Screenwriter Jerome Coopersmith's working copy, with his substantive annotations in manuscript ink throughout, marking deletions, editorial notes, and revisions. The "Johnny Jupiter" program appeared in two iterations throughout 1953 and 1954: the fir…st aired on the DuMont Television Network from March to June of 1953, and the second aired on ABC and aired between September 5, 1953, and May 29, 1954.

Contact seller5-star sellerRevised script for the debut staging of the 1967 musical. Loosely based on the life of undercover German spy and exotic dancer Mata Hari, about a French intelligence officer's quest to expose Hari's treachery, falling in love with her in the process. The play received a pre-Broadway tryout at the National Theatre in Washington D…C, but the Broadway production was canceled after the show was met with negative reviews. It was then staged off-Broadway in 1968, at the Theatre de Lys (then known as the Lucille Lortel Theater) under the new title "Ballad for a Firing Squad," only running for 15 performances. In 1996, the show was revived at the York Theatre, under the original title, but unfortunately met with a similar fate to its predecessors. Orange titled Studio Duplicating Service wrappers.
