Description:
The New York Clipper was one of the first theatrical trade newspapers in the United States. Founded in 1853, the Clipper offered weekly coverage of legitimate theatre, vaudeville, the circus, and other forms of entertainment (which, by the early-20th century, included motion pictures). In 1923, the Clipper was acquired and absorbed by one of its New York competitors: Variety. -- Eric Hoyt, 2013

CLIFF BRAGDON ILL Chicago, 111., April 19.—Cliff Bragdon, principal comedian of the "Chuckles of 1923," was talcen ill last Sunday with ton- silitis and unable to appear. Sam Rice, manager of the company, played his part and did satisfactorily. It wasn't so many years ago that Rice was principal comedian on the old Empire Circuit. He has been managing shows for Barney (3erard the past six years. BOOKED FOR BUOU Lou Redelsheimer booked the following for the Bijou, Philadelphia, this week: (jcorge Hart, Bob Oillins, Lew Brown, Tilne Oare, Babe Quinn, Jackie Addison and Brown and Gilmore. For the Folly, Baltimore, he booked Johnny (jrosby, Sam Raynor, Tom Phillips, Mabel Qark, Grace Gbodale and Goldie Mandell. HOPWOOD WRITES NEW FARCE Wagenalls and Kemper received a cable from Avery Hopwood, their pennant win- ning playwright, that he has completed a new farce that, in his opinion, excels any previous effort of his. If the script lives up to expectation it will be placed in re- hears'al upon his return from abroad next week, and thus be represented with a sum- mer attraction in town. The firm has already accepted a new play by Mary Roberts Rhinehart, entitled "The Breaking Point," which is a dramatization of her own novel of the same name.
