A night at the Lyceum Theatre

From September 1901 to around April 1902, William Gillette performed as Sherlock Holmes in... well..... Sherlock Holmes. Here's what the program looked like - attendees could pick up a copy for free. 

My copy has folds because whoever picked it up did what I would do - folded it and placed it in a jacket pocket.

The program consists of eight pages, including three pages of advertising, and one page advertising the sale of souvenir editions of Sherlock Holmes volumes.

Of the remainder, they include a synopsis of Act 1, and a cast list.
