{"value"=>"<p>This series consists of scrapbooks primarily filled with clippings, but several scrapbooks also contain a few photos, programs, and publicity materials on Cohen himself, his family, and his productions. The scrapbooks provide the most complete documentation in the collection of Cohen's early career and life in the 1940s and early 1950s, including the Red Barn Theatre he ran in Locust Valley, Long Island in 1941. They are also almost the only documentation in the papers for Cohen's organization of the First American Congress of Theatre (1974) and his attempt to convene the U.S. Bicentennial World Theatre Festival in 1975. Clippings on Cohen's work in \"bringing Broadway to Baltimore\" at the Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore can also be found in the scrapbooks. The <span class=\"title\">Tony Awards</span> and <span class=\"title\">Night of 100 Stars I</span> and <span class=\"title\"> II</span> are especially well documented. The <span class=\"title\"> Baker Street</span> scrapbook contains a small vinyl recording, from <span class=\"title\">Show</span> magazine, of Richard Burton performing \"A Married Man,\" a song from the musical. Of particular interest are the clippings in the <span class=\"title\">Beyond the Fringe</span> (New York) scrapbook documenting the February 9, 1963 visit to the John Golden Theatre by President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy, where they received a standing ovation, delaying the curtain by eight-minutes.</p>"}
