Notes on Eugene O'Neill by Arthur Shields. Notes on Eugene O'Neill by Arthur Shields. Shields describes his experiences of first meeting O'Neill in 1947 having been asked to direct the Theatre Guild's production of 'Moon of the Misbegotten'. Shields writes 'I have no definite recollection of the actual things he said that first day but after we had been together for about two hours I got the impression that I would have the help of someone friendly.' He goes on 'I don't know how familiar you are with the circumstances of the closing of the play in Detroit.

End note reads 'Above released to Mr. Louis Sheaffer, 5 Montague Terrace, Brooklyn Heights, N.Y.
