade, these items came to me from Cantor Itzhak Emanual when he returned to Israel. In the 1960s he produced a doctoral dissertation on the Oscars and these appear to be some of the materials that he accumulated in his research for the project. I really have no idea how many twists and turns have run through his life. He began his life in Mandate Palestine and early state Israel He emigrated to Columbia in the late 1950s where he was active in the Labor Zionist movement. In the early 1960s he moved on first to Southern and then to Northern California. He appears to have worked in the media at some point but spent most of his time in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the Los Angeles area as a teacher of Hebrew language and as a Cantor. He worked at at least a dozen synagogues in Northern California alone.
These programs are more uncommon than they used to be. There were probably about 3000 copies printed, but most never left the theaters on the nights of the programs. Some folks are more enamored of memorabilia than others. Earlier on the event was held simultaneously in New York and Los Angeles. Later only in Los Angeles. The programs below are from events held at the RKO-Pantages Theater and Carnegie Hall, then the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and lastly at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Some of the programs include with them additional materials that were used in the rehearsals and day of production.
The first item, a full working script for an Emmy Awards broadcast is something particularly uncommon in the trade.
These items are a little larger than my scanner bed can accommodate. As a result the items are cropped on the right side mildly throughout.
All of these will be available through the hollanderbooks.com website but for now they reside here only. To order, please contact me via email.
THE LIST
Andrews, Charles E.; Smith, Sid & Dunlap, Richard, producers. 22nd Annual Emmy Awards [1970]. Second Draft: June 2, 1970. Los Angeles, Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS), distributed by American Broadcasting Company (ABC), 1970. Quarto, binder with red leather covered board, 109 single-sided pp. with a number of additional single-sided pp., with pencil emendations (crossing things out and penciling them in). Hardbound. Very Good. A unique copy with the name of the original user Deanne Barkley stamped in gold on the front panel below the title. I cannot find any reference to her on the official Emmy site as to her involvement with the program though this item clearly documents one. Barkley later became a legend in Hollywood in part because she appears to have been a genuinely nice person in the TV business. She started out in television game shows in the early fifties and slowly worked her way up. She moved to LA from New York in the late 60s and worked with Dick Cavett on the first iteration of the Dick Cavett show. Two years later she became an Executive Vice President at ABC in charge of made for TV movies which heralded the most productive period of her career. Her involvement with the 1970 Emmys was, at the least, a result of her work with Cavett who has the East Coast host of the program for that year. Bill Cosby was the LA host and nominated for an award that he failed to win.
Peter Ustinov won the award for Outstanding Single Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for "A Storm in Summer Hallmark Hall of Fame."
Patty Duke won the award for Outstanding Single Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for "My Sweet Charlie World Premiere." "Marcus Welby," was the outstanding dramatic series for the year.
As of May 3rd, 2015 no copies of Emmy scripts are available for sale online.
The copy is from the library of Itzhak Emanuel who authored a 1971 dissertation at the University of California, Berkeley entitled, "A descreptive [sic] history of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences annual awards: the television productions, 1953-1970." Three copies of that masterpiece are located by Worldcat. Worldcat lists the television program itself but not this script. (75863) $195.00
