Theatre Playbill. Mitchell Margaret Julie "Maggie" 1832 1918 Lead Actress
FANCHON! The CRICKET. Boston Theatre. May 26 1864.; The PUBLIC DEMAND. This Thursday evening May 26th '64 Miss Maggie Mitchell The Renowned and Fascinating Comedienne will repeat her Unequalled Impersonation of the Merry Little Cricket! In the great original Domestic Drama of Fanchon! The Cricket
Boston: F. A. Searle Printer 118 Washington Street 1864. Some age toning light crease here & there with the occasional spot or two. Horizontal fold-line. Still a VG example of this fragile item. One broadside sheet printed recto only. 18-1/8" x 6-1/4" <br/><br/>Margaret Julia Mitchell popularly known as Maggie Mitchell was an American actress born in New York. She made her first regular appearance as Julia in The Soldier's Daughter at the Chambers Street Theatre in 1851. The parts in which she was best liked were Jane Eyre Mignon Little Barefoot and Fanchon the Cricket. Wiki In January 1861 At at De Bar’s St. Charles Theatre in New Orleans Mitchell first appeared in Fanchon the Cricket a new secondhand adaptation by August Waldauer from George Sand’s story “La Petite Fadette.” Her characterization of the sprite of a heroine which included a graceful and entrancing shadow dance was an immediate sensation. Her Southern tour was cut short by the Civil War and Mitchell took Fanchon to Boston and New York where it was equally successful. Fanchon remained her mainstay for 30 years. Audiences never tired of it—her admirers included the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Ralph Waldo Emerson—and even in her 50s Mitchell retained the winsome elfin appeal that made her so successful. She also early obtained the rights to Fanchon which enabled her to amass a considerable estate. EB. We find one institutional holding of this playbill at the MHS. A rare survivor of this play's northern run. F. A. Searle, Printer, 118 Washington Street unknown

Chemise & slipcase - Fine. xix 1 blank 444 pp. Text in French. 4to. <br/><br/>Scarce Red-Cross volume of which OCLC records 5 institutional holdings none in the US inscribed to Dr Joseph Gardner a prominent Indiana citizen and early friend/benefactor of Clara Barton as well as patron of the recently-formed American Red Cross founded in 1881 and of which Barton was president when this volume was inscribed. Barton had a long-standing friendship with the Gardners with her one-time sectetary Enola Lee becoming the 3rd Mrs. Joseph Gardner. In 1893 Dr. Gardner donated a large plot of his land in Indiana to the American Red Cross which Barton envisioned becoming a central-states headquarters/warehouse for the organization. All was to come to naught however as the plot was never developed & ulitmately sold to settle back taxes et al. Such was to later cause Barton problems however as she was accused of financial malfeasance which ultimately contributed to her 1904 retirement from the Red Cross. Cf. Cavinder MORE AMAZING TALES OF INDIANA pp. 79 - 80. Early inscribed Barton material is somewhat uncommon in the trade. We are pleased to be able to offer this volume documenting the friendship between these two civic-oriented individuals. Au Si�ge Comit� International de la Croix-Rouge hardcover
