Here the comedy team of Mathews and Bulger is billed on a poster for *At Gay Coney Island*, a stage show whose title points to the Brooklyn seaside resort famous for its amusements. theater posters like this were printed in large runs and pasted on billboards and storefronts, so they often sold the performers as much as the plot. The bicycle in this design ties the piece to the cycling craze of the 1890s and early 1900s, when bicycles became a common source of stage jokes about speed, courtship and spills. The lettering and lively figures show how theater advertising borrowed the energy of the street.
