《木人頭戲》選自《煙畫三百六十行》,是附在香煙包裡的贈品畫片,盛行於一九五〇年之前。
又稱木偶戲。大多是一個人挑著小小的戲棚和小道具,走街串巷演出。藝人用布幔圍起小舞台,將小偶人
擺出,打鑼招人觀看。然後鑽進布幃子內,雙手擎著人偶又唱又舞,供兒童婦孺觀賞。
Much like baseball cards, cigarette cards were issued by tobacco manufacturers in China during the 1920s~1950s, to promote cigarette brands. Subject matters ranged from beautiful women, Western curios, Peking opera, etc. One favorite theme was the “360 trades”, which is an expression used to mean all trades. This particular cigarette card depicts a hand puppet show staged in a street corner. Puppeteers travel with their stage and puppets from street to street ,village to village, announcing each performance by beating on a gong.
