Blackstone, Harry (Henry Boughton). Blackstone?s Feather Flower and Pot Production. Circa 1945. A collapsible, spring-loaded read feather flower bouquet in banded metal, wood, and fabric pot, which was produced as part of Blackstone?s opening Enchanted Garden routine, in which the bare stage was filled with colorful feather flowers. Expanded height 20?. Considerably worn, but in working condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance. The flowers in this prop were likely made by Horace Marshall, but the letter tracing its history reveals that the prop itself was made by Blackstone?s stage manager, Bud Doremus, along with Pete Bouton and George Johnstone.
