Date Sold 8/6/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Window Card Stage Show Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Harry Cooper and the Cracker Jacks, the circa 1915 vaudeville poster ("Some Nifty Chorus"; "Some dancing dolls") advertising a vaudeville show, which was led by Harry Cooper, who portrayed Heiny Souse, an always "drunk" comedian (surely doing Foster Brooks' "lovable lush" act 60 years before Brooks did!). Also in the show was Teddy DuPont, "the possessor of the prettiest voice in burlesque". We found newspaper ads from 1914 and 1915 advertising this show, and it is quite possible that Cooper abandoned his Heiny Souse character after the start of World War I, when a fun "German" might not have been as much fun anymore. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
