Kar-Mi and His Mysteries of India. Jos. Hallworth, 1916.
Scarce illustrated promotional brochure for Kar-Mi’s touring stage production, Kar-Mi and His Mysteries of India. The elaborately designed program advertises a series of sensational effects and demonstrations, including “The Mystery of Selma,” “The Creation of Gamsho,” “Amahatma,” and the performer’s widely publicized feat of being buried alive for thirty-two days. Richly illustrated throughout with period engravings and photographs, capturing the style and spectacle of early twentieth-century mystery entertainment.
Four pages. Approximately 10 × 7”. Complete. Moderate toning and wear consistent with age, including corner creases, small edge tears, and old tape reinforcement to the rear panel. Good condition overall. An evocative survivor from the golden age of touring occult and illusion shows. Scarce.
