{"value"=>"<p>The scripts files which are mainly typescripts and photocopies of scripts also include two holograph scripts, <span class=\"title\">The Firefly</span> and <span class=\"title\">Kid Boots</span>. Two works which have a considerable amount of material in the collection are <span class=\"title\">Choose Your Partners</span> and <span class=\"title\">Roberta</span>.</p> <p><span class=\"title\">Choose Your Partners</span> (approximately 2 boxes) is a play based on a story by Edward Boykin with music by Peter De Rose. The same story had served as a basis for <span class=\"title\">Hayfoot-Strawfoot</span> which Harbach had written with Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein. That play never opened in New York, and Kern and Hammerstein both removed themselves from the production, leaving Harbach free to use the story and his lyrics for the new work with Peter De Rose. <span class=\"title\">Choose Your Partners</span> was revised many times, but never produced. It was also known as <span class=\"title\">April Was Singing</span>,<span class=\"title\"> Born In April</span>, <span class=\"title\">Bugles In April</span>, <span class=\"title\">Counter Melody</span>, <span class=\"title\">Hands Off</span> and <span class=\"title\">Meet Miss April</span>. For filing purposes all the scripts have been filed under <span class=\"title\">Choose Your Partners</span>, although the title pages do vary. [Scores for <span class=\"title\">Choose Your Partner</span> are filed under <span class=\"title\">Counter Melody</span>.]</p> <p>The files for <span class=\"title\">Roberta</span> (1 box) include several versions of the script, a prompt book and a copy of the story <span class=\"title\">Gowns by Roberta</span>, by Alice Duer Miller, upon which the play was based.</p> <p>Among other titles represented in the scripts files are <span class=\"title\">The Cat and the Fiddle</span>, <span class=\"title\">Golden Dawn</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Lady in the Window</span> ( also may have been known as <span class=\"title\">The Lavender Lady</span>), <span class=\"title\">Sunny</span>,<span class=\"title\"> Susi</span>, <span class=\"title\">Desert Song</span>, <span class=\"title\">June Love</span>, <span class=\"title\">No More Blondes</span>, <span class=\"title\">The O'Brien Girl</span>, <span class=\"title\">Up in Mabel's Room</span>, <span class=\"title\">Wildflower</span>, and <span class=\"title\">You're in Love</span>.</p>"}
