Original Jack Courtney Tiny-Town Review Window Card

This is an original window card used to promote Jack Courtney’s Tiny-Town Review.

It states: Tiny-Town Review :: 12 Big Vaudeville Acts 12 :: Big Fun And Novelty Show :: Presenting America’s Most Entertaining School Show :: Special Lighting Effects :: Special Recorded Music :: Entertaining! Educational :: See How Marionettes Are Made :: 15 Puppets Take Part :: Magical Laffacade :: The Comedy Magic Show Designed For Fun.

A “window card” is a poster that is used to promote a show or an event. It is made of stiff cardboard and is often placed at retail store windows. It is also used at theaters and at events in glass cases outside of the venue.

This original 14 x 22 inch, window card was purchased at auction from the David Price Egyptian Hall Museum (EHM 3352). It is not dated, although magic historians would be able to figure out rough dates, probably. Pre-owned but in good condition for its age.
