Styling Notes
A lovely display piece for collectors of Mary Martin, musical theater, vintage sheet music, or 1940s performing arts ephemera. Its faded theatrical glamour would look especially charming framed or resting among old music books and records.

Additional Notes
Contents include articles on musical education, Richard Strauss, Russian nationalist composers, music in Cairo, opera, choral performance, and classical technique, along with printed musical scores. A complete archival record of the issue is held by Gardner-Webb University. Issue archive

All items are vintage and one-of-a-kind. Minor wear is part of their story.

A unique find and purr-fectly peculiar.
