The Barry Shipman papers
MSS 90 |
 |
The Barry Shipman papers,
filling 42 boxes and occupying 18 feet of shelf space, document the long career
of a Hollywood scriptwriter who wrote and produced feature films, serial
cliffhangers, television westerns, and technical films. They also document
the role he played in the revival of interest in the career of his mother,
silent filmmaker Nell Shipman. The gift of Barry Shipman and later of his
family, they are part of the Special Collections Department in Boise State
University's Albertsons Library.
The collection is divided into ten series, outlined below,
with links to the descriptions of the series and an inventory of their contents.

Series 1: Biographical and Personal Papers
A
long list of Barry Shipman's film credits is found in Box 1, Folder 3 (Resume,
Film credits). Other notable items in this series include brief
biographical essays (Recollections) covering specific incidents in Shipman's
life and career (particularly some of his childhood experiences with his mother,
Nell Shipman, in California, Spokane, Washington, and at Priest Lake, Idaho);
rough drafts of federal employment applications, with a detailed record of his
education and work history; various publicity news clippings over the years; and
papers relating to Shipman's patents (particularly the Sun Tan Tree), his World
War II military service, and the Western Caravan film festival in Knoxville at
which he was to be honored in 1994.
The "Screenwriting" files include letters, reviews and other papers
relating to his well-received screenplay, "Stranger at My Door" (1956), as well
as studio correspondence revealing Barry Shipman's role in the writing of the
"Lone Ranger" serials for Republic Pictures in the 1930s. Among the many
poems Shipman wrote are three that offer a wry look at the experiences of extras
and other lesser actors in the Hollywood studios in the 1930s (Box 2, Folder 1).

Series III:
Correspondence
Barry Shipman’s
correspondents include members of his large extended family, lifelong friends,
colleagues from the film business, and researchers interested in his career and
that of his mother’s. Most of the correspondence preserved in the collection
dates from Shipman’s retirement years (after 1979), though there are a few
letters from earlier dates scattered throughout. Quite a few, if not most of
the files, contain reminiscences of his life and work, the most extensive of
which are the letters exchanged with Mike Newton (Box 6), a fan of the serials,
who peppered Shipman with questions about the making of the cliffhangers, and
Tom Trusky (Box 9), the Boise State professor who was instrumental in Nell
Shipman’s “revival.” Both sides of the correspondence are represented, as
Shipman kept not only the letters he received, but copies of his own letters as
well, which he churned out at a prolific rate on his word processor in the study
of his San Bernardino home.
Among the
correspondents represented are his lifelong friend Dick Diaz, who joined the
Nell Shipman entourage as a teenager in the 1920s in New England and
accompanied them to Florida and California; Barry's half brother and sister, Charles
Douglas Ayers and Daphne Ayers Feldman, children of Nell Shipman and Charles
Austin Ayers; his half-brothers on the Shipman side of the family, Robert and
Ernest Shipman, Jr., with whom he did not become acquainted until he was an
adult; Priest Lake friends Lloyd Peters, Dorothy Winslow Overmyer, and
Loie Pierson (his school teacher); World War II Marine Corps colleagues Frank
Adreon and Julian “Bud” Lesser; Linda Stirling (who starred in many of the
cliffhangers) and William Witney (who directed many); and a host of other
friends, associates, film fans and scholars. Correspondence with Douglas Bankson,
relating to their collaborative screenplay about Nell Shipman, is located in
Series IV.
The letters in the folders marked with
an asterisk (*) relate mainly to Nell Shipman’s life and career. Many of those
correspondents are also represented in the Tom
Trusky papers. Barry Shipman’s own extensive correspondence with his
mother, dating back to 1933, is found in the
Nell Shipman collection (MSS 81). Many of those letters he received
from his mother, and some he sent her in return, have been published in
Letters from God's Country: Nell Shipman, Selected Correspondence and Writings,
1912-1970 (Boise State University, 2003).

Series IV:
Nell Shipman
This series contains material about Nell Shipman written or collected by
Barry Shipman. It includes
memorabilia from the dedication of Nell Shipman Point, 1977; letters and other
papers (1993-1994) chronicling the discovery that the Doctors’ House museum in
Glendale, California, was once the home of Nell Shipman; papers about Nell
Shipman film screenings, especially ones Barry Shipman attended; and various
writings by Barry about Nell in the form of play scripts, film treatments,
proposals, and the like. There is a
large body of correspondence back and forth between Barry Shipman and his
childhood friend from Spokane, Douglas Bankson , who collaborated on a
screenplay (never produced) called “Nell.”
The earliest Nell Shipman-related proposal (“Nell Shipman Presents,”
Box 12, Folder 14) is dated about 1936, for
a series of films based on her works. There
is also documentation of a one-woman multi-media play based on Nell’s life
presented in Boise, Idaho, by Jenny Sternling in 1993.
Like one of Barry’s own works, it was entitled “Between Pictures.”
Barry's version of “Between Pictures” was produced in Hawaii in 1991 and
starred Nina Shipman as Nell. A videotape of the production is in
Series VI.
The general correspondence files (Series III) also contain much
correspondence relating to Nell Shipman.

Series VII: Works
for Television
This series contains
scripts (teleplays) and story outlines written for television by Barry Shipman.
The name of the television series is listed first, followed by the name of the
particular episode. Unless otherwise indicated, a script is represented;
story outlines and other papers (correspondence, etc.) are identified when they
occur. While a few of the scripts are Barry Shipman's own typewritten
versions, most are mimeographed shooting scripts prepared by the studio.
Barry Shipman did not copyright these scripts in his own name; they became the
property of the studios when accepted for production. The earliest work in
the series is the script for a pilot for a proposed Hoosier Hot Shots television
series, 1949 (Box 25, Folder 3); the latest are scripts for the Lassie series.

Series VIII:
Screenplays (Motion Pictures and Serials)
The screenplays in
Series VIII are scripts and treatments for both feature films and serials.
As in the case of the television scripts, a few (including Dick Tracy, Episode
One, 1937) are Barry Shipman's own typewritten versions, but most are duplicated
shooting scripts prepared by the studios. Several films are represented by
more than one version of the script. The dates following the names of the
scripts are the dates on the scripts themselves, and not necessarily the dates
the films were released.
Barry Shipman's most acclaimed film,
Stranger at My Door (1956), is represented by two treatments and several
versions of the script. The treatments and early versions are filed under
the original working title, "Jesse James Was My Neighbor" (Box 26), based on the
book of the same name. Only the final version was entitled "Stranger at My
Door" (Box 28, Folder 1). The James family estate objected to
Shipman's depiction of Jesse James in the script, so the name of the lead character
was changed to Clay Anderson. (Barry Shipman to Alan Virta, 9 February 1989, in
Box 4, Folder 8).
The shooting schedule for the Durango
Kid serial episode, Prairie Roundup (Box 30, Folder 8), reveals the
expeditious pace at which these serials were filmed. Prairie Roundup,
featuring Charles Starrett as the Durango Kid, was shot at the Columbia
Ranch in Burbank and the Iverson Ranch in Chatsworth in seven days in July 1950.
A few of the Durango scripts are not Shipman's, but were written by others.

Series IX:
Story outlines, Short stories, and Scripts
With one exception, the works in this
series are not known to have been produced or published. They include
short stories, story ideas, radio plays, proposals and scripts for feature
films, documentaries, and television, and other works of an unidentified or
miscellaneous nature. Almost all are in typescript form. The
earliest works in the series appear to be two short stories, "And So to Bedlam"
(written in 1930, when Barry was 18), and "The Personal Adventures of a Guinea
Pig," which may be even earlier. Other early works include stories
coauthored with his mother, Nell Shipman, in the 1930s, and some written for
producer Nat Levine. Television proposals in this series include story
ideas pitched to the producers of the Bonanza, Cheyenne, and Jetsons series.
One of Shipman's unfulfilled projects attracted press attention. The
Los Angeles Herald of February 8, 1936, featured a story about his research
on the religious society of Penitentes and its alleged link to the murder of
writer Carl Taylor in New Mexico (clipping included in the file on "The
Penitentes"). He was planning to write a screenplay about the subject.
