The Lambs is America's first professional theatrical club, established in New York in 1874. Named after a similar club in London, the name honors Charles Lamb, who during the early 1800s hosted actors, artists and literati at their salon in London. The Lambs are still in existence today, having played a major role in the formation of the Screen Actor's Guild, ASCAP and other organizations. Past members have included Spencer Tracy, George M. Cohan, Irving Berlin, Fred Astaire, W.C. Fields and many others. During the early part of the last century, The Lambs would host dinner parties with entertainment known as gambols, usually to raise money for charities like the Actor's Fund. Back cover is by Dr. Seuss. 9 1/4-in. x 12 1/4-in., 44 pages, B&W.
