Description
Original early 20th-century theatrical promotional card advertising THE ASSOCIATE FOUR, a four-man novelty singing act. The card features a wonderful photographic portrait of the quartet, with all four performers dressed in suits, accompanied by decorative typography announcing their act and the words “FEATURING THE LATEST.”
The four performers are individually identified beneath the photograph, along with their respective vocal parts:
A. Dansereau — Baritone
C. Duffy — Second Tenor
J. Saunders — Bass
P. Francke — First Tenor
An interesting piece of early American theatrical and popular entertainment memorabilia, particularly appealing to collectors of vaudeville, vocal quartets, theatrical advertising, vintage photography, and entertainment history.
The card appears to date to approximately 1905–1920, although no printed date or performance location is identified. Its association with vaudeville is suggested by the novelty singing act format but is not independently confirmed.
The reverse is blank. Vintage condition with age toning, minor edge wear, and scattered discoloration. Please examine photographs for condition.
