The Backstage Story...

(Click to enlarge photos)
Backstage at the Shubert is a maze of passages and rooms. This signpost helped actors in a hurry to reach their destinations. 
 It was so exciting. Everyone wanted to preserve the long awaited moment of the performance. Bob took a photo for the scrapbook.
Others exchanged autographs.
...And more autographs.
Getting that makeup just right was very important.
Are there ever enough mirrors?
