“A New Marionette Theatre”: An Introduction

ABSTRACT This is a short introduction to the incomplete article “A New Marionette Theatre” found in a folder of two articles labeled “James Light Transcripts” in the Billy Rose Theatre Collection at the New York Public Performing Arts Library. The research points to the probability that marionette artist Remo Bufano likely wrote “A New Marionette Theatre” and that both articles were used to apply for Guggenheim Fellowships in 1928, which both Light and Bufano were awarded in 1929; this is likely why they are found together.
