Additional Details

An exceptional poster for the world renowned troupe. The show included a Burlesque section and some circus-like acts, including the "Celebrated Giant from New York," a man 9 feet tall, and a demonstration of "Hair-Brushing by Machine, and a Easy Shave," which must have been a strange skit indeed.
