Featured in this lot we have a Fort Keogh Montana Territory Dramatic Entertainment theater advertisement, originating from 1888. The piece is marked across the top "Post Hall, Fort Keogh, M. T., December 15, 1888 Dramatic Entertainment". The piece details two upcoming plays: "Husband to Order- A Comedy in Two Acts" and followed by "Larkins' Love Letters- A Farce in one act". The advertisement shows the names of the characters for each play and the actors for each part. The piece is set into a custom, wooden frame with a black border around the program. The notice shows good condition for its age, with some light wear. The frame measures 11 3/4" wide by 16" tall with the paper measuring 4 1/4" wide by 8 1/2" tall.
