Real Photo Pitch Card for Sicilian Marionette Show Famiglia Greco Italian Circa 1920s Stamped on Back

The Marionette show was once a time honored tradition, people would gather around to watch the comic, tragic and social commentary of the Puppet Masters. The characters were sometimes well know like Punch and Judy but other were historical figures and fantasy characters. The tradition goes back hundreds and thousands of years. Luckily early photography captured some of these forgotten keepers of tradition. 
"The Sicilian Puppet Theatre (Opra) is a characteristic theatre performance where the puppets, animated by “puppeteers”, represent the exploits of the greatest medieval heroes who fought for Christendom against the Saracens."

Here is one that was a pitch card of sorts, pitch cards were used to promote and a way to make extra money for the artist. This one has a rubber stamp on the back with " Sicilian Marionettes Show Famiglia Greco Piazza S. Cosimo Palermo Every Day At Half Past Five"
The show is run by Famiglia Greco
