Bernard
Stubblefield.
•••
Mr. Bernard B. Stubblefield, P.O. Box 123, Rural
Route 2, Florence, Mississippi 39073.
•••
Dear Mr. Stubblefield: You will be pleased to know
that your trunk and it contents now reside safely
in the Stubblefield Repository at the Murray State
University Library. President Sparks, himself, came
over to see the trunk as it was brought in and
displayed much interest in the trunk and its
contents. Some pictures were taken and newspaper
stories are planned. I will be sure to send you
copies when the stories break the news.
•••
My work on your father is progressing well and I am
in hopes that I will meet my December deadline. I
am compiling a list of questions that I have been
unable to answer and will one day soon--meaning
whenever I can get away from the University--come
down to chat with you and to brief you on the
progress at this stage.
•••
Again I should like to thank you for allowing your
father's things to bo placed in the Stubblefield
Repository. Also, strictly personally I send to you
my sincerest thanks for your efforts toward helping
me with the book on your father. I can't say how
much I appreciate your channelling inquires from
other people up to me; after three years of work on
your father I would be rather disturbed if some
"Johnny come lately" were to throw together some
slip shod and inaccurate work on your father which
would create no end of problems in my research.
Thanks to your efforts I am certain that will not
happen.
•••
I trust this letter finds you in good health and
that the weather down your way continues to be
fair. I'll keep in touch.
•••
All good wishes, Thomas O. Morgan, Director of
Radio-TV, Assistant Professor of Communications
Murray State University.

Here is a photograph of the long sought trunk. Mr.

We hope that the return of this trunk may induce
some people of this area to bring back to the
campus some of the documents and Stubblefield
photographs.

On behalf of Murray State University, I want to
thank you for the faith that you have demonstrated
in is. My only ambition in this story is to
preserve the prestige and honor that should belong
to your father, and you.

Committee that is collecting materials on Nathan B.
Stubblefield.

I had frequent telephone conversations and much

University, I would like to offer to you our
facilities for storing, keeping, or reproducing any
materials that you may have. These materials could
be retained in your name, if you prefer. Copies of
the materials would also be welcomed by our
University. I understand that much of the material
I collected from 1930-47 is now in the hands of the
Chamber of Commerce here at Murray.

Through the years I have been able to supply
Bernard with clippings and copies of some of this
material.

( Fri., 11-11:3O PM., KCOP) A warm tribute to
Samuel Goldwyn and his indelible mark on Hollywood
featured this outing of "The Troy Cory Evening
Show," a diverting half-hour combining the songs of
the star-host with interviews. It's a moderately
budgeted show aimed at the syndication market,
would seem to have a chance there.
•••
Jack Foreman, general manager of the Goldwyn
Studios, was' quizzed by Cory and clips from some
of Goldwyn's milestone pix, were shown. They
included "Best Years of our Lives," "Wuthering'
Heights" and "Guys And Dolls." Foreman spoke with
affection of Goldwyn and his yarns about one of the
industry pioneers were interestingly told.
•••
This show was obviously shot before that fire at
the Goldwyn Studios, and Foreman was telling how
they planned a new building 1 and other expansion,
One Foreman anecdote of particular interest. I
concerned the late Walt Disney, telling how many
years ago Disney had approached Goldwyn and asked
him to distribute his product but Goldwyn's
partners (in UA at that time) felt cartoons were
beneath their dignity.
•••
Cory has a good voice, presented several tunes, his
best rendition being on "Behind Closed Doors." A
singing-dancing group labeled The Passionettes
offered little. Cory's daughter, Priscilla,
provided an able, assist. Martin Green is
