Rooney, Pat
This black and white print contains thirteen labeled, oval bust portraits of ten men and three women, which surround a larger, three-quarter length portrait of two young men. The seated man on the left depicts Harry Miner; the man standing on the right is vaudeville performer Pat Rooney. The words “Harry Miner Manager” are printed below the bust portraits. All except Miner were variety entertainers, who performed at Miner’s Bowery Theater and belonged to Pat Rooney's Combination, a traveling variety/vaudeville/burlesque troupe. At the bottom of the poster are remnants of a datebill indicating the location of the performance was the Opera House, though not enough remains to determine whether a specific location and date had been included.
