{"value"=>"<p>Series I: Administrative Files consist of general correspondence and subject files documenting the interactions of the Prince office with theatre companies, agents, writers, actors and directors and general business not pertaining to specific productions. These materials cover all aspects of how a multi-million dollar production company started out: what organizations and individuals they corresponded with, how they handled contractual negotiations, investments, profits and losses and which records they considered important enough to retain. The files cover the years he was in partnership with Robert Griffith, from 1955-1961, and the years after Griffith's death.</p> <p>Two groups of separated general correspondence files are also present. Correspondents include George Abbott, Carol Burnett, Hermione Gingold, Angela Lansbury, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephan Sondheim, and Elizabeth Swados.
