Note that the poster is undated, and has no small writing at the bottom, but it has a maroon printer's logo in the blue background below the drum major's foot (it is difficult to read, but it is the logo for the printing company, which is "HENNEGAN & CO." and the words under it are "SHOW PRINT" and the words at the bottom of the logo are "CINCINNATI OH."). Hennegan & Co. printed most of the existing movie posters from the turn of the century, and this surely appears to be from that period, and possibly as early as 1896, when the first Edison posters appeared.
