Description: this is a scarce one, early doube sided Vaudeville poster for MORA (see below), it is taped on one side, as you can see, fragile, but oh so rare Helene Mora (1861-1903) was considered to be in the front ranks of American vaudevillians in the 1890s but died too young to have secured herself a lasting place in the public’s memory. Of English parentage, she was billed as “The Great Female Baritone” (what we today would call a contralto) and one finds countless references to her association with sentimental ballads, yet also sees her billed in some places as “The Comedy Sunbeam”. In 1890, she introduced Gussie Davis’s song “Send Back the Picture and the Old Wedding Ring” . Other songs she popularized included “Comrades”, “Soldiers”, “Au Revoir”, “Kathleen” and “Those Wedding Bells Shall Not Ring Out”. In 1897 and 1898, she startled vaudeville audiences by doing a turn as Hamlet in male drag. She was still going strong in 1902 when she topped the bill at Proctors 23rd Street Theatre with “special scenic effects”. Not long after this she took ill in her Brooklyn home (cancer) and did not recover. original and vintage, as you see it. check my feedback for any concerns. i will always combine items to save you on shipping costs. let me know and i will send a corrected invoice.
