{"value"=>"<p>Hazel Lockwood Muller was the supervisor of dance and lecture programs for the American Museum of Natural History, New York. She began her career at the museum in 1922. In 1939 Muller initiated dance recitals in the Indian Hall and in 1942 began holding formal concerts in the Museum's auditorium. In 1945 she was officially appointed supervisor of dance and lecture programs.</p> <p>Muller's most popular program was <span class=\"title\">Around the World with Dance and Song</span> (1943-1952). The program introduced audiences to world dance, adding a living component to museum exhibits. Muller arranged for lecture-demonstrations of dance by groups from around the world. She also designed the Museum's illustrative music program, which used a collection of records to pipe music and sound effects into exhibit halls.</p> <p>As a result of <span class=\"title\">Around the World With Dance and Song</span>'s success, Muller was asked to author radio scripts for the program <span class=\"title\">Dance Horizons</span> which aired on WNYC from 1945 to 1946. The show was hosted by Muller, and was a scripted interview format with various performers who were set to appear at <span class=\"title\">Around the World with Dance and Song</span>.</p>"}

There are also scripts from her radio show, <span class=\"title\">Dance Horizons</span>.</p> <p><span class=\"title\">Around the World With Dance and Song</span> files include programs, performer research files, and notecards with Muller's introductory remarks. The performer research files hold promotional material, clippings, notes, and correspondence on various individual performers or troupes under consideration for the program. Some performers have their own files (notable artists include La Meri and Reginald and Gladys Laubin), but others are grouped by region or dance type such as Russian or folk dance. Muller's introductory remarks are alphabetical by artist and cover the background of each performer as well as announcements about future performances.</p> <p>The illustrative music files hold program lists with albums and songs used for each exhibit hall, a list of albums available for Muller's use, and annual reports to the Museum on the success of the program. The <span class=\"title\">Dance Horizons</span> files hold radio scripts, some with \"revised as broadcast\" annotations.</p>"}
