| John Pickard and Frank Provo were
writers of radio and television shows. Among the series they created
were: Wendy Warren and the News (CBS, 1947-58) for radio and
Concerning Miss Marlowe (NBC, 1954-55) and From These Roots (NBC,
1958-60) for television. This collection consists of scripts of these and other programs. Pickard and Provo wrote
occasional episodes for programs such as Young Doctor Malone, The
Doctors, The Nurses, and Love of Life. This collection also includes
scripts from Australian Broadcasting Company programs that Pickard
wrote, directed or acted in (circa 1932-35) prior to his emigration to
the United States. Presentation scripts for proposed television and
radio series, manuscripts of plays and novels, and correspondence are
also included in this collection. |
