    Description:
    Viola V. Vincent was an entertainer who billed herself as a diseuse (monologist), performing a "mosaic of song and story" in which she spoke and sang in the accent and costume of women of different nations. This packet of materials produced by her agent was used to book her appearances at women's clubs and similar community organizations. She is described as "exquisite," and "an outstanding artist" who will attract paying audiences and help organizations raise funds. Programs from previous engagements, newspaper reviews, and testimonials from clubs are provided (most from Michigan, where she lived, but also from New York and New Jersey), and a brochure illustrated with half-tone photos shows her in costume as various characters. A contemporary newspaper article describing her as "a coloratura soprano of repute" notes that "the artist in private life is Mrs. C.A. Newcomb III of Birmingham [Michigan]."

    Condition Descriptions Defined:
    We grade our books and dust jackets using the traditional language of the antiquarian book trade. In brief: Fine is the highest grade and means essentially as new, without visible faults or defects; Near Fine means approaching fine, but with one or more very minor defects or faults, which will be noted; Very Good means the book shows some general (but not too offensive) signs of wear and use, which will be noted; Good means the book is complete and intact, but has more wear or some internal markings. Any ex-library book will be graded no higher than Good, even if it is otherwise a very nice copy. Again, all flaws will be noted. We rarely offer any books in Fair or Poor condition, but if we do, the reasons for the grade will be evident from the photo(s) and description.
    Guarantee & Returns:
    All books are guaranteed as described and can be returned within 14 days for any reason. Please notify us in advance of any return.
