TEXAS COMEDY 4 - Texas Minstrel Group - one sheet circa 1900-1909
Very Good
Approx. 9.5" x 12" 2-color lightweight paper flyer advertising an appearance by THE TEXAS COMEDY 4 (from Waco, TX) in "A Little Minstrel of Their Own." The group consists of 4 men whose last names are Stubblefield (First Tenor), Richardson (Second Tenor), Sparks (Baritone), and Lowrey (Basso). The flyer has a blank space between two photos of the group, for, I assume, the venue to place their own info. There is a date the venue can fill in, simply "190_" with the last digit left blank, thus placing the date of this ad somewhere between 1900 and 1909. The flyer boasts: 20 Minutes in Full Stage Quartette - Singers of Harmony - Clean "New" Comedy - "A Return-Date Act" - Ballads by Silver-Voiced Tenor Soloists - Coon songs by Funny End Men - Wardrobe the Very Best - An Entire Performance in One Act. The picture at the top of the page features the group in costome and blackface. The picture at the bottom of the page has the band out of costume with this text on the hay bale the group is sitting on: "We are out on 'bale' to swell box office receipts in Vaudeville." Ad is in very good condition, with only a few very tiny chips to edges and two closed tears (.5" and .75") to the top of the page. Page is folded twice - folds not across photos. This is a great period document.
