Illustrations (most in color). Signed on half-title. Visitors have long loved the two dollhouses featured in this book. The handsome Morris-Canby-Rumford dollhouse belonged to one family from the time it was built and furnished in 1820 until it was given to the Folk Art Center in 1981. It still holds many of its original Empire-style furnishings as well as later pieces copied from eighteenth-century antique furniture owned by the family. The Long Island dollhouse is an impressive, 12-foot-long, Colonial Revival-style structure believed to have been built about a century after the Morris-Canby-Rumford dollhouse. Its rooms contain many finely crafted antique neoclassic and Victorian pieces as well as more modern furnishings and accessories given to the house by generous donors. Several toy rooms rarely seen by visitors are also included in Dollhouses, Miniature Kitchens, and Shops. Now people who missed previous exhibits can imagine laboring over the large stove top in the tile-roof kitchen, appreciate the new style embodied by the turn-of-the-century kitchen, and admire the fashionable hats modeled by the beautifully painted mannequins in the millinery shop.

Rockefeller writes to thank Jean Dalrymple "[in] the last crucial weeks before the Convention in Miami" for agreeing to serve as a co-chairman of the Arts and Entertainment Committee for his current campaign. "As Governor of New York I am proud of the pioneering role played by New York State which set an example for all 50 states and the federal government for support of the arts."Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller [1908-1979] was an American businessman, philanthropist, public servant and politician. He was also a noted art collector as well as administrator of the Rockefeller Center. He served as Governor of New York from 1959 to 1973 and then as Vice President of the United States under Gerald Ford from 1974 to 1977.Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Cary Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jose Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member, producer, and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.

This amazing photo and ephemera archive offers an invaluable visual record of a young Flushing, NY ice skater performing at Rockefeller Center with Sonja Henie's ice shows, off-Broadway cabaret and night club venue during World War II, and post-War New York. Munster (1924-2016) was one of the thousands of young girls inspired to become professional ice skaters by Sonia Henie's ice skating movies, ice shows, glittering costumes, and production numbers. By 1941, Munster was appearing in "It Happens on Ice," which ran for 386 performances, and included such ice skating performers as Dorothy Allan, Jo Ann Dean, Paul Castle, Edwina Blades, and Mary Jane Yeo. Photos in the archive show her early practice sessions as a teenager in Flushing, Queens, NY, signed photos from Betty Atkinson, Paul Castle, and other stars who appeared in the production, along with newspaper clippings and program. Within two years she was appearing in the Iridium Room Ice Shows which were twice nightly affairs, and designed for before & after Broadway shows featuring a 20 foot square ice rink, and often elaborate sets. She would perform in the "Newfangles" Ice Show at the Terrace Room, alongside Carol Lynne, Rudy Richards, Dorothy Lewis, Bob & Peggy White; "Ice Capers" at The Bowman Room in 1944 at the Biltmore Hotel; the "Circus Haze Ice Review" at the Hotel Roosevelt; and finally the long running "Hats Off to Ice" which ran for 889 performances from 1944 through 1946 and was Henie's most popular show, also represented in this collection by the souvenir Center Theatre Orchestra Seat Stub for the first performance in June, 1944. The Iridium Room, and other New York supper club ice shows featured live music during and after the war, often featuring Freddie Miller, Cab Calloway -- represented here in the archive with a signed photo showing Cab and his band dedicated to Sharlee, The Harmonicats -- another signed photo all signed by the trio, Gus Martel, and others, thriving through 1947. After a cabaret tax was imposed by the city on the supper clubs offering live entertainment, hotels across New York eliminated the very popular ice skating shows. Of additional interest, are the many production photos showing performance practices, publicity shots while dressed in elaborate costumes, the chorus lines of male and female ice skaters, and the tremendous stage backdrops for such productions as Hats on Ice. Some of the photos show Sharlee Munster and her future husband Ray Blow in skates, in costume, along with many of their costars in these large productions. Sharlee had tremendous drive, and in addition to her passion for skating and performing, was inspired to become a pilot, and at 18 years old began flying lessons 2-3 times a week, weather permitting, often working around her show and social schedule. There are photos of her at the Bendix airfield, her standing beside a Piper J-3 Cub in which she had purchased a half-interest, and successfully completed her first solo flight at Lime Ridge Airport in Poughquag, NY August 11, 1944, with Norman Sylvia as her flight instructor. She joined the Women Fliers Club, and began studying and taking the tests for a commercial pilot's rating, intending to become a charter pilot after the War. Following the closing of most of the ice shows in New York, Sharlee and her cousin Ray Munster became ski instructors, fencing instructors, and performed in ice shows at at the famed Concord Resort Hotel in the Borscht Belt part of the Catskills. In January 1948 she marries one of her fellow skaters, Raymond Kenneth Blow (1924-1992), who had also appeared in many of Sonja Henie's productions at Rockefeller Center, as well as the Roxy Theatre, and as a couple continued living in the family apartment on Kissena Blvd. through 1950 while Ray performed. By 1952, the young couple and their son Greg had moved to an apartment in Beverly Hills, CA, with photos showing the family frolicking and fishing at the California beaches, visiting Palm Desert in 105 degree heat, the opening of Disneyland, and more.
