The following represents the possible routes of the John A. Himmelein Company, "The Ideals," for each of the years covered in the collection. The names of the cities and the dates were gathered from correspondence, box office statements, receipts, and contracts. It should be kept in mind that these are not positive routes, but those deducted from available material. Cities and dates, therefore, are approximate in most cases. They also may represent only the place of purchase of certain materials or the location of John Himmelein rather than the location of the group. This is especially true of those cities which do not fit into the emerging pattern of travel. An * denotes positive proof of the group's presence in that city during at least part of the time period stated.
