A visually striking promotional sheet music cover issued in connection with the Cotton Club revue Cotton Club Parade (1938), featuring large photographic portraits of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and Cab Calloway wearing top hats against a bold orange background. The design incorporates lively vignette illustrations of musicians and dancers along the lower margin, evoking the theatrical energy of Harlem nightclub revues of the late swing era. The song was written by the prolific Tin Pan Alley team Benny Davis and J. Fred Coots, responsible for numerous popular songs of the 1920s and 1930s. The cover notes that the entire production was conceived and staged by Davis and Coots, and prominently advertises the show as "featuring Bill Robinson and Cab Calloway," two of the most celebrated African-American entertainers of the period. Robinson, already internationally famous for his stair-step tap dancing and film appearances, was one of the highest-paid Black performers of the era. Calloway, leader of the Cotton Club orchestra during the early 1930s, had become one of the most recognizable bandleaders in jazz through his performances and recordings such as "Minnie the Moocher," which popularized the "hi-de-ho" call-and-response style referenced on the cover by the song "Hi-De-Ho Romeo.". Moderate creasing with small edge wear and light surface wear; a bright, very good example. Folio sheet music, illustrated pictorial wraps. 9 x 12 inches. 6 pp. (including cover).

Cotton Club, original poster, 1936, advertises a major revue at the Harlem nightclub that served as a central venue for African American performance during the era of Jim Crow laws and Prohibition era nightlife. The poster features Bill Robinson and Cab Calloway, two of the most prominent performers associated with the club, whose productions brought together dancers, musicians, and large ensemble casts in elaborately staged revues. By 1936, the Cotton Club had become a nationally recognized site of Black musical innovation, hosting artists including Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, and Lena Horne, even as performances were historically presented to predominantly white audiences. The advertised September 24, 1936 revue, led by Robinson and Calloway, included a large cast of performers and exemplified the scale and visibility of Harlem entertainment at the height of its influence. Cotton Club. Poster advertising revue featuring Bill Robinson and Cab Calloway. New York, 1936. Single sheet measuring approximately 12.5 x 9.5 inches. Printed poster promoting a large scale production with named headline performers and ensemble cast. This poster situates the Cotton Club within the broader context of Harlem nightlife and American popular music, where African American performers achieved national prominence while operating within segregated systems of patronage and control. The prominence of Robinson and Calloway reflects the emergence of star performers whose careers extended beyond the nightclub into film, recording, and touring circuits. The scale of the advertised revue, with a large ensemble and high production value, demonstrates the commercial and cultural significance of such performances during the interwar period. Minor edge chipping and wear; overall good condition.
