Max Reinhardt Promptbooks

Description

"Deutsches Theater zu Berlin" stamp on front cover and inside pages. Extensive markings throughout in black pen, blue pen, blue pencil, and red pencil.

It is possible the Hamburg production was either not produced by Reinhardt or someone else took notes in his promptbook. Reinhardt seems to never use blue pen (which the Hamburg notes are), and handwriting is noticeably different.
