Reverse Text: "Goodspeed Opera House. East Haddam, Connecticut was built in 1876 by ship builder William Goodspeed. For 30 years it offered 'occasional entertainment;' and then faded into theatrical inactivity and was later condemned. In 1959, the Goodspeed Opera House foundation was formed and a complete restoration was begun. Today Goodspeed is a historical landmark offering excellent musical theater to all. Home of Man of La Mancha."Publisher: NATCO Natural Color Cards Co., Ridgefield Park NJ; 26711-C Type: Divided Back Size: Classic Not sent. |
