The Trial of Mary Dugan Juror "Summons"

Philadelphia: Keith's Theatre, 1928. 1 light green sheet (12 x 21 cm.); printed in black on both sides. Juror summons as advertising for the play The Trial of Mary Dugan, which opened at Keith's Theatre in Philadelphia on Oct. 22, 1928. The play, by American playwright and screenwriter Bayard Veiller, first opened on Broadway in 1927. A movie starring Norma Shearer came out in 1929. Mary Dugan is a showgirl charged with murdering her millionaire lover and defended by her lawyer brother. The audience is addressed as if it is the jury, so this fake summons to Mr. & Mrs. Thrill Seeker, is clever. In Very Good- Condition: browning at 2 edges; closed 2-cm. tear from one edge; otherwise clean and solid. Very Good -. Item #009290
