{"value"=>"<p>This series contains files documenting the programs Ethel Burns produced and/or directed for WNYE and WCBS. Some of the WCBS programs were distributed nationally on the CBS network. Notes for each program specify the producing station. File contents can include scripts; episode listings; production and research notes; press releases, clippings, photographs, and other publicity materials; and correspondence and inter-departmental memos.</p> <p>The majority of the files (about 16 boxes) are devoted to Around The Corner, a television program for young children that ran from 1963 to 1970. Other programs with significant content include American Musical Theatre, Dial M For Music, It's Fun To Sing, and Our American Musical Heritage.</p> <p>The American Musical Theatre files have scripts for the first 28 episodes, press releases announcing many of the guests, and a separate folder documenting Richard Rodgers's appearance on the show. The Dial M For Music files contain photographs of the musicians performing on the show, including Louis Armstrong, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Max Roach, and Cannonball Adderley.</p> <p>The files for It's Fun To Sing contain most of the scripts for the series. The folders for Our American Musical Heritage contain a grant application to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to make the Emmy-winning series, which had been produced for local broadcast by WCBS, available for nationwide distribution on PBS.</p> <p>Other files in the series include the music programs Music Is…, Let's Make Music, The Man And The Music, Children's Musical Theatre, Tune-Up Time and Words And Music; general programs for children including Aladdin, Candles On The Cake, Jack And The Beanstalk, Neighbors And Friends and Pinocchio; A Contemporary Memorial, a program in memory of Robert Kennedy which featured jazz musicians; and A Gift Of The Heart, a Catholic Charities appeal broadcast. The files also contain proposals for projects that were never produced, such as a music show which would have been hosted by Woody Herman.</p>"}
