The title of the playbook is Bugbee's Popular Plays.  The play is entitled The Coonville 'Ristocrat Club.   It states that it is a Negro Entertainment in One Act by Willis N. Bugbee.  Copyright date is 1916.  It is a paperbook.  The cover is green and has to black gentlemen on the front.  On the inside cover are ads for other minstrels.  Some offer music.  Without music-35 cents.  With music-$1.50.  On the back cover are ads for stunt books such as Rattlebrain Stunts  and Goofy Stunts. The price listed for this playbook is 35 cents.  There are notations in one-apparently names of individuals playing the parts-in pencil.  I have another copy that isn't written in.
