{"value"=>"<p> The Productions series consists mostly of reproductions of scores, lead sheets, and instrumental parts for productions on which Richard Barstow worked. These include Fred Allen's NBC-TV show (1950), an ice show, probably featuring \"Belita,\" industrial shows <span class=\"title\">Motorama '55</span>by Victor Young and <span class=\"title\">Powerama (More Power to You)</span>, for General Motors, and songs from the Judy Garland film <span class=\"title\">A Star Is Born</span>(1954). There are also scripts for <span class=\"title\">Symphony of Fashion</span> (1950) and <span class=\"title\">Cavalcade of Fashion</span> (1954).</p> <p>The most thoroughly documented production is <span class=\"title\">M.O.D.</span> (a.k.a. <span class=\"title\">The Rainbow Years</span>) (1958), a performance marking the twentieth anniversary of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (the March of Dimes). Richard and Edith Barstow produced and directed this event that featured celebrity performers such as Don Ameche, Eddie Cantor, Lillian Gish, and Rudy Vallee. There are piano, vocal, and conductor scores, as well as instrumental parts for two numbers from the show. There is also a script titled <span class=\"title\">The Rainbow Years</span>. A conductor's score for <span class=\"title\">M.O.D.</span> can also be found in the Oversized series.</p>"}
