21815Near Fine. A striking 1924 Broadway program where theatre and advertising collide featuring bold Pierrot cover art and vividly illustrated Murad cigarette advertisements capturing the intersection of stage culture and early commercial art.<br /> <br /> Issued for a Christmas-week performance of 'Simon Called Peter' this program represents the mature phase of early 20th-century theatre ephemera-where performance promotion and graphic design converge. The cover illustration with its theatrical Pierrot figure emerging before a stylized curtain reflects lingering Art Nouveau influence transitioning toward the emerging Art Deco sensibility of the 1920s.<br /> <br /> Inside the program blends cast listings and theatre information with a notable range of contemporary advertisements. Particularly strong are the full-page illustrated ads including Murad cigarettes and Kelly-Springfield tires which elevate the piece beyond a simple program into a compact gallery of period commercial design.<br /> <br /> DETAILS:<br /> Title: The Klaw Theatre The Magazine Theatre Program<br /> Author: Klaw Theatre Corporation<br /> Date: Week beginning December 22 1924<br /> Format: Staple-bound booklet<br /> Size: 5.25 by 7.75 inches<br /> Pagination: 16 pages<br /> <br /> CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS:<br /> Program for 'Simon Called Peter' a dramatization of Robert Keable's novel<br /> Cast listings and production details for a Broadway presentation by William A. Brady<br /> Distinctive Pierrot cover illustration with strong theatrical composition<br /> Full-page illustrated advertisements including Murad cigarettes and Kelly-Springfield tires<br /> Period typography and layout reflecting 1920s transition from Art Nouveau to Art Deco<br /> Theatre seating diagrams and venue information<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The bindings are tight and secure. Text is clean; light even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with minor edge wear; remains visually strong and complete. HISTORICAL CONTEXT -<br /> By the 1920s Broadway theatre programs had evolved into hybrid cultural objects-part performance guide part advertising vehicle and part design showcase. Publications such as this reflect the commercial ecosystem surrounding live theatre where advertisers targeted an urban leisure-oriented audience.<br /> <br /> The presence of nationally recognized brands alongside local theatre content illustrates how programs functioned as early lifestyle media. At the same time the graphic quality of these advertisements-often employing leading illustrators and refined color printing-places such programs within the broader history of American commercial art.<br /> <br /> Today surviving examples are valued not only for their theatrical associations but also for their visual appeal and documentation of early 20th-century advertising and design.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Broadway theatre programs Klaw Theatre New York 1920s theatre Art Deco illustration Murad cigarette advertising American stage history vintage advertising art New York theatre culture Ephemera Theatre Americana unknown

The Greenwich Village Theatre playhouse opened on November 15 1917 on Sheridan Square at Christopher Street where W. 4th Street and 7th Avenue meet and was designed by Herman Lee Meader in a Dutch Colonial style. Actor Frank Conroy was integral in its development and ran the theatre. As early cinema became popular in 1921 The Greenwich started showing films between play engagements. The theatre caused controversy with some residents of Greenwich Village who took offense at the Bohemian lifestyles the space cultivated and promoted and many complaints were lobbied against it over incidents such as a "lewd poster" for an Audrey Munson film Heedless Moths.<br /> <br /> In May 1926 the theater management announced that it had merged with the Actors' Theatre. The name Actors' Theatre was retained and while its permanent home had not been decided upon the announcement made one thing clear: "It will not be the Greenwich Village." <br /> <br /> In January 1928 N. Brewster Morse signed a five-year lease with owner Marguerite A. Barker. Marguerite Abbott Barker b.1893 - d.1930 was a woman of wealth through her father who was president of Eastman Kodak. She was very active in the Greenwich Village theatre scene and hoped to provide a more experimental approach to the theatre experience that included "musical dramatic and motion picture features with a change of program every two weeks." In the lounge area art exhibitions were to be held "where tea coffee and cigarettes will be served during the intermissions." Among the first films screened was Paul Fejos's The Last Moment described by one critic as an "impressionistic picture." She intended to show "unusual films at popular prices" beginning on April 9 1928. <br /> <br /> Fashion was the first play produced by a woman playwright Anna Cora Mowatt in 1845 and revived by the Provincetown Players the original Players included George Cram Cook Susan Glaspell Eugene O'Neill John Reed Louise Bryant Floyd Dell Ida Rauh Edna St. Vincent Millay and Djuna Barnes who maintained residence The Provincetown Playhouse at 133 MacDougal Street. This production for The Greenwich Village Theatre ran from April to July 1924 and in the program here states Eugene O'Neill among it's directors.<br /> <br /> On February 4 1930 The New York Times announced "Demolition of the Greenwich Village Theatre on the northwest corner of Christopher and Fourth Streets.will begin early in March." The article explained that developers George and Edward Blum had filed plans for a 19-story apartment building the tallest in Greenwich Village. The demolished theater was replaced with the two-story Art Deco style Stewarts Cafeteria building that survives significantly altered at street level. unknown
