Smith, Maggie. (1934-1924) & Haymer, Johnny. & Hayes, Billie.& Haynes, Tiger. & Sani, Amru. & Connell, Jane. & Jones, T. C. . "Leonard Sillman's New Faces of 1956" - Signed Program, including the 22-year-old Maggie Smith!.
Signed On Stage program for Leonard Sillman's New Faces of 1956: A New Musical Revue, at the Shubert Theatre, Boston, dated the week of June 4, 1956 and signed most notably by a 22 year-old Maggie Smith, as well as by Jane Connell, Tiger Haynes, Johnny Haymer, T.C. Jones, and Amru Sani. 16 pp. In fine condition. 6.5 x 9 inches (16.5 x 22.9 cm.).
The late British actress known for her wit in both comedic and dramatic roles, had an extensive career on stage and screen over seven decades and was one of Britain's most recognisable and prolific actresses. She received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, four Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and a Tony Award, as well as nominations for six Olivier Awards. Smith is one of the few performers to earn the Triple Crown of Acting. Smith began her stage career as a student, performing at the Oxford Playhouse in 1952, and made her professional debut on Broadway in this show, the New Faces of '56.
Producer Leonard Sillman's (1908-1982) claim to fame was a concept that he developed at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1933 and brought to Broadway in 1934 as New Faces. The idea was just that; round up some young (and eager to work for bare-minimum-or-less) actors and give them something to do. Sillman's New Faces of 1956 had some especially bright New Faces, including the very young Maggie Smith, Jane Connell, Virginia Martin, John Reardon, and Inga Swenson - quite a group - and also included Tiger Haynes and Billie Hayes, as well as Bombay-native Amru Sani who had some dreary material including a song about life back in the Sultan's harem.
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
