The NVA-National Vaudeville Actors (US) was a benevolent society similar to those representing actors in motion pictures and television. The society assisted disabled vaudeville actors financially and also operated its own retirement home where those in need could be cared for.
The society held an annual performance to benefit the needy vaudeville actors beginning in 1916. Souvenir programs were issued for the event. This annual is from the 1926 performance.
Renewal searches were done in books and periodicals for National Vaudeville Artists for the years 1953 and 1954. There were no listings for the title. There's no evidence of renewal for the annual.
