{"value"=>"The Helen Hayes files of the Lucy Kroll Agency consist of correspondence and contracts beginning in 1956 and continuing until 1975. The papers document the relationship between Helen Hayes and especially Lucy Kroll, head of the agency. Though by no means a complete record of Helen Hayes' career the papers do give an in-depth look of the State Department tours which Helen Hayes participated in during the 1960's."}
