Printed advertising card for performer Mc-Bride, billed as The World's Greatest Ventriloquist and Magician, with the further slogan Distinctively Different printed in bold red type. The card features a photograph of the performer with a dummy figure and extensive printed text offering entertainment for parties, clubs, churches, banquets, and public or private affairs, with an invitation to wire or write and a choice of fifteen minutes or one hour performance options. The layout and typography of this card place it firmly within the tradition of American variety entertainment advertising cards targeting civic and social event bookings rather than theatrical venues. The combination of ventriloquism and magic within a single billing was a common strategy for performers seeking maximum booking versatility, and the bold claims of world's greatest and distinctively different reflect the competitive self-promotion culture of the American entertainment circuit. The front bears the printed text: Printed photograph with advertising text reading Mc-Bride, The World's Greatest Ventriloquist and Magician, Distinctively Different, with booking details. The reverse reads: Blank reverse with pencil notation. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil notation on reverse.
