Very Good English Original theater program signed 'Marcel Marceau' to a person named Julien. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In English. [30] p., fully advertisements. Marceau's program: "Week of Sunday, May 4, 1958. Matinee Saturday, May 10. Ronald A. Wilford Associates presents Marcel Marceau and hiss partners Gilles Segal and Pierre Verry. The program will consist of pantomimes selected from the following repertoire[.]". Notes on the last pages. Marceau was a French actor and mime artist most famous for his stage persona as "Bip the Clown". He referred to mime as the "art of silence" and he performed professionally worldwide for over 60 years. As a youth, he lived in hiding and worked with the French Resistance during most of World War II, giving his first major performance to 3,000 troops after the liberation of Paris in August 1944. Following the war, he studied dramatic art and mime in Paris.
