This is certainly an interesting poster. It appears to be advertising a record company but I can't quite tell. Do you know anything more about the subject?

I gather it's an advertisment for a comedian-musician Adrien Wettach (Grock) who performed in music halls.

I wonder if that's where Heinlein got the term?

To Nebris:
that's exactly what I thought. Chances are slim but who knows?
