Atom Performs At New Delancey

Another original playbill from my collection: This one is for The Mighty Atom’s appearance at the New Delancey Theatre on April 13-14, 1929.

While Atom changed his name from the Great Atom to the Mighty Atom as shown at the top, he never changed it in the text describing his feats.

#6 says, “Like Samson, the Great Atom possesses twice as much strength in his hair as in his arms, body and teeth. He bends a piece of steel 2 feet long and three-eighths of an inch thick, by an inch and a quarter wide, on the strength of his hair.”
