Bailey announces his intention to open a theater exchange based in Atlanta to provide accessories and advertising to regional theatres. He offers to provide a bundled advertising package covering the weekly program for the Douglass Theatre, asserting that he will save the Douglass Theatre charges on separate shipments. Bailey asks Stein to write to him for further details. It is unclear whether there is any connection between Tom Bailey and Charles F. Bailey, owner of the Eighty-One Theatre, a T.O.B.A. circuit theater, located on Decatur Street in Atlanta. Charles F. Bailey was known for being hard on performers.
