{"value"=>"<p>This series, the largest in the collection, contains hundreds of scripts for Channing's concert performances, film and television appearances, and theater productions, dating from 1940 to the 1990s. It is arranged into three subseries: Concerts, Television and Film, and Theater.</p> <p>Writers are indicated in the container list when known, as well as number of copies when more than one is present. Schedules, letters, and notes accompany some scripts, particularly those for film and television. Scripts are frequently annotated.</p> <p>Roughly half the scripts in the entire series are for the television program, <span class=\"title\">The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show</span> (1950-1958). Channing never appeared on the show, though her husband, Charles Lowe, was its producer. Channing did star in its follow-up, <span class=\"title\">The George Burns Show</span>, in 1959; scripts for that show are in this series.</p> <p>Additionally, most theater scripts are for plays and musicals that did not involve Channing. They were mostly given to her as a courtesy from acquaintances or to secure her interest.</p>"}
