Tony Pastor (1837-1908) was an American variety performer, songwriter, and theater owner. Known as the "Father of Vaudeville," he became famous for his comic songs in the 1860s. As an impresario, he developed family-friendly variety shows that served as an alternative to the bawdy and male-oriented Vaudeville performances of the time.
The Tony Pastor Letter consists of a handwritten letter by Pastor. It is written on "Clark Street Theater" of Chicago letterhead and addressed to Edward Frueberger. In the letter, Pastor sends his regrets to Frueberger, informing him that he will be unable to meet him that Sunday as they had originally planned.
