These pages from a 1921 program show exactly what one would expect- pictures of the stars, phone numbers for the ticket office, and praise for the performance. The Selwyn’s Park Square Theatre’s program for this performance of
W. Somerset Maugham, however, seems to be a bit out of the ordinary. With it’s focus on the actual performance, this program stands out amongst the others in our collection, which you may be surprised to see are much more focused on advertising and alcohol than about anything on the stage.
