This catalog was probably released in 1926, because a trade ad from that year includes a photograph from the book and references the "Junior D.K." curtain machine.
The catalog pictures forty-three Tiffin drops or scenic pieces, as well as a photo of their factory, which looks like a theatre.
A excerpt from a book published in 1915 (contributed by reader Wendy Waszut-Barrett) describes the vaudeville practices of the day and paints a precise picture of the standard hanging plot.
