{"value"=>"<p>This series comprises both photos for Ellis Rabb’s career, as well as photos specifically related to the APA and APA-Phoenix. There are also contact sheets, a number of negatives, and a few slides.</p> <p>The APA photos span almost the entire decade of the company’s existence (1960-1970) and consist mostly of studio and production photos, but also include some publicity and rehearsal photos. For example, there are numerous publicity photos for the APA’s first professional engagement in Bermuda, as well as for the APA-Phoenix’s trip to Montreal in 1967. A number of head shots for individuals, (such as Keene Curtis and Rosemary Harris), and “members and friends” (such as Barry Bostwick, Morris Carnovsky, Eva Le Gallienne, Will Geer, and Cathleen Nesbitt) can also be found in this series. Of particular note are several photos of Princess Grace and Prince Ranier of Monaco visiting after a performance of <span class=\"title\">The Show-Off</span> (Huntington Hartford Theatre, Los Angeles, 1967).</p> <p>The Ellis Rabb photos include portraits from the 1950s to the 1980s, and photos documenting his theater work both as director and performer, from the Wellesley Summer Theatre and School (1946-1947), to his portrayal of Lady Bracknell in <span class=\"title\">The Importance of Being Earnest</span>at the Old Globe Theatre (1982) and at the John Drew Theater (1983). Portraits include a photo of a sketch of Rabb by Russel [sic] Redmond. There are also several photos of Rabb receiving awards, such the Clarence Derwent Award in 1957, and an Honorary Doctorate from Southwestern (College) at Memphis in 1977.</p>"}
