Kiralfy Productions

(The poster dates on this page come from the copyright dates on the posters, info from the Library of Congress Performing Arts Poster Collection).

This is the earliest Kiralfy poster I've found, from 1873.  Haniola was evidently the star, Imre and Bolossy hard to tell apart (but distinguishable), Katie and Emily still performing.  (The sisters left the stage in the mid-1870's when they married).

In the early 1870's, the Kiralfys went from "merely" performing to producing their own Grand Spectacles.  (There were many more than these - these are just the posters still available).  

Keep in mind the scale of all these productions and then look at the dates - they kept up a feverish pace!
