An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Stage Play Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More)

Show Boat Glorifying the American Girl, the circa 1930s musical stage play ("As presented two years at the Ziegfeld and Casino Theatres, N.Y."; "Not a moving picture"; "Ziegfeld Last and Greatest Triumph"; "In the flesh and blood"; "Music by Jerome Kern"; "Lyrics and Book by Oscar Hammerstein II"; "From Edna Ferber's novel"; "Final opportunity to witness an original Ziegfeld production"; presented by Florenz Ziegfeld). Note that Show Boat played at the Ziegfeld Theatre in 1927 to 1929, and at the Casino Theatre in 1932. This window card references both of those, and mysteriously, it has "Glorifying the American Girl" under the title, which was another major Ziegfeld hit from the 1920s. So we suspect that this was a show of musical numbers excerpted from both of those shows. Since Ziegfeld died in 1932, we imagine this was a special tribute show put together after his death with performers from the original casts (which would explain the "final opportunity to witness an original Ziegfeld production"). If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good to very good. The card was lightly partially folded vertically down the right 4", but it is almost unnoticeable from the front. There is a 3" L-shaped tear in the right of the bottom border, and a 1" tear in the right of the top border. There are nail holes in the top corners. There are some faint smudges scattered throughout the card.
