Review:
John Tobey of Afton, N.Y. was employed in the lumber industry. He regularly attended Broadway shows from 1932 until 1968 during annual visits to New York City, to attend building suppliers' conventions. He was accompanied on these trips by his wife Mary Tobey. The playbills they collected together (many accompanied by ticket stubs) serve as a record of these theatrical excursions. The collection also includes many contemporary clippings from newspapers and magazines, as well as sports memorabilia, restaurant menus, postcards and other documents associated with the entertainments that enlivened Tobey's business travels.
