Printed on pink silk as a souvenir rather than disposable paper, this piece reflects the early 20th-century tradition of commemorative charity programs intended to be kept.
The program lists an extensive lineup of Broadway, opera, and vaudeville performers, including excerpts from George M. Cohan’s “Get Rich Quick Wallingford,” along with appearances associated with the Shubert organization, American Music Hall, and leading Chicago theaters of the period.
