Sub-series 1 - Music Box Material: This series contains copies of Fred Barzyk's short film The Music Box in different forms (16mm motion picture, Beta SP master, Beta, and VHS video recordings), photographs taken on location, and a voiceover script. The script was apparently written several years after the original project and intended for use in an edited version of the film. Fred Barzyk and Dick McCullough created The Music Box in summer 1957. The short film is a dream-like fantasy that focuses on a young boy (played by Earl Kolanda) and a mysterious stranger (Harry Zumach). Barzyk was the writer/director and McCullough co-director/cameraman. Both were helped by volunteers from Marquette University's theater program and the School of Speech.
