Programs for the following plays: "Dem rebns zundele" by William Siegel," with music by Herman Wohl; "Alts far kinder" by Sheyne Rokhl Simkoff; and "Der meshugener" and "Der gazlen" by H. Kalmanovitch. One program for "Der gazlen" also highlights the participation of Fanny Lubritsky, Diana (Dinah) Goldberg, and Dave Lubritsky. Also includes a clipping stored in Oversize Box 92. 8 items.

This subseries comprises approximately 1,000 oversize posters stored in map drawers. In Jonas Turkow's arrangement and cataloging of the items in the collection, oversize posters were fully integrated with the playbills found in Subseries 3; the item numbers they received fall within the same sequence as those of the playbills. Both types of items were categorized under the Yiddish heading "afishn" (posters, playbills; related to the French: affiche). The arrangement of the posters, therefore, mirrors that of the playbills in Subseries 3, with correponding folder titles and numbers (the folders containing posters are distinguished with the addition of a suffix "P" to the folder number).
