of 16,000 objects representing archival materials from one of
the strongest periods in the Performing Arts Library

demonstrated by the variety of complementary original
resources that, studied together, can inform and further an
understanding of one artist, an entire production, or a whole
era. Included are clippings from a broad range of newspapers;
composite photographs, called "keysheets" that contain large
numbers of reduced-size promotional shots; music sheet samples
featuring popular music, show-tunes, jazz and dance music;
photographs of theater, dance, and popular performance; and
publicity posters and lobby cards, the latter produced in the
early years of the film industry and used in theater lobbies
