{"value"=>"<p>The first meeting to discuss ITI / U.S. was held in New York City on June 18, 1947 at ANTA (American National Theatre and Academy) headquarters, and was attended by such notables as John Gielgud, Cheryl Crawford, Norris Houghton, and Clarence Derwent. The first meeting was run by Rosamond Gilder, as were several subsequent New York meetings. The U.S. Center was formally established in late 1948 as an adjunct of ANTA rather than as a new, separate organization. Its Presidents were listed at that time as Clarence Derwent and Moss Hart, and its first Director was Rosamond Gilder.</p> <p>The financing of the U.S. National Center was difficult: devoid of government funding, the U.S. was still expected to contribute a larger sum to ITI than most other countries. A description of much of the funding issues of ITI / U.S. may be found in Subseries 4: Correspondence / Paris Headquarters.</p> <p>The founding of ITI / U.S. and the history of ANTA are intertwined: these records, particularly the board minutes (Subseries 2 and 2A), reflect that linkage. Ms. Gilder held office in both organizations simultaneously.</p>"}
