After performing in Depression-era Czechoslovakia, Dante was informed he could not take his cash earnings out of the country. That setback had a most fortunate result for Dante fans and magic historians: His 35th Year Book. Edited and compiled by Dante’s wife and partner, Edna Herr Jansen, its 62 large-format pages are jam-packed with photos, press reviews and marketing materials designed to help win over skeptical theatre owners and booking agents.
The photo gallery shows every page of the book. Text excerpts will be listed below as they are added.
