The second of three Antiques Roadshow episodes taped in Little Rock during a six-city tour last summer will air at 7 p.m. Monday on PBS.
Monday's episode is set to feature items such as a jazz musician photograph archive, a 1983 Truman Capote Playboy manuscript and a Mississippi effigy figure circa 1000-1500 A.D., the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported.
A preview video posted online days before the second episode shows an appraiser speaking with the owner of the Capote manuscript: Little Rock native James Morgan, who worked as a nonfiction editor for Playboy from 1978-86.
"I think it may well have been the last thing he [Capote] wrote," Morgan said.
The Playboy assignment called for Capote in 1983 to write about his long friendship with playwright and author Tennessee Williams, who had died earlier that year.
Morgan called the transcript "horrible," adding that his opinion would be hard to believe by those familiar with Capote's work.
"I worked up the courage to tell him I needed a rewrite, but we had a sort of very funny conversation," Morgan said.
The Playboy article, after telephone conversations to further develop the piece, ended up running in the magazine's January 1984 issue commemorating its 30th anniversary, he added.
The last Antiques Roadshow episode from the Little Rock stop will air at 7 p.m. Feb. 8 on PBS. It will feature items such as a 1985 Charles Schulz Snoopy sketch, a 1919 William Faulkner handmade poetry book and a Chinese altar garniture circa 1850, according to the Democrat-Gazette.
