{"value"=>"<p>This series contains papers belonging to each of the Brown Brothers individually, as well as to both of them, and documents relating to the Brown and Chamberlain families. Included are agent licenses, bios, medical records, school records, invitations, portrait drawings, and clippings. Programs range from those documenting Chamberlain Brown’s early appearances on the stage to appearances later in life at professional events. Other programs are probably from plays, films, and concerts they attended or those in which their clients appeared; some are autographed. Of special note are two programs for Clark Gable’s appearances in <span class=\"title\">Anna Christie</span>and <span class=\"title\">Sinner</span>at the Palace Theatre in Houston (1928). Datebooks kept by Lyman Brown from 1928 - 1930, contain a description of the day of their mother’s death in 1929.</p> <p>The Brown and Chamberlain Family Papers include some correspondence between family members and correspondence from outside institutions regarding family history. There is also a drawing, probably by General Samuel Emery Chamberlain, of Maple Hall, a family home. Of particular interest is correspondence regarding the donation of the illustrated diary kept by General Samuel E. Chamberlain during the Mexican War (1846-1848). (The diary was donated to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1956). Family wills and trusts are filed with Legal and Financial Papers.</p>"}
