THE ETERNAL ROAD--a gevalt find!

Some of you know that, sadly, I lost my mother a few months ago. With my
father long gone, that's occasioned (again, sadly) a thorough
cleaning/clearing up of our family home in Queens.
And what a find I found in our basement, underneath the piano sheet music I
played as a child: an *original* program, with the front cover separated
(but still here!) and maybe the back cover gone, of THE ETERNAL ROAD, as
produced at the Manhattan Opera House--and autographed, for some odd reason
(!), by my Dad with the date of May 37 (no date)!
It's a 33-page-plus large-size program book, complete with photos, cast and
credits, and essays about some of the principals, including an extended
essay on Max Reinhardt (: "The Man and the Artist") by Louis Nizer! Plus
an unsigned, for some reason, essay on Kurt Weill's music.
Just a gevalt, all around, and sitting there these many decades. Just
thought folks here, given our extended discussion a while back of the
revived production in Brooklyn, would want to know. I wonder how
easy/difficult/impossible it is to secure a copy of this program book!
