Portrait Sketches, 1937-1941

This series consists of 127 large (8.5 in. by 11 in.) portrait sketches done by Sweetser on the backs of radio show scripts dating from 1937-1941. The subjects of the sketches are radio personalities with whom Sweetser worked, including Betty Garde, Ed Herlihy, Milton Cross, Ralph Edwards, Ruth Russell and Arthur Hughes from "Just Plain Bill," and Karl Swenson and Lucille Wall from "Lorenzo Jones." There are two sets of sketches, 52 of women and 75 of men, with each set arranged in alphabetical order in Boxes 1 and 2, respectively. Each person is given an individual folder; numbers in parentheses on the upper left side of a folder indicate multiple sketches of the person.
