Biographical Note
Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Content NoteThe Alma Gluck Scrapbooks and Other Materials span the period 1902-1940, with the majority of the materials dating from 1909-1917. Gluck's distinguished career as an operatic singer is chronicled in eleven scrapbooks filled with clippings of performance reviews and other musical activities, including recording releases with Victor Records and voice studies with Marcella Sembrich. Interspersed are articles pertaining to personal matters such as her divorce from Bernard Gluck, marriage to Efrem Zimbalist, and other subjects. The "Photographs" series consists of fifty-nine black and white images of family portraits, concert tours, and assorted publicity shots. Included are photographs of Efrem Zimbalist with Walter Damrosch and an album from Gluck's World War I performances at Camp Lewis, Washington. The "Music" series is comprised almost entirely of annotated and unannotated printed piano-vocal scores, the exception being a tunebook with melodic lines scrawled in the singer's hand. The remaining materials include several letters, articles, obituaries and sympathy cards, and reviews of Marcia Davenport's biography on Mozart.
