    , or "make a reasonable offer". This
    very rare and
    fragile
    early
    Ziegfeld paper flyer is a one sheet fold-over and measures approximately 9 1/2" x 6 1/4". This was the
    Ziegfeld Follies
    "Latest Musical Revue"
    , and this particular Follies appearance took place at the
    Illinois Theatre
    as part of a "limited engagement" beginning Nov. 22, 1908. On front cover, it states that this was
    "...the only Revue under Mr. Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.'s management"
    . This Follies revue was staged by
    Julian Mitchell
    ; music was by
    Maurice Levi
    ; the book was written by
    Harry B. Smith
    . As the cover also states:
    "The Most Eminent Cast Ever Offered In A Musical Organization".
    Players in this Follies production included
    George Bickel, Harry Watson, Nora Bayes, Arthur Deagon, Billy Reeves, Jack Norworth, Seymour Brown, William Powers, Dazie
    and others. The interior of program includes two photographs along the top border, depicting other Follies shows (Around The World With Uncle Sam, and The Society Prize Fight). Wonderful and whimsical artwork adorn these pages as well, with Follies characters pictured (Taxicab Girl, Diamond Dan, etc.). There is also a listing of media reviews from New York City newspapers as well.

    History
    : the
    Ziegfeld Follies
    was a series of elaborate theatrical revue productions on Broadway in New York City from 1907-1931. Inspired by the Folies Bergere of Paris, the Ziegfeld Follies were conceived by
    Florenz Ziegfeld
    , reportedly at the suggestion of his then-wife, entertainer
    Anna Held
    . The Follies were a series of lavish revues, something between later Broadway shows and the more elaborate high class Vaudeville variety show. The very first Follies was produced in 1907, making this 1908 Ziegfeld Follies program an extremely early example!
