Very good. The menu has soft creases and minor nicks and wear along the edges, but is overall, well-preserved.. Approximately 10" x 12.25" menu from the former Tic Toc Club in Boston, which was located at 245 Tremont Street, opposite the Metropolitan Theatre (now known as the Wang Theatre), in the heart of the theater district. The menu is SIGNED BY FATS WALLER and one other person (Irene Marconi?), likely a local musician. Fats Waller was a celebrated jazz pianist, composer, singer, and comedic entertainer, and most active during the 1920s and 1930s until his untimely death in 1943.
