Description

Letter from L. D. Joel to Ben Stein, owner and manager of the Douglass Theatre, dated July 9, 1928, responding to a business proposition from Stein. Joel explains that he cannot join in any outside theater venture because he is planning to build a theatre. He advises Stein to make the Douglass Theatre profitable rather than turning the Douglass into a theater for "white people." Joel remarks that it is a gamble to operate a theater, but that if the Douglass Theatre were purchased at a reasonable figure, then Stein and his brother Luke, owner and manager of the Palace Theatre in Valdosta, Georgia, could handle it together. He affirms that they can make a success out of the Douglass Theatre. Joel generously offers to endorse a paper to purchase the Douglass Theatre from its stockholders.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2005, as part of Georgia HomePLACE. This project is supported with federal LSTA funds administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Georgia Public Library Service, a unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
