This is an original 1938 color print of posters for vaudeville. The caption writes, "But variety as an entertainment form lives and thrives in theatre restaurants like Billy Rose's Casa Mañana, pictured here for Fortune by Reginald Marsh, and in night clubs and hotel supper rooms all over the country..." Vaudeville became popular from the 1880s to the 1930s. Performances included several acts including acrobats, magicians, comedians, dancers, plays, and the like.

Reginald Marsh (1898-1954) was an American painter noted for his depictions of vaudeville, burlesque dancers, the Bowery, and Coney Island. He worked often in tempera, watercolor, oil and ink. He was very popular during the 1920s and 1930s, and produced work for the New York Daily News, and Fortune Magazine. He became a teacher at the Art Students League of New York, and ran a summer camp where Roy Lichtenstein attended. His artwork can be seen at the New York Public Library, William Benton Museum of Art, and the Middendorf Gallery.

This piece was illustrated by Marsh, Reginald. Artist name printed on page - embedded in image.
