Hallie Flanagan Davis, whose professional name was Hallie Flanagan,
taught drama at Vassar, 1925-1942, and founded its experimental theater. She is
more widely known, however, for her work in the 1930s as the director of the
Federal Theater Project. She wrote several plays, numerous articles, and three
books -- Arena, the story of the Federal Theatre; Dynamo, the story of the
Vassar Theatre; and Shifting Scenes of the Modern European Theatre, the product
of a year spent in Europe on a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1926.
Hallie Flanagan was born Hallie Mae Ferguson in Redfield, South Dakota.
She graduated from Grinnell College in 1911. In her own words, "The main thing
that happened to me at college was Murray Flanagan." Hallie Ferguson married
Murray Flanagan in 1912, but her "rapturous" marriage ended with her husband's
death from tuberculosis in 1919. After teaching high school, Hallie Flanagan
taught English courses at Grinnell College and wrote plays. While teaching at
Grinnell, she also assisted with performances of plays. Her own play, The
Curtain, won a prize and helped her gain admittance to Harvard professor George
Pierce Baker's 47 Workshop for Playwrights. In 1924 she earned an A.M. degree
from Radcliffe. Upon returning to Grinnell, she produced some of her plays,
which attracted the attention of Vassar's president, Henry Noble MacCracken,
who offered her a teaching position at Vassar.
Hallie Flanagan's entire adult life was devoted to the theater as
educator, playwright, administrator, and director. From 1925 until 1942, she
was a professor at Vassar. She founded and directed the Vassar Experimental
Theatre, which was well known for the quality and originality of its
productions. In 1934, during a sabbatical from Vassar, Hallie Flanagan directed
the theater at Dartington Hall in England. She married Philip H. Davis, a
professor of Greek at Vassar, in April of that year, keeping the name Flanagan
professionally. In 1935 she took leave from Vassar to serve as director of the
Federal Theatre Project, a unique effort in the history of American theater
which staged over one thousand productions in forty cities. In 1942 Hallie
Flanagan Davis went to Smith College as dean and professor of drama. She
retired in 1955, at which time she moved back to Poughkeepsie. Hallie Flanagan
Davis died in 1969, after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease.
These papers primarily concern her teaching and theater activities at
Vassar College and her work with the Federal Theater Project and include
correspondence, curriculum materials, scripts and other play records, reports,
speeches, programs, playbills, photographs, scrapbooks, and clippings.
Correspondence consists of letters received and carbons of her outgoing letters
to students and colleagues concerning her articles and books on the theater,
the Russian theater, her experiences during a European trip, her Vassar
classes, recommendations for her students, Theatre Arts
Monthly, workers' theater such as the Arteff Theatre in New York, and
other issues relating to the theater, 1925-1938. Correspondents include
President MacCracken of Vassar and her literary agent August Lenninger. There
are also several letters from May Sarton concerning an amateur theatrical group
she was working with and arrangements for a production at Vassar, 1933-1934;
and two letters exchanged between Flanagan and T.S. Eliot about Flanagan's work
and Eliot's suggestions for the setting, directions, and final scene for a
production of his play "Sweeney," 1933. Materials on the Federal Theater
Project consist of briefs, reports, scripts, playbills, and other printed
matter.
