Show Boat Chicago Stagebill CAST AUTOGRAPHS Music Theater Aug 1954 Mimi Benzell

Description

This playbill / stagebill was owned by a young lady named Penelope (Penny) Jane, but I don't know her last name.  I found it at an estate sale in Phoenix, AZ.
Apparently, she was a young girl at the time this musical was in Highland Park, Illinois in August 1954.  From the inscriptions found throughout this booklet, it appears that she was either part of the production or, at the very least, had close familiarity with the cast and crew.
Reading the inscriptions and seeing the signatures of so many of the cast and crew is fascinating!  The unfortunate part is that it appears to me that they were written in pencil, and then someone traced over them with ink.
One other note -- I can't find a signature for Mimi Benzell.  Hopefully, I just missed it somehow, but I don't think so.  I did have a great time comparing the signatures to the Cast list that appears on page 4.
The condition of the stagebill is awful, but the content is fantastic and the inscriptions are phenomenal!
