Both Mildred Orrick and her husband, Jesse Orrick, worked on this production of the 1920 Pulitzer Prize-winning Eugene O'Neil drama, she as costumer designer and he as set designer. Orrick's watercolor costume design drawings are signed "Boykin," her maiden name. The folder also includes a program.

Costume design drawings probably commissioned by director Michael Strange, the stage pseudonyme of Blanche Oelrichs (1890-1950). According to the memoir Who Will Tell Me True (1940), Strange scuttled the one-woman show, Forever Young, circa 1937.

In 1939, the General Motors Company hired Norman Bel Geddes and George Wittbold to design and build an exhibit titled “Futurama” for the New York World’s Fair. Bel Geddes brought Mildred Orrick to the project to design the miniature figures for the exhibition. In addition to Orrick's sketches, the files include a series of detailed progress reports on an array of technical and aesthetic elements of the complex exhibit as it evolved.
