About Fine
Description
Moss' Empress, Ltd.. No binding. About Fine. [London: Moss' Empress, Ltd., ca. 1950] Vintage original 10 x 15" (25 x 38 cm.) British theatre poster. Two punch holes near top of poster on either side of the word "MOSS", about fine. Show Boat Express was an all-male female impersonator/drag company revue which appeared at music halls in the UK. As a 1951-dated poster for a performance of the revue at the Tivoli Theatre has referenced, this poster is likely from about the same period. Headliners Bartlett & Ross and Ford & Sheen were well-established drag performers who had been at work in the UK since the 1930s. Ford & Sheen were a British double act of drag artists, popular in variety shows and pantomimes between the 1930s-70s. They met when Sheen joined the cast of the all-male revue Splinters, and in 1936 the pair decided to team up as female impersonators in variety shows. They quickly became successful as glamorous drag queens. According to writer Roy Busby, "their rather old-fashioned cross-talk act, perfectly timed and polished by constant repetition, [contrasted with] the brasher style of modern drag acts. In the old tradition, they [took] their bow at the finale as well-groomed males." They toured widely during the Second World War, and the years following, with shows such as Showboat Express, Forces in Skirts, and Misleading Ladies. Over the years they became best known for appearing in pantomimes as "ugly sisters", which they continued to do until the 1970s. (Wikipedia)

Description
1969. Archive of anti-Vietnam War organizing literature documenting systems of grassroots protest coordination, student mobilization, and peace coalition activism in Ohio between 1969 and 1971. The material documents how antiwar organizations, student groups, clergy, labor activists, and peace coalitions coordinated demonstrations, conferences, transportation logistics, and public outreach campaigns opposing United States military involvement in Vietnam. Produced during the peak years of mass antiwar protest, the archive reveals the operational mechanisms through which decentralized coalitions organized national moratoriums, strategy meetings, marches, and political education efforts linking opposition to the war with broader concerns regarding racial inequality, militarism, labor activism, and civil liberties. The material provides primary-source evidence for the study of antiwar movement infrastructure, protest communication networks, and coalition-building within the late 1960s and early 1970s American peace movement. Archive consists of three pieces of antiwar protest literature produced in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, including one broadside, one flyer, and one newspaper-format circular. [1] Vietnam Moratorium Committee / Ohio Peace Action Committee. "What Can You Do?" Columbus: [1969]. Mimeographed flyer promoting participation in the October 15 National Moratorium against the Vietnam War. The text encourages Americans to "devote the day to working for peace" and includes instructions for organizing demonstrations, educational events, and local participation. Directed in part toward students, the flyer urges readers not to be deterred by "dictatorial threats of low grades by a professor." Endorsers include Mayor John Lindsay, Senator Eugene McCarthy, and the United Auto Workers, illustrating the broad coalition supporting the moratorium movement. [2] Cleveland Area Peace Action Council. "Call to a National Anti-War Conference." Cleveland: [1970]. Printed circular announcing a July 4-5 strategy conference at Case Western Reserve University intended to "unify the anti-war movement." The text criticizes the Nixon administration's continuation and escalation of the war while emphasizing the disproportionate burden borne by Black communities and working-class Americans. The document is endorsed by more than twenty organizers including clergy, labor activists, GI counselors, and community organizers. [3] Cleveland Area Peace Action Coalition. "End the War, Stop the Bombing - April 22." Cleveland: [1970]. Illustrated protest flyer featuring a dramatic woodcut-style image of American bombers and advancing infantry. Produced in response to intensified U.S. bombing campaigns in Indochina, the text declares, "There is no moratorium on the daily killing of 300 Indochinese," and includes transportation details for Cleveland participants traveling to demonstrations in New York City. Together, these materials document the logistical and organizational dimensions of the antiwar movement beyond highly publicized national demonstrations, preserving evidence of the local coalition work required to sustain mass protest activity during the Vietnam War era. Particularly notable is the archive's emphasis on interconnected activism, linking opposition to the war with labor organizing, racial justice concerns, student activism, and critiques of state violence. The documents additionally illustrate the broad ideological range of antiwar coalitions during the Nixon years, encompassing students, trade unionists, religious leaders, veterans' advocates, and civil rights organizers. Minor handling wear, folds, and age toning consistent with use in activist distribution; overall very good condition. A concise but historically significant archive of grassroots antiwar organizing and protest infrastructure during the Vietnam War period.
