Single sheet folded once to make four pages. Engraved headpiece and small engravings in text for ads. 14-1/4" x 10-3/4" <br/><br/>Playbill for an early American performance of "Engaged" during the successful Poole & Donnelly era at the Grand Opera House in New York City. William Schwenk Gilbert was a prolific English playwright and dramatist. This play was published during the most successful decade of his career. In 1907 Gilbert was the first dramatist to be knighted and during his fifty years as a playwright he was credited with raising the standards on the English stage for both the playwright and the actor his use of the Comic was so unique the term 'Gilbertarian' was coined for his work which has never been truly successfully imitated. "Engaged" opened in October 1877 was well received on both the English and American stages and is still performed today. It's cited as Gilbert's most popular stage work aside from the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas. This production cast the famous Agnes Booth wife of Junius Brutus Booth in the role of Belinda Treherne. J. C. Foreman unknown books

German Theatre Broadside. Schiller Friedrich 1759 1805
KABALE Und LIEBE. Ein bürgerliches Trauerspiel in fünf Abtheilungen. INTRIGUE And LOVE. A Domestic Tragedy in Five Acts
n. p. 1820. White laid paper black printing.German-language text. Light creasing to top edge; minor foxing; small loss to heading minimally affecting one letter; light center fold line. VG. Broadside printed recto only. 14-1/4" x 8-1/2" <br/><br/>Playbill for a performance on Thursday September 28 1820 at an unnamed playhouse possibly the Frankfurt City Theatre. The star-crossed lovers were played by Herr Becker and Demoiselle Lindner both of whom appear in that theatre's records for other plays. The playbill lists box office times and locations cost differences for the various areas of seating the starting time of 6 o'clock in the evening etc. Interestingly a performance of "Der Corsar" "The Corsair" an opera in two acts is advertised for the following morning which we speculate was based on Byron's wildly popular work of the same name. This opera predates both Francesco Maria Piave's libretto and Verdi's opera of the same name. "Intrigue and Love" was first performed on 13 April 1784 at the Schauspiel Frankfurt in Frankfurt to wide acclaim and continues to be performed today. (n. p.) unknown books

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 books

Aberle's Theatre October 17 1881
Programme at Aberle's Theatre for the Week Commencing Oct. 17 1881
Programme at Aberle's Theatre for the Week Commencing Oct. 17 1881. 13 3/8 in. x 4 1/8 in. Printed by Cameron & Co. New York. Aberle's Theatre stood on East 8th Street between Broadway and Fourth Avenue Astor Place in New York City and was opened on September 8 1879 in a building remodeled from St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church. Jacob Aberle whose name appears at the top of this playbill was the proprietor and manager until 1884 when the theatre reopened as The John Thompson. Known variously as Aberle's Theatre The Grand Central The John Thompson The Monte Cristo Comedy Theatre Kennedy's Comedy Theatre and from December 1890 it became a vaudeville theatre being renamed the Germania Theatre in December 1890 this theatre closed in 1902 and was torn down in 1904 to build the Wanamaker Building. The dramatic feature of this variety program was "The Idiot of the Mountains" featuring Claude Marcel as the idiot. The most famous performer on this program was the aerialist Harry Leslie who made headlines world-wide when he walked a tightrope across the Whirlpool Rapids at Niagara Falls in 1865. In this performance at Aberle's Theatre he walked from the rear of the stage up to the gallery over the heads of those in the audience. Billed here as "the only rival to the great Blondin." The other performers were Aberle's stock-in-trade minstrels. Condition good with slight chipping across the top. Cameron & Co. books

An essential record of the Theatre Project under the direction of Hallie Flanagan. Its aspiration to appear monthly was short-lived and a final third volume appeared evidently terminating in May 1938. The last three issues here indicate efforts to achieve distribution to the public through newsstands and bookshops rather than just to individuals associated with the Project. Those issues were distributed according to a note in pictorial covers rather than in the typographic wrappers evidenced here. Don Freeman contributed several frontispieces including color and there are color plates of marionettes and costume designs. The text ranges from summary reports and projections by Flanagan and others to accounts of specific productions and theatre groups in the North East as well as elsewhere.
