Duncan Elspeth Eric Huntz Hall Billy Halop Leo Gorcey David Gorcey Bobby Jordan Marjorie Main dir: Sidney Kingsley; Belasco Theatre. So popular was this cautionary tale of misguided youth in New York City's East Side written and directed by Sidney Kingsley produced by Norman Bel Geddes and running for 687 performances between Oct. 1935 and Jun. 1937 that Warner Brothers had the film in production and released within two months of the show's closing. So popular were the kids who played in the show that the studio brought them back to recreate their roles becoming known as ""The Dead End Kids"" in a series of low-budget films. Marjorie Main was brought to Hollywood to recreate her role as the downtrodden mother of gangster ""Babyface"" Martin. Humphrey Bogart would play the film characterization but here is Joseph Downing in the role in a scene with Marjorie Main. The photo is by White Studio NY.

1874WRCAM48099Oakland 1874. Handbill 8 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches printed on yellow paper. Old light folds else fine. Scarce handbill advertising a night's entertainment at the Dietz Opera House the first theatre in Oakland located at the corner of Webster and 12th Streets. Shows began there around 1874 and continued until 1905 and the theatre hosted stars such as Buffalo Bill and Sarah Bernhardt. Along with McDonough & Earnshaw's Royal Marionettes and the Christy Minstrels part three of the night's entertainment is a performance called "Sports of the Fantoccini" composed of Chinese bell ringers and "Brigham Young and Family." In an 1896 SAN FRANCISCO CALL article about theatrical manager Mark Thall he claims to have been present for McDonough and Earnshaw shows at the theatre "with the first company that opened the old Dietz Opera- house" a date he places at 1870. But since shows did not begin at the Dietz until around 1874 we place the printing of this broadside at that date. unknown books
