{"value"=>"<p>The earliest correspondence consists of postcards from Harold Clurman inviting Ms. Barker to Group Theatre meetings that were held in various apartments. Other correspondence includes responses from potential sponsors to whom solicitation letters had been sent, a potential booking for the Group in Colorado Springs, and an invitation to an “orgy” from Bobby Lewis. Ms. Barker’s own party invitation is a hand-drawn flier in the form of a theatrical herald for a production called <span class=\"title\">Bottoms Up</span>. A 1932 memo from a Miss Demarest of Macy’s regarding the Group Theatre order for clothing, complains that the staff is “simply not geared to stand the vagaries of actresses.” The correspondence from 1965 to 1988 relates to works written about the Group Theatre.</p>"}
