Tom Edson's star turn in Charles E. Blaney's comedy drama *The Electrician* is advertised here with a crowd of attractions: cowgirls, a barroom auction, and a line of menace printed in the caption, where a character demands $50,000 and vows to blow the top of someone's head off. The sheet was lithographed in 1898 by the U.S. Printing Co. of Cincinnati, a city known for theatrical poster work of the period. Its mix of Western scenes and melodrama reflects how touring companies blended genres to draw audiences to opera houses and town halls across the country.
