{"value"=>"<p>Production records consist mainly of lists of cast members, costumes, properties, and repertoire. Also included are portions of scripts with stage directions, lighting instructions, and other critical notes; rehearsal and production schedules; cards with cast members' measurements; route lists from touring companies; stage managers' reports; Hippodrome nurse's reports; costume sketches and stage diagrams (some delicate sketches have been put in box 119); descriptions of dances; programs; some bills; notes and memoranda. Approximately half of this material is alphabetical by production, the rest is a mixture of fragmentary or unidentified materials from various productions. Two shows are represented by quite a large amount of material: <span class=\"title\">The Big Show</span>, written and staged, 1916, by Burnside for the Hippodrome, and his <span class=\"title\">Miss Millions</span>, produced 1919.</p> <p>There is additional production material in the form of volumes and index cards. This includes: a group of alphabetical index cards, ca. 1919, listing male performers' names; addresses; “nationalities;” type, range, and quality of voice; appearance; and experience. Also, an order book, 1915-1916, containing records of orders made by the carpentry, electrical, engineering, house, nurse's, properties, and scenic departments of an unnamed theater (probably the Hippodrome); three volumes containing lists of plays, cast lists, and other production material; and four volumes, 1923-1924, and n.d., which appear to have belonged to the Charles Frohman Play Bureau, containing alphabetical lists of plays.</p> <p>Some very rough, largely undated notes and memoranda are also included. These contain lists of things to do; lists of names; lists of acts, shows, and songs; stage directions and suggestions for shows; telephone messages; sketches and diagrams; fragments of manuscripts; and other miscellaneous fragments of information.</p>"}
