Let's go to Broadway !!

 YES !!!

Specifically Broadway in the period from about 1912 to 1930.

Seven or eight years ago, I found at a flea market a huhYOOGE collection of Broadway playbills from that era.  

All the prints below come from that collection.

Still in business!

AND on a tapestry!

==========================================================================

A lovely Ziegfeld girl, with a coiffure that Mary Pickford wore in many of her films

 And on a tote bag!

==========================================================================

From the Academie National de Musique et de Danse's 1927 production of Faust.

The gent on the above mouse pad was listed in the playbill as M.(as in Monsieur) Huberty.

I wonder which role he played. 

======================================================================

From Yip Yip Yaphank, a 1918 revue by Irving Berlin 

 AND on a clock!

=======================================================================

The Yankee Doodle Dandy's theatre must have closed many decades ago, but I can't find out when.

On a throw pillow!

=========================================================================

This is puzzling, because it's the Winter Garden Company at Jolson's 50th Street Theatre

What were they doing there, if not at the Winter Garden???

Maybe not the Winter Garden, but on a lamp shade.

====================================================================


One of the coolest ones in the collection, this was the playbill for

1927 Broadway production of Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi

 On a jigsaw puzzle!

=====================================================================

That's it for today.
