This collection was a gift of Sawyer Free Library. These materials were loaned to and returned by the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution to be microfilmed in 1983.

Brief Description: This collection consists of 48 folders of correspondence, minutes, reports, writings, publicity, financial records, Festival catalogues, stationary, receipts, and newspaper clippings etc.; 2 scrapbooks; 4 guest books; 1 notebook of comments; 1 envelope of photographs; and additional material up through 1961.

Play Prize for 1953 Awarded to Clayton B. Stockbridge for "Gloucester Story."

The scrapbook in Box 2, Series VI, was compiled by Agnes Stockbridge, wife of Clayton B. Stockbridge. Mr. Stockbridge was the winner of the 1953 Cape Ann Literary Award. His play, "Gloucester Story," earned the author a $100 prize and a silver trophy donated by Russel Crouse. Crouse, a summer resident of Annisquam, was the celebrated playwright of "Life with Father" and "Call Me Madam."

The contest was the Literature and Drama part of the Gloucester Summer Festival. The Literature and Drama Festival was chaired by Hyde Cox with the support of Mayor Joseph J. Grillo. A play, "The Witch of Dogtown," written by Brown University Prof. S. Foster Damon, a summer resident of Annisquam, was judged second best and was to be presented in 1954.

Mr. Stockbridge was a local plumber who wrote plays as a hobby, none ever being presented. The "Gloucester Story," set at the turn of the century (1900) is about a young man's desire to go to sea in a fishing schooner. He is faced with stern opposition from his parents and girlfriend, who are all too aware of the loss of life among fishermen. The schooner collides with a ocean liner; all hands are rescued except for the young man. But eventually it turns out that he too was saved and so there is a happy reunion.

The play was a huge success, being presented in Gloucester in 1953, 1954, 1963 and 1969. It received positive reviews not only from the Gloucester Times but from all Boston and New York newspapers. Much was made over a plumber writing an award-winning play. In the following years, no play was deemed acceptable for the festival.
