Auction History Result 6p0518 NATIONAL VAUDEVILLE ARTISTS YEARBOOK softcover book 1927 Houdini, Ted Healy, Burns & Allen Date Sold 11/24/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Vintage Softcover Book (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 450 pages) (Learn More) National Vaudeville Artists Yearbook, the 1927 softcover illustrated book ("The protecting hand of the N.V.A.") promoting an annual benefit which took place on May 8th, 1927, and featuring images and information on vaudeville entertainers. What makes this very large book (basically like a coffee table book, and with 450 pages!) so great, is that it is filled with ads from current vaudeville performers, "congratulating the NVA", and some of those vaudeville performers who took out ads are people who went on to MUCH greater fame later! In this volume (this was an annual event), there are ads from Bert Lahr (when he was in an act with "Mercedes"), Ted Healy (before he had found the Three Stooges, and he was in an act with his wife Betty!), Burns & Allen (when they were billed as "George N. Burns and Grace Allen"), Bill Robinson (when he was in an act with his wife before he acquired the 'Bojangles' nickname), Sophie Tucker (when she was in an act with her son), Nazimova (great Jacoby art of her), Sessue Hayakawa. We also pictured a couple of the great ads in this book, from Chevrolet and Frigidaire. And there are lots more images we did not picture. What an amazing book! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Erbit Important Added Info: Note that this giant book was for an annual event, but surely very few of these books survive! We are currently auctioning this book and also the one from 1925, and we have never auctioned either before! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note: We have 11 images of the books in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 11 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 1. Condition: good to very good. There is some scuffing, staining, and wear on the covers, but otherwise, the book is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
