Souvenir typescript excerpt from The Lady from Harlem (In memory of Florence Mills), on an off-white 8.5 x 11 sheet, signed at the conclusion in black felt tip. Excerpt reads, in part: “The fetish woman crossed the stage, her limbs convulsed with yellow magic. Art is the gratuitous shiver that makes the shimmy tragic. Obeah, Obeah, wailed the saxophones…Thorned on a tomb of brass you reign between the bass and treble clefs.” In fine condition, with creasing and a tear to the top edge, and faint show-through from a couple pencil notations on the reverse. RRAuction COA.
