Rare promo ad CAROL BRICE, CONTRALTO New York 1952 black female opera vocalist

Description

Scarce vintage entertainment advertising: CAROL BRICE, CONTRALTO - Recital at Town Hall, New York, March 12, 1952; issued by Columbia Artists Management. This flyer or handbill or advertising mailer measures 5x8.5 inches, and has some reviews and info on one side, and her photo and mailing info on the other. Brice made her recital debut in 1943, that year becoming the first African-American to win the Walter Naumburg Award. Her concerts often featured the piano accompaniment of her brother, Jonathan Brice. She appeared on Broadway many times in the 1960's and 70's. Very scarce promotional material - I can't find anything like it online; probably only sent to those in the entertainment business. We have several other items from the same collection also listed this week.
Condition: VG (it has a horizontal crease, tape stain, corner bumping).
