The supremely successful stage version of Owen Wister's famous novel. Dramatized by Kirke La Shelle & Owen Wister"). Note that Owen Wister's novel has been adapted into several films, stage plays and a TV series. If anyone knows more about this production, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, this famous novel was adapted into many stage plays after it was first written. However, we were able to find a number of newspaper ads from 1913 that had the exact tagline that is on this poster, so that makes us feel that it is almost certainly from the 1913 production, which toured the country, and had major runs in New York and Chicago. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?
