Scrapbook
This large scrapbook contains photos, advertisements and articles found in the Eagle Tribune, The Sun American, The Telegram and The Weekly Journal all surrounding the various plays and musicals held at the Lawrence Opera House. The most popular plays that appear in this scrapbook are “The Student King” starring Miss Lina Abarbanell, “The Singing Girl” starring Miss Clara Turner and “A Daughter of The People” run by the Bennet-Moulton Theater Company. Both Miss Lina and Miss Clara were part of the original Boston Company Tremont Theater, and the most popular producer of the shows at the opera house was one Henry W. Savage. One other interesting event that is catalogued near the end of the scrapbook is the boxing match “Battling Nelson v. Joe Gans” that was also held in the opera house alongside the frequent musicals and plays.
