State of New York Executive Chamber ALFR E D E.SM ITH Governor Albany April 22, 1925 My dear Mr* Albee: Vaudeville and its artists are especially respected and beloved by the people of New York because it was in our town and in our state that this find amusement first took form and extended into a national institution* There never has been a time that the public have not been asking vaudeville artists to do something in behalf of some good cause charity, religion, relief v.'ork and everything that needed help* The artists of vaudeville have never failed individually or collectively to repsond to such opportunity for the help of others. Now that the National Vaudeville Artists are to hold their Annual Carnival Show in five of the finest and largest theatres in New York or in theworld, I wish to say that both as a citizen and as an Executive, I will be with them on the night of May third, if not in person, surely in spirit. The artists of vaudeville have helped our city, our state and our nation v/ith ceaseless services of kindness, of patriotism and of unselfish devotion to the big and fine thin^ of life. Sincerely yours. Mr. Edward E. Albee Falaee Theatre; 1564 Broadway, New York City.
