The phrase "the pacemakers at popular prices" runs across this 1900 color lithograph, billing the Ferris Comedians as the company that set the pace for low-cost entertainment. Popular-priced theater, with tickets cheap enough for working-class audiences, was a major part of American stage life at the turn of the century, and touring comedy companies carried it to towns far from the big city houses. The poster was printed by Russell-Morgan, a firm working in Cincinnati and New York that produced many bold, colorful posters for theatrical troupes of the period.
