[African-Americana – Vaudeville – Minstrelsy] Black Patti's Troubadours
Two Clipped Magazine Advertisements for M. Sissieretta Jones’ “Black Patti’s Troubadoursâ€
Portland Oregon 1899. Two double-sided clippings measuring approximately 7 ½ x 4 ¾ inches both put together with tape. Slightly wrinkled and toned; excellent. Matilda Sissieretta Jones 1869–1933 was an African-American opera singer from Portsmouth Virginia. She studied at the Providence Academy of Music and the New England Conservatory in Boston. At the start of her career Jones sang solo or in small groups touring North and South America the Caribbean and Europe. Jones’ talent was renowned; she was the first Black artist to sing at Carnegie Hall and she performed for multiple US presidents and the English royal family among many other accomplishments.1 In 1896 she formed Black Patti’s Troubadours—Jones was given the nickname “Black Patti†by a critic after famed Spanish opera singer Adelina Patti. The Troubadours would perform comical vaudeville and minstrel skits without Jones followed by Jones performing her “operatic kaleidoscope†of musical excerpts.<br /> <br /> Offered here are two magazine clippings—based on the advertisements these were printed in Portland Oregon—promoting two Black Patti’s shows: “A Rag Time Frolic at Ras-Bury Park†and “Jolly ‘Coon’-ey Islandâ€. The latter was written by Ernest Hogan a musician widely credited with creating the ragtime genre; he would become the first African-American performer to produce and star in a Broadway show 1907’s The Oyster Man. Jones’ kaleidoscope pieces include excerpts from Faust Pirates of Penzance and others; both shows also feature an audience-judged cakewalk. Of interest to scholars of M. Sissieretta Jones and African-American entertainers at the turn of the century.<br /> <br /> 1 “Jones M.

A Coquelin aîné (1841-1909). Belle lettre de félicitations pour « son grand succès » qu'il n'a pu voir étant absent et malade. « mais j'ai les comptes-rendus et j'ai vu beaucoup de spectateurs, même enthousiasme, mêmes éloges sur toi, pour plusieurs cela rappelait les triomphe de Mascarille ». Il s'est procuré la pièce et a pu la lire. « M. Rostang [sic] est un homme de théâtre. Il y a deux ou trois situations originales et théâtrales, par contre d'autres scènes qu'on ne peut juger qu'à la représentation ». Il verra la pièce à son retour. Mascarille fait référence à l'un des grands succès de Coquelin quand il joué ce rôle dans L'étourdi (Molière) à la Comédie-Française en 1871. Très belle lettre. [490]

[LGBT History – Drag Performance – Vaudeville] Eltinge, Julian; Brown, Herold
Photograph of “Female Impersonator†Julian Eltinge Taken c. 1920
Unknown location 1920. Approximately 10 x 13 inches. Some tears and chips at edges very good contrast editorial overpainting on recto overall very good. Marks on verso reading “Julian Eltinge Hippodrome March 12â€. Very good. Julian Eltinge 1881/1883–1941 was an American actor and “female impersonatorâ€â€”in today’s terms a drag performer—from Newtonville Massachusetts. Eltinge’s drag career began at age ten and by the early 1900s he was touring internationally performing a vaudeville act wherein the “audience was completely deceived as to Eltinge’s sex until he removed his wigâ€1. This portrait shows Eltinge seated in costume. On the reverse is written “Julian Eltinge Hippodrome March 12†and the front is signed “Herold Brown†this signature does not appear to belong to commercial photographer Harold M. Brown. A stamp is legible that dates the photograph to the 1920s though the exact year is not legible. Eltinge has been described as “without question the most famous female impersonator of all time†ibid.<br /> <br /> 1 Slide Anthony “Julian Eltinge†in The Vaudevillians: A Dictionary of Vaudeville Performers Westport Connecticut: Arlington House 1981 46. unknown

[Marx Brothers]; [Harpo Marx]; [Groucho Marx]; [Film History]; [Vaudeville]; [Film Promotion / Advertising]
Promotional Still Photograph of the Marx Brothers Gathered around a Harp
n.p.: n.p. 1938. Photograph. Very Good. 61 cm x 48 cm. Glossy black and white photograph. The photograph depicts from left to right: Chico Harpo and Groucho Marx all gathered around a harp with cheeky expressions on their faces. The harp that is pictured is the one that was used in their 1939 film At the Circus. The Marx Brothers got their start in Vaudeville but would go on to make several motion pictures in the first days of the Silver Screen. Thirteen of their films have been rated in the AFI's top 100 comedic motion pictures: their impact on cinema cannot be overstated. The brothers were sons of German-Jewish immigrants and their mother Minnie acted as their manager until her passing in 1929. In this photograph going left to right the three oldest Marx brothers are shown Chico or Leonard Marx Adolph or Harpo and the youngest of the three Julius or Groucho Marx. A few pinholes and light wear to the corners of the photograph. n.p. unknown

Three photos show automata or robots in film and vaudeville acts and another shows two scantily dressed young women in a box. The “Equilibrists†chapter or rope walkers and aerialists opens with photos of the pioneering Jean-Francois Gravelet “Blondin†1824-1897 who made his career crossing the gorge below Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Several photos document the Los Codona aerial act which featured Lalo and Alfredo Codona with their sister Victoria and letter reproduced refers to his injuries in a fall following the death of Alfredo’s wife Lillian Leitzel. Other aerialists depicted include Luis H. Leers Olvido Perez and Walter Powell who performed high wire acts for several circuses. A sub-chapter is devoted to “Con Colleano - No other living person can repeat this trick.†Colleano 1899-1973 was an Afro-Caribbean/Bundjalung Australian tightrope walker and the first to successfully complete a forward somersault on the tightrope. Several other unidentified acts are also included by photos showing aerialists performing including series of couple on high wire juggling rings and umbrellas.

The typescript foreward introduction was written by Sir Charles Blake Cochran 1872-1951 known as C.B. Cochran noted English theatrical manager and impresario producing most of the successful revues musicals and plays of the 1920’s and 1930’s often with Noel Coward. He introduced such stars as Beatrice Lillie Gertrude Lawrence Noel Coward jessie Matthews Yvonne Printemps Effie Atherton and produced the Ballets Russes as well as managed the Royal Albert Hall. In addition he discovered the Dolly Sisters depicted here in the mock-up and at the end of his life produced the long-running successful “Bless the Bride†which starred Lizbeth Webb. Seldow was a Russian-German who trained in Berlin worked as a talented photo-journalist posted reports about Conradi-Horster and became a member of Conradi-Horster’s MAJA. In 1934/35 he emigrated to Paris and began his career as professional magician in the literary cabaret of Agnes Capri and also worked as author and actor in radio film & television later becoming a member of the Magic Circle in Berlin. He’s perhaps best for his later published books such as Les Illusionnistes et leurs secrets Magicians and their secrets -- the German edition was more inventive at Die Kunst Frauen zu zersagen -- The Art of sawing women and his oft-cited Vie et secrets de Robert-Houdin Life and secrets of Robert Houdini both well-illustrated.

This unequaled archive of photographs chronicling the successful and colourful Vaudeville and entertainment career of Earl Mossman reveals wealth of musical and theatrical history from the Pacific Northwest during first album in this archive is largely devoted to Earl Mossman’s contributions and managing of his the first half of the 20th Century as well as impact on historic events. The chorus-line all-girl revue shows at the Frontier Village during the 100 day run of the Oregon Centennial Exposition. This re-created town from the 1870’s Old West featured the Golden Nugget dance hall & saloon as well as livery stable church post office and hotel and proved to be the most successful attraction. Mossman’s Can-Can girls put on daily shows and held dances where the daringly dressed women would dance with visitors and hired actors. The 1859-1959 Centennial Exposition lasted from June 10 to Sept. 17 on 65 acres along the Columbia River formerly Vanport wiped away in the tragic 1948 flood and also featured a Gayway Amusement Park Garden of Tomorrow & Adventureland. The photos depict not only Mossman’s Can-Can girl revue but also steam locomotives Modernist sculptures and murals by Louis Bunce and other Oregon artists as well as photos of the Mid-Century Modern Lumber Industry Pavilion and the striking Hall of Religious History in the Garden of Tomorrow which featured murals of Carl Morris. Also shown are neon sculptures the filled arena showing the opening ceremonies which featured actor Raymond Burr as master of ceremonies the Nelson Picket Dancers the Golden Nugget and Frontier Trading Post from the air and more. The second album includes as well more images from the Centennial as well as many from Earl Mossman’s “Productions†talent agency and entertainment group who supplied vaudeville dance and music acts such as Beverly Short Eleanor Malcolm Gary Marvin Ginger McClane Gwen Gibson Jerry Brown Freddie Keller’s Orchestra and Maury Meriweather’s Band to Portland OR and surrounding Pacific Northwest clubs and venues. Photos included here depict as well the Nelson Pickett Dancers The Glenns “originating new tricks in a dancing mood;†The Carsony Brothers; the Earl Mossman Girls featuring models from the Gloria LaVonne modeling agency; along with Walter Blacke Jacqueline Clark Earl Mossman’s Dolls for “Delta Dome†and more. Other notable names include Billy Daniels d. 1988 with photos of his ‘The Masculine Touch†recorded live at the Mocambo on the Sunset Strip well-known African-American singer form the mid-1930’s to 1986 who launched his career in the Harlem Renaissance; along with Jeanne Gayle who sang with Bob Crosby and starred in the Great Gildersleeve 1954 Jack Nagel and even Shirley of the Hoti PocaDot Bikini Contest.The many photos also depict Mossman meeting and greeting celebrities rolling into Portland running for mayor of Portland OR he never won: touting and promoting the “Straw hat day May 15†by not only wearing straw hats himself but inducing his all-girl revues to wear as well along with leading parades including the 1972 Merrykhana Parade where he was appointed “King of the Parade.†Many of the images show him with many different canes drawn from his large collection signing contracts for the American Legion seated in limousines and Porsches and even attending dinners. One photo includes dinner guests of Miracle Oxygen which featured the editor of The Oregonian Dick Nokes Paul Hauron stage feature writer the Todds and others. Of additional interest are the photos of Mossman showing off his scrapbook filled with images from his long career as well as images while convalescing with his bevy of beauties in the Shriner’s Hospital in Portland OR. Mossman 1894-1976 was an Oregon native and grandson of Isaac Mossman who had fought in the 1855-1856 Indian Wars rode with the Washington Territory’s Pony Express out of Walla Walla and was the first Washington Territorial librarian in 1870. Earl Mossman began running away from home as a young boy to perform in taverns and saloons in downtown Portland later worked for Pacific Power & Light Co. as an office boy and in 1913 after marrying his childhood sweetheart Catherine Groos launched his career on the Vaudeville Circuit. He initially played with the Basco Comedy Co. and later with Connie & Mack’s and the Bert Levy Circuit. Walter Winchell coined him as the “Beau Brummel of Broadway†during the 1920’s and by the 1930’s was performing with Norma Lawton in Broadway productions such as “The Dancing Producer†and performed with his partner Ray Vance at the Lotus Isle Amusement Park and the Peacock Ballroom. He would marry five different times performed at civic activities Rose Festivals and beauty pageants across the Pacific Northwest.Over half the photographs in this collection were shot by Allen J. De Lay photographer with The Oregonian from 1947 until the newspaper strike of 1960 who was not only an extraordinary photographer but also musician and competitive swimmer. He is perhaps best remembered for his photographs of the darker seamier side of Portland in the post-World War II era. Other Oregon photographers represented include Maxwell Allara Paul Blixt Kirk Braun Bill Gray Hodge Kennell-Ellis Verne Lewis Alfred Monner Dick Slater Don Thompson Donald Wilson and others. Of particular interest are noted theatrical photographers such as Bruno in Hollywood and James J. Kriegsmann 1909-1994 celebrity & theatrical photographer from 1929 to the 1980’s. We could find no similar archive of Mossman related photos in any institutional holdings except for a few images.

[Vaudeville]. [Strout's Military Hussar Band]
Vernacular Photo Album and Scrapbook Documenting the Travel and Activities of Strout's Military Hussar Band a Notable Early 20th-Century Sideshow Band
Various locations 1928. Good. 28 leaves illustrated with seventy-five photographs and numerous ephemeral items. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black paper-covered boards string tied. Some chipping scuffing and soiling to boards. Contents worn and shaken with some leaves detached or trimmed some images detached. Still a lively collection. A unique vernacular photograph album and scrapbook documenting a couple of years of Strout's Military Hussar Band a notable sideshow act that toured the country in the early part of the 20th century. A newspaper clipping one of about thirty in the album describes the group: "one of the finest bands in the country is furnishing music at the fair and has already made a big hit with the visitors. In the bright red uniform of the Hussars the band makes an excellent appearance." Another clipping states that "This attraction a singing band of some 16 members is said to be one of the most pretentious organizations of its sort on tour this year." The photographs within are mostly portraits of the band members the majority of which have been shape-cut out of larger photographs. There are also group photographs of other circus performers and sideshow acts as well as some images capturing the after-effects of a train crash; the side of the train reads "D.D. Murphy Shows" a well-known promoter during this period with whom the Hussar Band apparently traveled. One of the more interesting group photographs is pasted on the inside front cover and shows seven large individuals next to a manuscript caption reading "World's Fattest Family."<br /> <br /> The ephemeral items peppered throughout the album include tickets to fairs in Beaumont Texas; Little Rock Arkansas; Fargo Minot and Devil's Lake North Dakota; Memphis Tennessee; and Sedalia Missouri. Other ephemeral items include a business card for the solo clarinet and saxophonist of Strout's Hussar Band Benne Kenner; other business and calling cards newspaper clippings and other clippings probably from magazines. unknown
