{"value"=>"<p>This series contains mostly clippings, but also correspondence, programs, and some photographs relating to theater, film, and television productions on which Mosel worked as a performer, director, or writer. The papers chronicle his early appearances as an actor in high school and college productions, as well as in the Broadway production of James B. Allardice’s play <span class=\"title\">At War with the Army</span> (1949). Especially well-documented is <span class=\"title\">All the Way Home</span>, the play for which he received the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. Of particular note is the U.S. Copyright Office certificate for <span class=\"title\">Jinxed</span>, a teleplay that aired on <span class=\"title\">Chevrolet Tele-Theatre</span> January 17, 1949. The 1961 musical Mosel wrote with Jerry Herman, <span class=\"title\">Madame Aphrodite</span>, and his 1984 play <span class=\"title\">Here Lies Lucy Clough</span> are also represented.</p> <p>A large number of the papers document Mosel’s work for television, including <span class=\"title\">Ernie Barger is Fifty</span> (<span class=\"title\">Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse</span>, 1953), <span class=\"title\">The Haven</span> (<span class=\"title\">Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse</span>, 1953), <span class=\"title\">The Petrified Forest</span> (<span class=\"title\">Producer’s Showcase</span>, 1955), <span class=\"title\">The Innocent Sleep</span> (<span class=\"title\">Playhouse 90</span>, 1958), <span class=\"title\">That’s Where the Town’s Going</span> (<span class=\"title\">Westinghouse Presents</span>, 1962), <span class=\"title\">Secrets</span>(<span class=\"title\">CBS Playhouse</span>, 1968), and <span class=\"title\">The Adams Chronicles</span> (PBS, 1977). There are also materials relating to the films <span class=\"title\">Dear Heart</span>(1964) and <span class=\"title\">Up the Down Staircase</span>(1967). Of particular interest are the materials on the screening of <span class=\"title\">Up the Down Staircase</span>at Fifth International Film Festival, held in Moscow in 1967, and Mosel’s report of his experiences there.</p>"}
