Rare handbill featuring Ted Healy as ''The King of Stooges''
Very rare theater handbill featuring Ted Healy as ''The King of Stooges'', along with the act of ''Howard Fine and Howard'', the name used by the quartet in 1932-1933 after Healy reunited with the Stooges and Curly joined the act to replace Shemp. Poster is likely original from this time or a vintage reproduction, so scarce that only one other copy is known, that belonging to the Moe Howard Collection and featured in ''The Three Stooges Scrapbook''. Written in pencil on the margins is ''Steel Pier'' and ''9-25-32'', indicating this particular handbill may have been used to promote their performance at Atlantic City on that day. Poster measures 12.75'' x 21.5''. Some buckling and mild dampstaining at top, and with tape adhered to edges. Overall in good to very good condition.
