abstract
{"value"=>"Lucie Lancaster (1907-1998) was an American actor who appeared in theater, television, and film. Her papers include photographs, programs, clippings, scripts, sheet music, notes, and other papers documenting her career from the 1930s to 1983. Most of the papers pertain to theatrical productions, including <span class=\"title\">The Music Man</span> (1958 national tour), <span class=\"title\">The Girl Who Came to Supper</span> (1963), and <span class=\"title\">Pippin</span> (1972). The collection also contains two costume design sketches, including one drawing for <span class=\"title\">Bajour</span> (1964) by designer Freddy Wittop. The collection includes sides and excerpts of scripts for Lancaster's various theatrical roles, as well as full scripts for <span class=\"title\">The Girl Who Came to Supper</span> and \"The Old Lady Shows Her Medals,\" an episode of <span class=\"title\">The United States Steel Hour</span>. Scripts and sides have some handwritten changes, and sometimes contain production papers such as rehearsal or filming schedules. The collection also includes sheet music from <span class=\"title\">The Girl Who Came to Supper</span>, <span class=\"title\">Bajour</span>, and <span class=\"title\">How Now Dow Jones</span> (1967). There are headshots and publicity photographs of Lancaster from throughout her career. The earliest item in the collection is a notebook, dating to about the 1920s, labeled \"Lucy Ruby, Grand Theatre Luton.\" The notebook contains handwritten transcripts of dialogue from plays."}
