Item description from seller

12mo, self printed pictorial wrappers, 8pp. With four line drawn illustrations, depicting scenes from this benefit operetta*, evidently performed in various New England locations, circa 1878-79. WorldCat cites examples of a broadside, and of a different booklet, published in conjunction with this theatrical event, but not the present item. A Very Good copy. *It's also a matter of minor historical interest that the net beneficiary - the M.S.P.C.A. - had existed for barely a few years in 1879 and probably was in much need of financial support.
