Soldiers of Fortune

souvenir program featuring star, Robert Edeson / 1902

Soldiers of Fortune opened March 17, 1902 and ran through May 31, 1902 for 88 performances at the Original Savoy Theatre.
A revival (also at the Savoy Theatre) ran for another 41 performances from Aug. 30, 1902 to Oct. 1902.

(Configuration of the program is difficult to show because the scanner cuts it off,
but the right side is cut out around the outline of Mr. Edeson's profile on the cover.
I've cropped some of the pages to eliminate the uneven borders when blank.)
