- Letter from Tom Bailey of Bailey Vaudeville Circuit to Ben Stein, owner and manager of the Douglass Theatre, dated November 10, 1927, responding to a booking request for November 21, 1927. Bailey requests confirmation from Stein on the booking of the Bob Sherwood Florida Strutters. 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. See Milton Starr's reaction to Bailey's efforts dbr069 and another solicitation from Bailey dbr099.
