Banks, Ted and Sally. Blackstone Company Theatrical Wardrobe Trunk. Steamer-style trunk owned and used by Ted and Sally Banks, company members on the Blackstone show, their names hand painted in silver on one side. Outfitted with cloth-covered drawers and wooden hangers. Together with a payroll form from the Blackstone show which includes the Banks’ names. 22 x 21 x 40”. Well used, metal parts rusted, else good condition. The crates for Blackstone’s illusions were painted orange so they could immediately be identified backstage. Theatrical trunks owned by company members, such as this one, were not painted to match, as they remained at the hotels where cast members stayed.
