Beschreibung

! No author, publisher, place or date. Perhaps published by producer David Wiles. Small broadside advertisement measuring 13 ½ by 7 inches. Black printing on yellow paper. With text and illustrations, being photos of the African-American dancer "Anya" as well as three small photos of an African-American couple dancing. An advertisement for a show "A Night on Lennox Ave" produced by David Wiles and billed as the "Hottest Sepia Show This Side of New York!" The show featured comedians as well as African-American dancers including "Anya in her Savage Maiden Dance! Ode to the God of Love Passion and Death!" It appears David Wiles may have been active in North Carolina in the 1940s and 1950s. Using the euphemism "sepia", the broadside apparently sought to skirt the taboo of mentioning or using African-American performers in pieces presumably marketed for a white audience. The show was to appear at the Big Ramble on Thursday Nov. 19 (no year). VERY GOOD condition. Minor toning. Some wrinkling and creasing at the corners. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 015434
