Herriman Saturday

Sunday, February 9 1908 -- Herriman has a full page as his playground for this Sunday magazine article about Albert H. Woods, theatrical producer. The text is a bit too small to read on this image, so I'll give you the capsule version:

His modus operandi was to come up with a catchy title and an eye-catching poster, then have a writer pen the play to fit. Woods had a stable of favorite playwrights, including Theodore Kremer, Owen Davis and Hal Reid. Woods earned the sobriquet 'King of Melodramania'.
