Thurston, Jane. Jane Thurston’s Flower Production Umbrella. Circa 1933. Ribs-only umbrella decorated with ribbons and fringe, used to catch the spring flowers produced by Jane Thurston during her segment of her father’s “Wonder show of the Universe,” and specially gimmicked to aid her in their production. 32 ¾” long. Well worn from use, but working and intact. With an LOA from John Daniel. Jane’s act, consisting of productions of silks and flowers, among other magic tricks, was designed in part by Herman Hanson, who worked as the stage manager in Thurston’s show during its final years.
