{"value"=>"<p>This series spans from the 1890s to 1976, and contains photographs; correspondence; programs; sheet music; tour schedules; a plugging chart (a hand drawn chart of the sockets in the plugboard and the placement of the stage lights in the theater); production cost lists; set design drawings; and notes from Thelma Chandler's work as a stage manager. The series contains Chandler's biographical notes that explain how she got her start working for Eva Le Gallienne at the Civic Repertory Theatre in the 1930s as an assistant stage manager. Chandler held onto letters from Le Gallienne and Margaret Webster, with whom she worked closely for nearly a decade.</p> <p>In the Webster correspondence, Webster describes her daily work as a director and producer, as well as her romantic relationships with Le Gallienne and Pamela Frankau, the English novelist. The series details Chandler's professional life touring with the Margaret Webster Shakespeare Company through correspondence, photographs, programs, sheet music, tour schedules, and production cost lists. Chandler maintained photographs of famous stage and screen actors from the 1890s to the 1950s, some of which are signed. Of note are photographs of Le Gallienne's 1932 stage production of <span class=\"title\">Alice in Wonderland</span> and a plugging chart from the 1965 to 1966 North American tour of <span class=\"title\">Funny Girl</span>.</p>"}
