Andrew Mack, the singing comedian, leads this lithograph as the star of his new play, *The Rebel*, a drama of the Irish rebellion by James B. Fagen. The poster's playful caption, "The bible says to turn your back on temptation!", hints at the mix of humor, romance, and melodrama that audiences of the period expected from Irish-themed stage shows. Strobridge Litho Co., the Cincinnati and New York firm known for theatrical posters of the era, printed the sheet for the management of Rich & Harris, whose productions toured American theaters.
