{"value"=>"<p>These are administrative files maintained by Golden in the course of his work as a producer, theatrical manager, and theatre owner, as well as those pertaining to his humanitarian efforts both within and outside of the theatrical community. Material includes a 1925 circular from Golden proposing the creation of a producing managers' trade association (separate from his Managers' Protective Association); a 1932 journal detailing the management of the Majestic, Royal, and Masque theaters; material relating to the activities of the Stage Relief Fund; material relating to the activities of the Advisory Committee on Entertainment for the 1939 New York World's Fair; snapshots and resumes submitted for the 1943-1944 John Golden Auditions, including a submission by a young Jean Stapleton; and drafts of writings and speeches by or about John Golden. Of particular note are the play submissions, which include synopses and frank appraisals by Golden or his staff of plays under consideration or written on spec for production. Among the plays critiqued are early and unproduced works by Claire Boothe Luce (then Claire Boothe Brokaw). This series is arranged alphabetically.</p>"}
