I picked up this old program from a vintage collector and new friend. Her house was filled with all kinds of antique furniture, vintage hardware, old frames...a little bit of everything. It's a B.F. Keith's Palace Theatre program from December 1917. It's right on Broadway and after reading about it, it's even more fascinating. It's so cool to flip through the pages. I've always been drawn to the creative inside publications. Top department stores on 5th Avenue showing off fancy fur coats, FAO Schwarz advertising winter sporting goods, beauty products and Turkish cigarettes...

There's even articles on proper attire for men and women while attending the theatre. Wouldn't it be nice to dress to the nines for nights out these days? Ladies, get your fur coats.
