New York Clipper

Frank Queen began this weekly publication in 1853, and it ran until 1924, catering to the theatrical, amusement, sporting, outdoor entertainment and circus trade. Later know simply as “The Clipper,” it became the bible for the amusement business. Today these fragile newspapers are a rarity– although the New York Public Library and the Library of Congress in Washington have near-complete runs on microfilm. The New York Clipper was the first American paper devoted entirely to entertainment and it was one of the earliest publications in the United States to regularly cover sports, helping to popularize baseball and many other sports.
