1920s Knickerbocker Theatre playbill cover Magnet

A few years ago, I found at a flea market a huge collection of Broadway playbills, dating from the late 1910s through the early 1930s. This image came from one of them. A nifty print for all kinds of EVERYTHING, including magnets! BTW, some neat little history: The theatre was built at 1398 Broadway in 1893, and was originally called the Abbey Theatre, named for producer and theatre manager Henry Abbey, who managed the booking house until his death in 1896. Then, the Theatrical Syndicate group assumed control and renamed it the Knickerbocker. In 1906, it introduced Broadway's first moving electric sign, an advertisement for the current production. The building was sold after the stock market crash, and demolished in 1930. Wanna see more old? Here's my blog!! www.fullservicebohemian.blogspot.com
