{"value"=>"<p>Material concerning Stickney and Lindsay's professional relationship consists of photographs, acting and playwriting notes, and a scrapbook. Photographs chiefly document Life with Father and Life with Mother through production stills, images of the cast and crew, candid backstage photographs, publicity shots, and portraits of Stickney and Lindsay. The photographs document several different productions throughout the shows' runs, including the 1967 revival of Life with Father, co-starring Leon Ames in place of Lindsay. Acting notecards consist of typewritten quotes, acting cues, and small narratives on playwriting and acting.</p> <p>The scrapbook, titled The Empire Theatre: 1893-1953, contains photographs of Stickney and Lindsay; reviews and programs for Life with Father and Life with Mother; photographs of the theater's interior and exterior; the theater's 60th anniversary program; a fifty year chronology of the theater; and articles regarding the theater's closing in 1953. Some loose material from the scrapbook was placed into a folder.</p> <p>The collection holds three recordings. Inquiries regarding audiovisual materials in the collection may be directed to the Billy Rose Theatre Division (theatrediv@nypl.org). Audiovisual materials will be subject to preservation evaluation and migration prior to access.</p>"}
