Dante (Jack Angus). See Dante & Huge Company. 100 Laughs! Thrills! Mysteries! Ryde: F.S. Pacey & Son, Printers, ca. 1934. Three-color poster bears a devil in the upper right looking over the text describing the Dante show. Over-printed for an appearance at the Princess Theatre. 15 x 40". Scattered restoration at old folds and in borders; B+. Uncommon. At first glance, the poster appears to advertise the show of Dante (Harry August Jansen). Closer examination reveals the following text in the upper banner: “We present “The Original Dante,” acclaimed by press & public everywhere as a master magician. Remember! He is in no way connected with Harry Jansen…nor with any other person or firm using the name of Dante.” An inked-in note mentions this Dante’s true name, Jack Angus. Angus assumed the stage name years after the death of the original Australian magician who used it, Oscar Eliason.
