{"value"=>"<p>Series I contains materials relating to the personal and professional life of dancer, choreographer, and teacher David Lichine. These include ballet materials, choreographic notes, correspondence, contracts, identity papers, programs, and photographs. The ballet materials hold photographs, notes, press releases, and plot breakdowns. Choreographic notes consist of two notebooks with ideas and sketches, one in Russian. Lichine's correspondence is business related, with many telegrams of congratulations, letters referring to reviews, and contract negotiations. Lichine's many identification documents reflect his status as a refugee, and allowed for his passage between countries while he was an immigrant in France and before being granted his United States Citizenship. There are photographs of Lichine in costume and rehearsing dancers for his many ballets. Screenplays written (but never produced) by Lichine during his time in Hollywood are here. Arrangement is alphabetical by subject.</p>"}
