Note that Flourney Miller was a major figure in black Broadway musical history, performing and writing with his partner Aubrey Lyles.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 27 1/2" x 42". Please do not bid on it thinking that it is 27" x 41". Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Condition: poor to fair. A small amount has been unevenly trimmed from the left and right edges of the poster. The poster is tattered and discolored (both from the kraftbacking and exposure to moisture). There are large areas of separation along the foldlines and some tears throughout (several repaired with tape from the front or back). The poster is in urgent need of expert professional restoration! The poster is mostly "all there", and after a linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will surely look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
