Good only album lacking the rear board with very good or better photographs. A small photo album compiled by "Bud" Vieth while traveling with a vaudeville troupe in the 1920s. The images show Veith and his fellow performers posed in costumes, behind the scenes, in front of a poster for the play *White Cargo* which it seems some of them performed in, and with their cars. One group of photos shows a woman bending over in a gymnastic style pose in the desert; another shows a man holding a woman upside down. Bud is seen in a photo captioned "yours truly" and is also mentioned in a newspaper clipping stating that he would be singing on the radio station WHAS. Some of the images are signed to Bud from other performers. Towards the end of the album there are photos and a postcard from a trip to California and a performance in Niagara, New York. A modest but cute album of Vaudeville entertainers in the 1920s.
