Blackstone, Harry. Two early playbills. N.p., n.d. (ca 1914). Harry Boughton, later known as Frederik the Great and ultimately as Harry Blackstone performed with an act titled McNally & Boughton. This is perhaps the only playbill extant from that brief period in Blackstone's career in which he used the correct spelling of his birth name. Very good condition. Accompanied by a playbill for Blackstone's appearance as Frederik the Great. Cleanly separated, otherwise good condition.
