1.25” souvenir pinback button manufactured by the Whitehead & Hoag Co. of Newark, NJ and distributed to theatregoers by the Clemmer Theatre. After scouring many newspaper articles and ads, I have been unable to conclusively determine 1. Which Clemmer Theatre gave these away (as there was one in Seattle and one in Spokane) and 2. When exactly they were given away. With that said, I think ca. 1915 is fair based on the lovely photo by Apeda (assuming it’s really by Apeda) which was most used around then. A similar button was likewise issued by the Popular Theatre.
