Orpheum circuit news. November 14, 1915.
This is a vaudeville trade periodical, the Orpheum Circuit News of November 14, 1915, put out by the Orpheum theatre organisation in New York for performers and theatre managers across the United States. Its pictures are halftone photographs of stage performers: a stage scene with three figures before draped curtains, a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man in a bow tie, and a dark-backed image of Houdini reaching for a rope with a caption announcing the Yogie Mas... act. A designer might take the strong dark-and-light contrast and the theatrical staging of the curtain scene.
