Printed postcard featuring a photograph of a ventriloquist performer with dummy figures and a printed caption describing the act as among ventriloquism's all-time favorites, a ventriloquist and master of ceremonies, as unpredictable as the weather. The full caption text printed along the lower right edge of the image provides a colorful billing that emphasizes the performer's versatility and spontaneous comedic character. Published by Tom Grossman Co., Elizabeth, New Jersey and New York, the reverse bears a standard divided POST CARD format with correspondence and address sections. The publisher's New Jersey and New York origin and the booking-oriented billing language suggest an American East Coast performer active in the mid-twentieth century variety and club entertainment circuit. The front bears the printed text: Printed photograph with caption reading ventriloquism's all-time favorites, ventriloquist and master of ceremonies, as unpredictable as the weather. The reverse reads: Standard divided POST CARD reverse published by Tom Grossman Co., Elizabeth NJ and New York. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil catalog notation visible.
