(The Sixth Edition opened August 24th, 1926 at New York's Earl Carroll Theatre and ran for 303 performances before going on the road.) .....

DETAILS: The 36 page playbill measures 5 1/4" X 7 3/4" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, scenes, list of musical numbers and wonderful vintage advertising, but no cast photos or bios ..... CONDITION: With the exception of a tape reinforcement to the outside seam (doesn't appear to have actually needed to be repaired), this rare playbill is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
