Carl Glick was born in Marshalltown, Iowa, in 1890, the son of a manufacturer of gasoline engines and furnaces. He graduated from Northwestern University in 1915. During his freshman year, he played bit parts for the Donald Robertson players at the Chicago Art Institute, for which he was paid fifty cents a performance. He supported himself during his junior year in college by writing moving picture scenarios. He left college for one year to travel with a repertory theatre troupe, an adventure which ended with his being stranded in a small town when the troupe disbanded. After graduating from Northwestern, Glick returned to Iowa to start one of the first community theatres in Iowa, in Waterloo. After this he directed little theatres in San Antonio, Texas, and Sarasota, Florida. Between productions, he wrote plays and short stories. During this time he wrote the plays The Police Matron, It Isn't Done, Outclassed, The Fourth Mrs. Phillips, Suncold, and Ten Days Later, among others. Between 1919 and 1922 he wrote many short stories for such magazines as Saucy Stories, Fascinating Fiction, Parisienne and New Parisienne, Black Mask Magazine, and 10 Story Book, some of them using various pseudonyms. In 1932, not finding any more little theatres to direct, he moved to New York.
In New York, he was sent to Chinatown by the Emergency Works Bureau as athletic director of a boys club for the Church of All Nations. Here he became fascinated with the Chinese in America and found a topic for his writing talent. His books Shake Hands with the Dragon, Three Times I Bow, Double Ten, and Oswald's Pet Dragon all arose from his acquaintance with and respect for the Chinese in America. During the research and writing of Double Ten, he met and became friends with A. E. O'Banion, with whom he wrote two children's books, Mickey, the Horse That Volunteered and Mickey Wins His Feathers. As well as writing about the Chinese in America, he wrote mysteries (Laughing Bhudda, Death Sits In), about community theatre in America (Curtains Going Up), and produced a chatty autobiographical work (I'm a Busybody). His play, The Unconquered, was the first play produced with WPA funds. He married Sue Ann Wilson June 27, 1936.
A man of diverse
talents, he was sometimes a professor at universities and colleges such as the
Universities of Colorado and Montana, New York University, and California Western
University; sometimes a director of theatre; and sometimes a playwright and
author. His last appointment was as professor of English and Drama at California
Western University in San Diego, from which he retired in 1961. During his lifetime
he published seventeen books and nine plays, as well as many short stories and
magazine articles. He died on March 8, 1971.
This collection comprises twenty-one linear feet and contains correspondence, photographs, programs, prints of articles and short stories, manuscripts, galley proofs, brochures, and newspaper clippings covering the years 1915 to 1971. Correspondence about stories, articles, and books are filed with the manuscript, where one exists.

Short Stories and essays continued
Some of these entries are followed by the phrase "See Glick book." Some of the reprints from old magazines are so brittle that the Special Collections Department has photocopied them and placed them in a book in the Iowa Authors collection. If you only need the contents of the story, and not the physical magazine reprint, we ask that you look at the story in this book, in order to minimize handling of the fragile copies.
For those titles followed by the word "Correspondence" we have correspondence only, no manuscript or reprint. The text of some of these stories can be found in the three volumes of reprints Glick has commercially bound. Where there is correspondence as well as a manuscript or reprint, the letters are filed with the manuscript or reprint.

Glick numbered his scrapbooks himself. Of those he numbered, we have volumes two through seven. The sequence is started, therefore, with a scrapbook, unnumbered by Glick, of his letters home "being something of a diary," according to Glick. The sequence then progresses through the six numbered scrapbooks and continues with numbering assigned by staff at Special Collections, being roughly chronological. The early scrapbooks contain clippings and photographs, mostly having to do with his acting and university careers; the later ones deal mostly with his books and little theatre experiences.
