The show starred a large cast starring a young Dorothy Dandridge with Leonard Reed, Mabel Scott, Edith Wilson, and others. There are many photos with brief bios of the cast, and of the dance ensembles. Put on by the Southern California Producing Company it was quite a spectacular and wonderful show. This program is a rare piece of African American theatre history. See the pics. PayPal only. No international shipping.
