Between the Covers

Unbound. Broadside theatrical handbill on yellow paper stock. Approximately 10.5" x 3.25". A trifle dust-soiled and lightly worn, some old light folds; else just about fine. Heywood, an Ohio-born musical comedy trouper who, per a sketch in the April 1902 issue of the magazine *The Successful American*, ended up both as a booking syndicate executive and oil man in Beaumont, Texas. The text states “Doors Fly Open at 7:00. Trouble Begins at 8:00” at the foot of the sheet, and incorporates five promotional limericks included. (“A young man who was blind, in Dundee, / Said he feared that our show was ‘N. G.’ / The girl by his side / Says he laughed till he cried. / And ever since then he can see”).
