Original RKO Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Walt Disney production of Jack Kinney’s and Hamilton Luske’s family animation classic, FUN AND FANCY FREE (1947) starring Edgar Bergen (and friends), Dinah Shore, and voices of Cliff Edwards and Disney himself (the voice of Mickey Mouse for many years). This combines Disney’s version of “Jack and the Beanstalk” featuring Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in the main role and “Bongo” about a circus bear who must adapt to life in the wild. This original scene lobby card of Lulabelle protecting Bongo from Lump Jaw the Bear after Bongo runs away from the circus is in near mint condition.

Original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Elliott Nugent musical comedy, UP IN ARMS (1944) starring Danny Kaye, Dinah Shore, Dana Andrews, and Constance Dowling. Samuel Goldwyn had been trying to sign Kaye to a movie contract for two years before he finally agreed. Goldwyn put him in a series of Technicolor musicals beginning with this picture. The story revolves around Kaye’s character, a hypochondriac that gets drafted and makes life miserable for his fellow soldiers. Kaye steals every scene he is in, deftly switching into and out of a pastiche of popular song styles, slang, scat, and even an African-American impersonation. The film received two Academy Award nominations for Best Musical Score and Best Original Song (“Now I Know”).
