<dc:description>Letter from Milton Starr, president of Theatre Owners Booking Association (T.O.B.A.), a Tennessee-based booking agency from 1920 to the 1930s for African American vaudeville acts, to Ben Stein, owner and manager of the Douglass Theatre, dated November 9, 1927, addressing a rumor that Stein has affiliated with or taken bookings from another agent, Mr. Bailey in Atlanta, presumably Bailey&apos;s Vaudeville Circuit (see also dbr099 and dbr100). Starr requests a letter from Stein concerning his relations with Bailey, asserting that Stein owes him a reply based on their past relations.</dc:description>
