This is a rare November 15th, 1925 program (playbill) from the National Tour engagement of the VINCENT YOUMANS, FRANK MANDEL, OTTO HARBACH and IRVING CAESAR musical comedy hit "NO, NO, NANETTE" at the Ohio Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio. (Following an ambitious tour, the production opened September 16th, 1925 at the Globe Theatre in New York City and ran for 321 performances before mounting tours throughout the country and abroad.) ..... "NO, NO, NANETTE" not only introduced the song "Tea For Two", one of the most popular show tunes of the twentieth century, but was responsible in large part for Baseball's legendary "Curse of the Bambino". Producer Harry Frazee (1881-1929) was a successful entertainment entrepreneur who in 1917 purchased the Boston Red Sox baseball team. He sold his star pitcher, slugger BABE RUTH to the New York Yankees in 1920 for the then unheard of price of $125,000 to finance his new Broadway musical, "No, No, Nanette". This initiated the so-called "Curse of the Bambino", the third longest drought in World Series titles (1918 - 2004) which finally came to an end with Boston's 2004 championship ..... The musical starred JULIA SANDERSON, DONALD BRIAN, FRANK CRUMIT and ONA MUNSON in the title role and featured VIRGINIA O'BRIEN, EVA MAE FRANCIS, JOHN McCAULEY, IRENE COMER, GLADYS YATES, GRETA CRAWFORD, EDYTH RAY, HELENE RANDOLPH, HELEN BRAMER, AUDREY BERRY, EXA LAMONT, SYLVIA BRADER, ETHEL FLEMING, ESTELLE HOSEY, DOLORES CARLIN, KATHERINE CRAWFORD, MARGARET DE VOE, ANN STEWART, ETHEL DUFFIELD, EUNICE HOLMES, WINIFRED CORRIGAN, ETHELYN LAKE, C.
