Description: When Florence Ziegfeld opened Jerome Kern's musical adaptation of Edna Ferber's Show Boat in December, 1927 he had a fictional broadside for the showboat Cotton Blossom’s production of The Parson’s Bride. It was enclosed inside each program for the production with husband and wife "stars" Julie LaVerne as "Lucy" and Steve Baker as "Parson Brown" who are scheduled to appear in a performance in Natchez, Mississippi that evening. A spurned admirer of Julie's on the showboat informs local law enforcement in Natchez that Julie's mother was African American while Steve is white and miscegenation is illegal in Mississippi (marriage between different races) so Captain Andy Hawks is obliged to dismiss Julie and Steve. Captain Andy replaces Julie with his own daughter Magnolia in the role of "Lucy" and replaces Steve with the wandering gambler Gaylord Ravenal as "Parson Brown." Andy's wife Parthy disapproves of Ravenal as a suitor for her daughter but there's a mutual attraction between him and Magnolia. Thus begins the story. 5 ¼” x 12”. One fold and a rough right edge. Neat old 1927 Ziegfeld show promotional item. Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items.
