Carl A. Haswin's name anchors this 1900 poster, which pairs his billing with two lines of dialogue: a wry warning against marriage and a plea to "come away, Jack." Touring companies relied on bold lithographs like this one to announce their stars in towns across the country, and this example came from the Russell-Morgan Print firm, which worked in both Cincinnati and New York. Printed in black and white, such bills were cheap to produce in quantity and were often pasted on storefronts and fences ahead of a performance. The copyright notice on the sheet reflects the registration practice of the day.
