content: Sheet music for the song "Stormy Weather" from the production of the 22nd Edition of the Cotton Club Parade, consisting of one folio sheet (a) forming the covers and the interior pages 3 and 4 printed on a single loose page insert (b). The cover is red and features silhouettes of performers on the right side. The silhouettes are in profile, with two men and one woman. The men wear top hats and the woman, seen in white, smokes a cigarette. Below the faces, in pink letters against a black background is the illustrator's signature "Leff." Along the top, in a white band across the cover, is the title in black text "STORMY WEATHER." Down the left side, two-thirds down the cover, is the production information and cast list "Cotton Club/ presents/ ETHEL WATERS/ GEORGE DEWEY WASHINGTION/ in/ COTTON CLUB/ PARADE/ 22nd EDITION/ with/ DUKE ELLINGTON/ AND HIS FAMOUS ORCHESTRA." Below the production information, in the lower left corner are two columns of text. The column on the left is a song list "STORMY WEATHER/ HAPPY AS THE DAY IS LONG/ RAISIN' THE RENT/ GET YOURSELF A NEW BROOM/ AND SWEEP THE BLUES AWAY/ CALICO DAYS/ MUGGIN' LIGHTLY." The column on the right is additional production information "lyrics and music by/ TED KOEHLER/ HAROLD ARLEN/ STAGED BY/ DAN HEALY/ DANCES BY/ ELDA WEB - LEONARD HARPER." Below the columns is a small rectangle with the music production company listing and an illustration of a windmill "MILLS MUSICA/ INC/ Music Publishers/ 1619 Broadway - New York, N.Y."
