FOY EDDIE / 19TH CENTURY AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATRE Smith Harry B. book and lyrics W. H. Batchelor music. Dangerfield Fred Scen
Sinbador The Maid of Balsora
Chicago.: American Extravaganza Company. 1891. Theatre program and assorted ephemera from the musical extravaganza "Sinbad or the Maid of Balsora" produced by David Henderson's American Extravaganza Company in 1891 at the Chicago Opera House with Eddie Foy in the featured role of Fresco. Scenery and "Mechanical Effects" were handled by Fred Dangerfield who had designed Gilbert and Sullivan productions at the Savoy Theatre in London. The book and lyrics were by Harry B. Smith. The Sinbad ephemera includes a program from the Baldwin Theatre in San Francisco October 12 1891 that celebrates with the show on tour the 150th presentation of the musical very good condition. Also two 11 x 7 inch cards with lithographic images in color from the production perhaps front and back sheets of a binder; damp stains to front and rear and short repaired tear to rear. Finally and most delightfully nine color lithographs depicting seventeen primary characters from the production including an image of Eddie Foy in the role of Fresco; all in very good condition. The musical extravaganza opened in June 1891 in Chicago and went on tour that summer returning to Chicago in the fall where it continued its successful run. Many of the featured male characters were "breeches roles" performed by women; a cast of over 200 actors and dancers was involved. The plot was slim but offered ample opportunity for spectacular scenic effects. Sinbad's beloved Ninetta is kidnapped by the villainous smuggler Snarleyow; Sinbad pursues the villain assisted by the fairy Cupid. The Baldwin program lists scenes as they unfold: "The Deck of the Roc" a ship with "a storm at sea. The vessel sinks"; we move to "A Tropical Isle" and the rescue of Ninetta"; we next find ourselves "In the Jungle" and at last enter "The Valley of Diamonds" featuring "A Grand Ballet A Winter's Carnival"--i.e. dancing Icicles and Snowflakes etc.; then we're off to "The Palace of Sinbad and Grand Wedding Cavalcade." A "Transformation" scene wraps up the piece. An unusual and colorful collection of 19th century Chicago musical theatre ephemera. . American Extravaganza Company. paperback

VINTAGE THEATRE PROGRAM Giris Cesar cover illus.
Waterloo Bridge.
New York.: The New York Magazine Program. 1930. Soft cover 28 page theatre program; 7.75 x 5.25 inches for Robert Sherwood's "Waterloo Bridge." The play's two stars are Glenn Hunter and June Walker. The ubiquitous George Spelvin also appears in the cast list. Light notation in pencil on bottom margin of front cover. Attractive cover art by César Giris. Despite the stock market crash the program features extensive period advertising including ads for decidedly up-market firms such as Rolls Royce and Steinway. An interesting back-cover color ad for Lucky Strike cigarettes announces: "An Ancient Prejudice Has Been Removed"; it appears that "Toasting did it.a process that removes from tobacco harmful corrosive ACRIDS." Time would tell a different story regarding the term "toast" in connection with using this product. Program in very good condition. . The New York Magazine Program. paperback
