{"value"=>"<p>This series contains souvenir programs, music scores, financial records, photographs, window cards, clipping enlargements, several costume designs, and awards given to Hildy Parks. The souvenir programs are from a number of Cohen's stage productions, such as <span class=\"title\">Hamlet</span> (1964), <span class=\"title\">Hellzapoppin '67</span>, and a program mockup for the Broadway-bound <span class=\"title\">Hellzapoppin</span> starring Jerry Lewis. The scores include conductor scores and instrumental parts for several of Cohen's theater and television productions, including <span class=\"title\">A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine</span>(1980), <span class=\"title\">Hellzapoppin '67</span> (1967) <span class=\"title\">La Tragedie de Carmen</span> (1983), and <span class=\"title\">Night of 100 Stars III</span> (1990).</p> <p> Financial papers include ledger books and sheets, and payroll sheets, both for productions and for Cohen's subsidiaries Bentwood Television, Inc., Playgoers Club, Inc., and Theatrical Subsidiaries, Inc. There are also stock certificates for the latter two companies. (Some financial material is restricted because it contains personal information.)</p> <p> Photographs are both loose and in albums. <span class=\"title\"> Tony Awards</span> albums contain photos of the awards show and rehearsals, as well as related events such as the nominations luncheon. The <span class=\"title\"> La Tragedie de Carmen</span> albums also include performance and rehearsal photos. Of particular note are the group photos of stars onstage for both <span class=\"title\">Night of 100 Stars</span> (1982) and <span class=\"title\">CBS: On the Air</span> (1978). The window cards are mostly for Cohen's productions, including some London shows otherwise undocumented in the collection, such as <span class=\"title\">His Hers Theirs</span> by Hugh and Margaret Williams (1969) and <span class=\"title\">Overheard</span> by Peter Ustinov (1981), but also include several for productions by others.</p> <p> There also two costume designs by Alvin Colt, one from <span class=\"title\">Waiting in the Wings</span>(1999), the other from <span class=\"title\">Night of 100 Stars</span> (1982); both are inscribed to Hildy Parks. There are also two citations for Parks, including one from the Actors' Fund for writing and producing the first two <span class=\"title\">Night of 100 Stars</span> programs; the other is the Proclamation, by the Manhattan Borough President, of Hildy Parks Day, March 12, 1996.</p>"}
