The front cover announces the 1929 edition of the Chicago Hot Shots, advertising the appearance of Kid and Skeet Brown with the Dancing Maniacs and Cuney Conner at the piano. A note at the bottom promises the "usual midnight ramble." The interior of the guide displays photographs of Kid Brown, Skeets Brown, and the six women making up the Chicago Hot Shots. The back cover features a photo of comedian Cliff Ross and promises a new "colored musical revue," a laugh every second, and novelties. Other advertised performers include the Chicago Hot Shots, Walker & Herron, Skating Mack, and the Brown Skin Blue Belle Beauty Chorus. Theatre information is provided at the bottom of the page.
