NEW YORK CITY - BROADWAY PLAY -"The Clansman" - 1906 Production

Description: NEW YORK CITY - BROADWAY PLAY -"The Clansman" - 1906 Production: The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan is a novel published in 1905, the second work in the Ku Klux Klan trilogy by Thomas Dixon Jr. (the others are The Leopard's Spots and The Traitor). Chronicling the American Civil War and Reconstruction era from a pro-Confederate perspective, it presents the Ku Klux Klan heroically. The novel was adapted first by the author as a highly successful play entitled The Clansman (1905), and a decade later by D. W. Griffith in the 1915 movie The Birth of a Nation. The book and its stage and film adaptations were highly controversial in their time, and continue to receive criticism for their espousal of racist and Neo-Confederate sentiments. In addition to concerns that The Clansman would stir up political and racial tensions in the South, Dixon's portrayal of the Klan as chivalrous freedom fighters was ridiculed as absurd. The Clansman (Original, Play, Comedy, Drama, Broadway) opened in New York City Jan 8, 1906 and played through Feb 1906 at the Liberty Theater. This Undivided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition.
