Slightly OT: Old Theater/Movie Programs

PostSun Jul 29, 2012 6:17 am

Anyone here collect old theater or movie programs? Though not a movie theater, I recently bought a 1917 Hippodrome (NYC) program. I'm fascinated by whatever was captured as popular entertainment at the time. Evidently an act called Joe Boganny and the Lunatic Bakers was one crazy acrobatic act. The only recognizeable name to later generations is Cathleen Nesbitt, who was Henry Higgin's mother in the original Broadway version of MY FAIR LADY.
