Greetings, all - 
 
A donor to my institution is helping an aging cousin find a home for a collection of Native American themed vaudeville material.  From the description and pictures he sent me, it certainly sounds like a fun group of items.
  
Here’s his story, as related to me:
“My Mom’s Aunt married a man who was a Sioux Indian, and in the 1920s the couple had a vaudeville show with the Indian theme. He was Chief Little Elk and she was Princess Little Elk. They were quite successful and even toured in Australia.  Over the years, my cousin has collected much of their vaudeville memorabilia; costumes, pictures, etc.”  

If anyone is interested, please get in touch with me at [log in to unmask] and I’ll be happy to share the pictures, or put you in touch.
