Description

From the end of the 1800s through the early 1900s, most theatre and opera house managers in the United States and Canada had to book their entertainment through Syndicates which controlled the touring schedules of most traveling shows and entertainers. One of the most prominent Syndicates was run by Marc Klaw and Abraham Lincoln Erlanger in New York City. This lot is a letter sent in 1911 from W. A. Finney, manager of the Kentucky Theatre in Paducah, Kentucky. In the letter, Finney makes a request to hold a specific date. The letter includes other notations that appear connected to the finances of the performance.

The typed letter is on Kentucky Theatre letterhead and is approximately 11″ tall by 8.5″ wide. It is hand-signed by W. A. Finney.
