Original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Edwin L. Marin musical comedy, SHOW BUSINESS (1944) starring Eddie Cantor, George Murphy, Joan Davis, and Nancy Kelly. This delightful musical comedy is the biography of a burlesque to vaudeville song and dance team over the first 30 years of the 20th century. Though it was not a World War II movie per se, coming at the end of the war, it displayed a warm-hearted Americana for which young American men were fighting and dying. Though no original music was composed for SHOW BUSINESS, the film included some very popular old standards like “Making Whoopee” and “It Had To Be You.” This poster is very fine plus condition.

Original MGM Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Edwin L. Marin comedy, GOLD RUSH MAISIE (1940) starring Ann Southern, Lee Bowman, Slim Summerville, and Virginia Weidler. In a role originally intended for Jean Harlow, Southern portrays the brassy Brooklyn burlesque dancer Maisie Ravier. Southern made ten films playing this character, and she also played Maisie on a popular CBS radio program from 1945—1947. Though primarily a comedy, this film has a serious side when Maisie meets a family of dust bowl farmers who have lost their farm and become migrant workers. Except for THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1940), very few scripts of the day dealt sympathetically with the plight of these families. Ann Southern remains one of the most underrated figures in Hollywood’s history. This lobby card is in very fine to near mint condition.
