Minnie Palmer's name sits above a locomotive racing across the sheet, a pairing that tells you the show's selling point before you read a word of the fine print. The title, *A Mile a Minute*, is a nod to the speed of the age, when railroads had made touring companies possible and a star could be carried from one city to the next within days. Posters like this were printed in bold color lithography to catch the eye of passersby at depots, hotels and street corners. Its mix of stage celebrity and steam power makes it a good record of how the theater and the railroad promoted each other in the late nineteenth century.
