Bret Harte Collection 1876

[Writes concerning the rehearsals and performances of his play Two Men of Sandy Bar, that the play "as rehearsed this week and played tonight is the acting copy I delivered to Mr. [Robrae]. The changes in the Chicagorepresentation and the omission of an entrie, were made without my knowledge or consent, tho' exactly the reverse of this statement appeared in the TimesSunday. I beg you will see that I alone am held responsible for the play acted tonight. If it is bad it is my fault. Except the usual small cutting by the acting manager nothing has been done to it, and all this talk of its having been revised by other playwrights is bosh!"]

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
