{"value"=>"<p>Jack Rubin (1910-1952) was an American writer for radio and film. From 1948 to 1951, Rubin's comedic and dramatic scripts regularly appeared on several radio programs including <span class=\"title\">The Hallmark Playhouse</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Hardy Family</span>, <span class=\"title\">This is Hollywood</span>, <span class=\"title\">Chicken Every Sunday</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Screen Directors' Playhouse</span>.</p> <p>Rubin frequently collaborated with other writers including Edward Dein, Oscar Brodney, Aubrey Wisberg, and Jameson Brewer. Brewer and Rubin co-wrote over a dozen episodes of <span class=\"title\">The Hardy Family</span>, starring Mickey Rooney and Fay Holden. Often Rubin's radio scripts were adaptations from the stage and screen. Rubin adapted the George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart play <span class=\"title\">You Can't Take it With You</span> for NBC radio, where it aired in the afternoons and starred Walter Brennan.</p> <p>Rubin also wrote screenplays for film, most notably the crime drama <span class=\"title\">The Undercover Man</span> (Columbia Pictures 1949). Rubin, who was represented by the William Morris Agency, died in Beverly Hills, California in 1952.</p>"}

{"value"=>"<p>The Jack Rubin papers (1943-1952) consist of scripts written by Rubin for dozens of radio programs, films, and television shows. The collection documents both Rubin's produced and unproduced works. Most of the scripts are for episodes of <span class=\"title\">The Hallmark Playhouse</span>, the NBC radio drama series <span class=\"title\">Screen Directors' Playhouse</span>, and <span class=\"title\">This is Hollywood</span> (presented by Camay and hosted by Hedda Hopper). Rubin's work for <span class=\"title\">The Hardy Family</span> and <span class=\"title\">Chicken Every Sunday</span> is also represented. Episode numbers and titles appear in the container list.</p> <p>Although Rubin wrote the screenplay for the motion picture, <span class=\"title\">The Undercover Man</span>, this collection only contains a synopsis of the film and a 1947 memo from Rubin to producer Robert Rossen discussing why Rubin wanted to travel east to conduct research for the film. (b. 8 f. 1)</p> <p>Many of the scripts are undated and there is one file of unidentified material (b. 8 f. 2).</p>"}
