{"value"=>"<p><span class=\"persname\">Abe Burrows</span> (1910-1985) was a playwright, director and radio personality. Born in New York City, he began in radio as a writer for shows such as <span class=\"title\">Texaco Star Theatre</span>, <span class=\"title\">Duffy's Tavern</span>, and the <span class=\"title\">Joan Davis Show</span>. He hosted two of his own radio shows, <span class=\"title\">The Abe Burrows Show</span> (CBS, 1946-47) and <span class=\"title\">Breakfast with Burrows</span> (CBS, 1949). He often appeared as a guest on television shows such as <span class=\"title\">PM East</span> and the <span class=\"title\">Dinah Shore Show</span>.</p> <p>Burrows started his entertainment career by performing satirical songs at Hollywood parties. These songs became the basis for his radio shows, where he would perform them along with witty commentary about the issues of the day. After radio, he became a prominent Broadway director. He also wrote the books for many successful shows, including <span class=\"title\">Guys and Dolls</span> and <span class=\"title\">How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying</span>.</p>"}
