{"value"=>"<p>The collection contains scripts for plays, poems, photographs, membership booklets, and a scrapbook of photographs. The collection spans from ca. 1890 to 1931.</p> <p>Scripts include twenty-one typescripts and copies; some have markings. Most of the scripts are undated, but are probably from the early 1900s. Titles include <span class=\"title\">Cupid's Apt to Catch You</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Devil's Pal</span>, <span class=\"title\">A Hundred to One Shot</span> (1910), and <span class=\"title\">The Pride of New York</span> (with Walter Montague, 1907).</p> <p>There are family photographs, some of early 20th century airplanes, ships and cars, and one possibly of cellist Jean Gerardy. The scrapbook consists of photographs of people (possibly Young and his family) in various cities, as well as one of a woman in a car outside the Young Motor Company. There are also several photographs after a flight from Long Beach, California to Jacksonville, Florida (1912) and a photograph of people watching daredevil Harry Rich perform on the roof of a building.</p> <p>Also included are a membership booklet for the Freemasons of New York City (1906) and <span class=\"title\">The Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom Year Book</span> listing the Young Aeroplane Co. of Kansas City, Missouri (1914). There are also a few agreements for both theatrical and other business ventures, a list of contracts, several self-improvement tracts by various authors, and a wooden ruler.</p>"}
