[VENTRILOQUISM]. Frank Marshall. Puppets: Ventriloquial, Punch and Judy, and Marionettes. Chicago, 1931. Printed wrappers, bound in light blue library cloth. Illustrations from photographs. 8vo. 20pp. Price list laid in. Reputed to be the maker of the most famous ventriloquist figure of all time, Charlie McCarthy (Edgar Bergen is listed among the “leading professionals using our figures" in this catalog), Frank Marshall's work remains regarded as among the best in the business. The catalog describes his classic carved figures, living marionettes, walking vent figures, and other carved specialties. Very good. Scarce. Provenance: Ken Klosterman's Salon de Magie.
