Biography: EDITH PIAF, also known as "The Little Sparrow", was a French singer who became an icon of France during World War II. Piaf was born in Paris on December 19th, 1915, and rose to international stardom in the 1940's as a symbol of French passion and tenacity. Of Piaf's many ballads, "La Vie en Rose" is remembered as her signature song. Edith Piaf died in France in 1963 ..... CREDITS: Produced by CRESS COURTNEY and J. T. GALE ..... DETAILS: Advertising handbills (heralds) were distributed or inserted into the playbills of other productions to help generate ticket sales for upcoming shows and events. This single page, two-sided handbill measures approx. 5 7/8" X 9 1/8" inches and includes wonderful graphics, performance dates and ticket prices on the front and excerpts from several reviews, promotional text and a ticket order form on the backside ..... CONDITION: With the exception of a handwritten revision made when the Premiere Benefit for the Mt.
