* Print of Ted Healy of The Three Stooges fame
The front page of the "Screen--Art" section of this Sunday newspaper (Section 8) features an uncommonly large illustration which features both Ted Healy and Basil Rathbone. The caption reads: "Those somewhat different actors, Ted Healy and Basil Rathbone. Mr. Healy will be head comic of 'The Gang's All Here' which will set up shop Wednesday night at the Imperial Theatre, while Mr. Rathbone will be important to 'Heat Wave', the English play arriving Tuesday at the Fulton."
The same page has some brief descriptive remarks on both plays (see photos).
Ted Healy is credited by many with founding "The Three Stooges" but would meet with a somewhat mysterious death just 6 years later. Basil Rathbone would come to greater fame playing Sherlock Holmes in the series of films based on the British detective.
You get the complete newspaper which is quite lengthy being a Sunday paper. This is the "rag edition" which was printed exclusively for libraries & other institutions and done on very high quality newsprint so they would last much longer than the more typical "pulp" paper of this period. This issue is in excllent condition and still quite white with not the slightest bit of fragility.
