scopecontent
{"value"=>"<p>Series III holds audio and moving image recordings of Kert's performances in theater productions, events, and cabaret acts dating from 1946 to 2013.</p> <p>Moving image recordings are mostly of Kert's performances at events (such as the White House in 1988 and the Tony Awards in 1974), theatrical productions, nightclub shows, and promotional appearances, as well as footage of Kert's memorial service and his sister, Anita Ellis. There are videos of trips to Turkey from 1995, as well as family videos from the 1990s, which may belong to Kert's partner, Ron Pullen.</p> <p>The audio recordings mostly cover performances or rehearsals of musicals starring Kert in Broadway, Off-Broadway, tours, or regional productions. Other audio recordings include Kert's 1960 album <span class=\"title\">Larry Kert Sings Leonard Bernstein</span>, interviews with Kert, Kert and Carol Lawrence's cabaret act, multiple recordings of Anita Ellis singing, and songs sent to Kert by various composers.</p> <p>Be advised, Al Jolson-related audio and moving image recordings include images and words that can be harmful and offensive.</p>"}
