Abstract:

Scripts and professional correspondence relating to the career of television dramatist Art Wallace. Series for which Wallace wrote which are extensively represented are Armstrong Circle Theatre (NBC and CBS), Justice (NBC), The Nurses (CBS), and The Web (CBS). Star Trek (NBC) is among the less well represented series, though there is a noteworthy critique concerning character portrayal by series creator Gene Roddenberry. Also of note are files relating to Family Films, Inc., a company that produced films for the Radio and Television Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. These scripts and correspondence show the company's efforts to convey religious messages and themes through a format of popular entertainment.
