Theater broadside for the presentation of several shows from 1833. Note that: "Mr. Booth" will appear in the tragedy "Apostate", and then again will appear in "Rhyme & Reason".
This would be Junius Brutus Booth, father to John Wilkes Booth. This was the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, founded in 1808, and is the oldest operating theater in America. Julius Booth, John Wilkes' brother, would appear here in 1863.
Measures 5 1/2 by 17 1/2 inches, blank on the reverse, good condition.

Background: This original May 30, 1833, broadside playbill from Philadelphia’s Walnut Street Theatre represents a highly significant and rare artifact from the golden age of 19th-century American theater. Its primary cultural importance lies in its documentation of Junius Brutus Booth, the eccentric and legendary British-born tragic actor whose pioneering, intensely emotional performance style reshaped American Shakespearean theater and established a complex family dynasty later inherited by his sons, Edwin and John Wilkes Booth. Printed as ephemeral street advertising on rag paper during a high-profile spring engagement alongside notable contemporaries like Thomas S. Hamblin, this specific single-sheet broadside was never intended to survive. Because the vast majority of these daily theatrical bills were immediately discarded or destroyed by the elements, surviving copies from the 1830s are exceptionally scarce. This makes the document both an invaluable primary source for historians tracking the performance schedules of early American playhouses and a prized, highly sought-after antiquity for collectors of early American theatrical ephemera and Booth family history.
