Three volumes of reviews, clippings, and some correspondence relating to Ben’s works. The first volume is a collection of reviews and advertisement clippings for Ben’s novels and plays from 1921 to 1928; namely, Erik Dorn, The Poseur (play), Gargoyles, Under False Pretenses (play starring Leo Ditrichstein), Count Bruga, and The Front Page. The second volume contains reviews for Gargoyles, and seems to have been compiled by the Boni & Liveright publishing company, who published Gargoyles. Articles from around October 22 in this volume cover the suit brought by the U.S. Postal Service charging Ben with sending obscene literature through the mail. The third volume consists of both clippings and correspondence concerning Hecht’s autobiography A Child of the Century. The clippings are reviews and advertisements combined with a few features on Hecht. The correspondence is acknowledgements and thank-yous for complimentary books, as well as comments and congratulations from people mentioned in the books. Correspondents include H.L. Mencken’s secretary, Adolph Kroch (with a manuscript reply by Hecht), Herbert Bayard Swope (with a manuscript reply by Hecht), Larry Vinick and Jack Goodman of Simon & Schuster, Stuart Brent (with a manuscript reply by Hecht), Ned Griffith (to Gene Fowler about the book), Noldi (Arnold Emch; with a manuscript reply by Hecht), Charlie MacArthur (with a manuscript reply by Hecht), George Jessel, Walter Wanger (with a manuscript reply by Hecht), Irving Paul “Swifty” Lazar, Herman Kogan of the Chicago Sun-Times to Rose, Carl Sandburg, Robert Thoeren, and Margaret Anderson.
