Collection Description

Historical Note

Allan Everett Sloane (pseudonym Ellison Carroll) was born in 1914 in New York City (NY). He was a writer for radio, television and films. Although he began his career as a newspaperman in 1936, Allan Sloane became a writer for radio in 1943 (Man Behind the Gun), later moving to television and films. A major focus of his writing was exceptional children. He once stated that he tried to draw the attention of his audience to the needs of children who were different, and often based the scripts on his own family. Another important focus was World War II, especially the suffering of children and displaced persons in Europe after the war. He traveled in Europe 1947-1949, interviewing and recording people. This led to the first tape-recorded documentary on American radio (We Went Back).

Scope and Content

The collection consists of scripts, clippings, correspondence and some photographs and tapes. Included with most scripts are explanatory notes typed by Sloane. Some of the script titles and their content are: The big story (newspapermen); Duty bound (draft evasion); Eleven Memory Street (displaced persons); Emily, Emily (Down syndrome); And James was a very small snail (autism); Kids like these (Down syndrome); Man behind the gun (WWII); Martin Luther (religious biography); Navy log (stories of Navy history); Radio readers digest (dramatization of war stories); Sit down, shut up or get out (exceptional children); This is my son (Down syndrome); Time to remember (folktale documentary); To all my friends on shore (sickle cell anemia); and Transatlantic call (international exchange documentary).
