They were drawn by Al Herschfeld.

Noday...
Al Hirschfeld was THE Broadway charactrist (hope I spelled that right!) for MANY years. (His sketches of a new show always appeared in the Sunday New York Times the week the show opened.)
His original sketches are PRICELESS items that are most likely sold on Ebay for $$$$.
I would imagine a good theater store might have some less expensive reproductions (if not, try to mail order Footlight Records in NYC.)
BTW, how are things up in McKinney tonight?

I might look for some reproductions if I get the chance... check out this site: https://www.alhirschfeld.com/index2.html
His work is brilliant it's so sad that he passed away 
Thanks for your help everyone
'BTW, how are things up in McKinney tonight?'
It's really rainy.. otherwise same old. My life is sort of blah at the moment, though I did just recently see Jesus Christ Superstar and plan on going to Lubbock (? not sure if I remembered/spelled that city correctly) to see the Aida tour.
Thank God it's Friday.
