Rachel Crothers' "WHEN LADIES MEET" Walter Abel 1932 Boston Tryout Playbill

Description

This is a rare four page program (playbill) from the Pre-Broadway* engagement of the new RACHEL CROTHERS comedy "WHEN LADIES MEET" at the Shubert Plymouth Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. (The production would open October 6th, 1932 at the Royale Theatre in New York City and run for 173 performances.) ..... The ensemble cast included FRIEDA INESCORT, WALTER ABEL, SPRING BYINGTON, ROBERT LOWES, HERBERT RAWLINGSON, AUGUSTE ARAMINI and SELENA ROYLE ..... CREDITS: Book by RACHEL CROTHERS; Sets designed by EUGENE FITSCH and LIVINGSTON PLATT; Directed by RACHEL CROTHERS; Produced by JOHN GOLDEN in association with THE AMERICAN THEATRE SOCIETY ..... *Note: I'm assuming that this production was prior to Broadway, as the only printed date in the program notes that "The first production of this play was made by Raymond Moore, at his Playhouse, Dennis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, August 8th, 1932." There is no reference to the dates of the Boston engagement ..... DETAILS: The four page program measures 5 1/2" X 8" inches and includes full production credits, cast list and synopsis of scenes, but no cast photos or bios ..... CONDITION: With the exception of several tiny edge tears, this program is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard .....
