This is a rare vintage three-panel fold-out promotional brochure or program for the play "Glorious Betsy," starring the celebrated stage actress Mary Mannering. The production was presented by Sam S. and Lee Shubert in arrangement with James K. Hackett and written by Rida Johnson Young. The front of the brochure features three distinct panels with high-quality photographic portraits of Mannering in her elaborate period costumes.
The reverse side of the brochure provides a comprehensive synopsis titled "The Story of Glorious Betsy," detailing the plot across three panels. This side also includes several smaller character photos of Mannering, adding to its collectible value for fans of early 20th-century theater history.
Condition-wise, the item shows typical signs of age, including a warm yellowing of the paper and minor wear along the fold lines. There is a small pencil notation in the upper left corner of the back side. Overall, it remains in very good condition for a paper ephemeral item of this era, with all text and images clear and legible.
