(The production premiered on October 23rd, 1934 at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C. and closed there the same night after determining that the third act needed to be totally rewritten. The revised play opened in New Haven on November 22nd, 1934 and after more rewrites the show moved on to Boston, Springfield, Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut, where the show closed for good on December 15th, 1934, failing to arrive in New York City.) .....

HARRIS ..... DETAILS: The single page, one-sided playbill measures 5 5/8" X 9 1/4" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, synopsis of scenes and song title, but no cast photos or bios ..... CONDITION: (Please Note!) There is heavy creasing and some paper loss at the top edge, a vertical fold and light soiling. Despite these flaws, this rare program will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
