Description: Autobiography of Rocco DeRusso. Includes some images, and a theatre poster.

Notes:

Rocco De Russo was born in Italy and began writing plays in 1914. His life was dedicated to the work of a playwright and actor, with his company, "Arte Vera", touring various cities in the United States presenting De Russo's productions. The performances were presented in auditoriums and high school gyms, in the 1940s and 50s according to flyers in the collection. De Russo's career in Italian-American theater was followed in Italian-American newspapers. Later in life the playwright turned poet and published some of his work in 'La Follia Di New York'. De Russo also wrote musical compositions, some of which were made into recording. He died on 14 June 1975.
