I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Exactly as described, well worth the value for its incredible rarity and condition. It was safely packaged, and shipped with care and speed. As a historian at the comedy store where Ciros once stood, it’s fantastic to get to bring this home after all this time.

I have always been a fan of the Barrymore family and was quite glad to get my hands on this program. Pricing was reasonable, packaging was acceptable, and shipping did not take too long. As usual with this seller, the description of this playbill was excellent. I am quite content with this purchase.

The packaging was very careful, and I finally bought the program I wanted. It was exactly the same as described online and even newer than I thought. The speed of delivery matches the postage, and I feel the value far exceeds this pricing if the program makes special sense for you.
