What a great find. That is really cool. Ben Bodne bought the Algonquin in 1947, following the death of Frank Case. Since the matches advertise a TV in every room, I'd say that is late 1950s. Right? There were still a few of the Vicious Circle alive: Parker, F.P.A., Sherwood, Kaufman, Ferber, Peggy Leech, Jane Grant, Marc Connelly, Harpo Marx, Peggy Wood and Frank Sullivan.
