Townsend Walsh (1872-1941), American theater press agent, business manager, drama critic, playwright and actor, was a collector of theatrical and circus memorabilia. Consists of two pencil portraits of Townsend Walsh; one portrait in watercolor and ink of Walsh in the role of Darby O'Hara in his play, The Boys of Kilkenny (1897); one handwritten poem "To the Players;" one small menu card showing a painted face and the words "Advocate" and "Townsend Walsh;" and three pieces of ephemera: some leaves, a menu and a card for Sir Frederick Pollock all pasted on one piece of cardboard, perhaps a souvenir from a dinner.
