It is the original World Premiere Program to "Limelight", dated October 16th, 1952, at the Odeon Theater in Leicester Square, London. It is in excellent condition.

It also includes a Certificate of Authenticity from renowned Autograph expert Herman Darvick. This specially made COA has been created specifically for this item, and includes both Darvick's signature and special seal.
