The reason was: "Fair use in Musical theatre is disputed, not necessary to reader understanding per WP:NFCC#8."

The "source" is obviously Playbill magazine! From its cover, we can discern that it was published between March 15, 1956 and December 23, 1957, when Rex Harrison was appearing in My Fair Lady. So we know it's not public domain, that it is copyrighted, and that by using it we're (probably quite reasonably) claiming fair use, for which we don't need to know the current copyright holder's identity. - Nunh-huh 01:35, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Okay, so it's from "Playbill magazine", rather than the playbill of a particular theater, or such? Do you think we should we label it "magazinecover" or just "fairuse", or what?
Playbill magazine is published monthly with different covers for use at each New York theatre. My Fair Lady was at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, but that doesn't make a difference in terms of copyright. It's both a magazine cover and we're claiming fair use, so I would think if we have those labels, you can use both. (The photographer for My Fair Lady was (as she so often was for Broadway musicals) Martha Swope, so she probably held the original copyright. Fortunately we don't need to know if she assigned it to someone else or still retains it, for our purposes.) - Nunh-huh 20:20, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I've retagged it as "Fairuse". -- Infrogmation 21:26, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
