This show was on it's "Prior to Broadway" run, but it apparently never made it to the Great White Way. This was Miss Pitts' first stage role, and she did star in two other shows that made it to Broadway, "Ramshckle Inn" which enjoyed some moderate success with a 6-month run in 1944, and "The Bat" which closed after 23 performances in 1953. The problem appeared to have been the choice of material rather than the performers. Condition of the photo is Good, with a sharp, bright image, but some fading to the ink. Condition of the program is Good, with folds and wear.

This heavily retouched 8x10 photo of the Lunts dining with Lawrence Farrell, their acting company manager, may have been taken at Schellhase's restaurant in Baltimore MD. The photo is inscribed to the Schellhases and probably dates from the preview tour of "Taming of the Shrew when the Lunts dined there every night they were in Baltimore. The photo, mounted to stiff cardboard, is in Fair to Good condition with very faded ink. The inscription and signatures are readable if you hold it to the light at the right angle.
