This vintage poster from the early 1900s features George M. Cohan's "Sporting Blood" at the Hollis Theater in Boston. The Theatre was torn down in 1935.

Monday February 10 only fell on a Monday in 1908/1919/1930 so the play was in years 1919  or 1930 given the ages of the player's. They were all famous as they were all listed in Wikipedia.

George M Cohan born 1878 Died 1942 World Famous!!!

Lewis B. Ely Died 1935 had several Broadway plays including Thoroughbreds. The Horse Thief. Sporting Blood I  believe was also about horse's. Maybe this play may have flopped in Boston was reworked to make his winning plays???

Walter Connolly born 1887 Died 1940. Made almost 50 Films!!

Ruth Shepley Born 1892 Died 1951 famous stage star!! Friends with Helen Hayes and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

Frank Elliot Born 1866 Died 1970 made over 70 Movie's

Mr. Sam Forrest born 1866 Died 1944 famous for Staging and Directing

Playbill was printed by H.C. Miner Co  Litho and Print New York also Famous!!

All together it's been interesting research. My Best guess it was staged in 1919??

Measures 12" by 22"

A stunning piece of theater memorabilia. It is a great addition to any collection, especially for fans of Cohan or classic theater.

The poster is an original, not a reproduction, and is in fair to Good condition. Has 11 Bullet Holes in the Poster.

Maybe the play was a Flop and never made it to Broadway??? 3 Movies were made with the same name??? 1916 1931 (starring CLARK GABLE) then 1940.

Don't seem to be any connection?

It has been preserved over the years and would make a fantastic display piece. Don't miss out on the chance to own a piece of entertainment history.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO FIND ANOTHER ONE!!

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ??? TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY!!

GOOD LUCK
