Blackstone, Harry (Henry Boughton). Harry Blackstone’s 1926-27 Season Scrapbook. Collecting hundreds of newspaper clippings, including complete pages and feature stories regarding Blackstone and his show for the 1926-27 season. Stories discuss his charity work for orphans, describe the capacity crowds he entertained, outline the illusions in his show, and picture Blackstone in a variety of poses with assistants, children, and on stage. Complementing the newspaper clippings are printed challenges to Blackstone for a packing box escape, as well as programs for his show. Kept by Blackstone or a member of his company. Binding broken but intact, contents loose and laid down, but generally in good condition. Should be seen.
