Description: This is a rare fold-open, advertising booklet (flyer) promoting the one-week, Pre-Broadway engagement of the VINCENT YOUMANS, FRANK MANDEL, OTTO HARBACH and IRVING CAESAR musical comedy hit "NO, NO, NANETTE" at the Davidson Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin beginning April 12th, 1925. (Following an ambitious tour which included a full year in Chicago, the production would open September 16th, 1925 at the Globe Theatre in New York City and run for 321 performances before mounting tours throughout the country and abroad.) ..... "NO, NO, NANETTE" not only introduced the song "Tea For Two", one of the most popular show tunes of the twentieth century, but was responsible in large part for Baseball's legendary "Curse of the Bambino". Producer Harry Frazee (1881-1929) was a successful entertainment entrepreneur who in 1917 purchased the Boston Red Sox baseball team. He sold his star pitcher, slugger BABE RUTH to the New York Yankees in 1920 for the then unheard of price of $125,000 to finance his new Broadway musical, "No, No, Nanette". This initiated the so-called "Curse of the Bambino", the third longest drought in World Series titles (1918 - 2004) which finally came to an end with Boston's 2004 championship ..... CREDITS: Book by FRANK MANDEL and OTTO HARBACH; Lyrics by OTTO HARBACH and IRVING CAESAR; Music by VINCENT YOUMANS; Sets designed by P. DODD ACKERMAN; Choreographed by SAMMY LEE; Produced and Directed by H. H. FRAZEE .....
