1923ref. 9283New York City 1923. Two black and white 8x10 photographs with some fading very good. The Andrieff Trio was a popular terpsichorean act in the 1920s Vaudeville scene made up of married couple Yasha and Marie Andrieff and Yasha's brother Andrew Andrieff. All three dancers were Russian and trained in both classical and popular dance styles. Their headlining act was what they called the "double face dance" where Marie danced with both men simultaneously and through clever costuming and choreography seemed to be perpetually facing the audience as her partners spun her around the stage. The group was scheduled to perform at the Bushwick Theater part of B.F. Keith's network of Vaudeville performance venues the week of September 3 1923. The picture of just Yasha and Marie is dated September 10 and inscribed to "our dear friend Mr. and Mrs. Klawans" likely referring to Bernard "Barney" Klawans the Broadway producer. unknown

1910ref. List3655New York / Chicago / London: M. Witmark & Sons 1910. Folio sheet music 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Color pictorial cover. Light wear and minor creasing to edges; very good overall. A lively Irish-themed novelty song promoted as "Emma Carus' Great Irish Song Hit" issued by the major popular music publisher M. Witmark & Sons. The cover illustration shows Carus dancing before a marching crowd carrying a banner reading "Home Rule" evoking the Irish nationalist movement then a prominent political issue both in Ireland and among Irish-American communities. Emma Carus 1879-1927 was a well-known American vaudeville performer and comic singer who appeared widely in theaters and variety shows during the early twentieth century. Born in New York she became a popular stage personality through novelty songs and character performances often introducing new numbers that were quickly issued in sheet music by publishers such as Witmark. The present piece with lyrics by Bob Harty and music by Ernest Breuer reflects the continuing popularity of Irish-themed songs in American vaudeville and popular music during the period when political themes such as Irish Home Rule frequently appeared in theatrical songs and stage sketches aimed at Irish-American audiences. We find a copy with a variant cover in commerce but not this design. M. Witmark & Sons unknown

1937ref. 221321937. African AmericanTheaterLiterature Payton Lew. Did Adam Sin Also Stories of Negro Life in Comedy Drama and Sketches. Los Angeles: Lew Payton 1937. First edition. 132 pages. Original yellow wrappers printed in red and brown featuring an abstract graphic of a seated classical figure and a prominent red question mark in the background. A scarce self-published collection of dramatic sketches. Did Adam Sin represents a significant contribution to African American theatrical literature during the Harlem Renaissance's waning years. Written by actor playwright and vaudeville veteran Lew Payton the book offers seven stage-ready works that explore the lives struggles and humor of Black Americans in the early 20th century. Titles include A Bitter Pill Two Sons of Ham and Who Is De Boss blending satire pathos and social commentary with vernacular expression and period-specific concerns. Lew Payton began performing as a child in West Virginia and came of age as an entertainer during the height of Black vaudeville. Here Payton archives both the legacy of African American popular performance and his personal experience in street parades cakewalk acts and Hollywood film roles. The introduction recounts Payton's early experiences with minstrel circuits and his Los Angeles school for Black stage actors. This context situates the collection not only as literature but as pedagogical tool and cultural preservation. The plays foreground the racial dynamics resilience and humor of Black life offering roles that resist the demeaning stereotypes endemic to Hollywood and white theater. Contemporary scholarship increasingly cites Did Adam Sin for its historical value and its intervention into the politics of representation in American drama.
