The card states that the entertainment is under the direction of Mr. Lewis Davenport. We do not have the programme, but it seems likely that Lewis Davenport was also on the bill. The event was a benefit concert for Samuel Membry. Around the 1902-1903 period it would appear that Davenport was trying his hand at putting on shows. Once he married Julia in 1904 and their act ‘The Davenports’ was formed, we believe that he gave up this initiative.
