Original Sheet Music (9×12) for the song “White Christmas” sung in the Mark Sandrich musical comedy, HOLIDAY INN (1942) starring Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Marjorie Reynolds, and Virginia Dale. Astaire plays the elegant and charming show business professional who’s ambitious for success. Crosby plays the talented, but lazy partner who just wants a life of ease and comfort. Both guys become very interested in Marjorie Reynolds. The song “White Christmas” sung by Crosby won composer Irving Berlin the Oscar for Best Original Song. The song became the best selling single of all time until it was surpassed by Elton John’s “Goodbye, England’s Rose” in 1997. Although it does have the original owner’s name written in pen on the cover, this original sheet music is in very fine condition.

Original Paramount Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Mark Sandrich war drama, SO PROUDLY WE HAIL (1943) starring Claudette Colbert, Paulette Goddard, Vernoica Lake, and George Reeves.

Although made during the war, this is not a war propaganda film by any means. It is one of the first films to put women in the spotlight as true war heroes. The script was written using the journals and diaries of actual nurses serving in the Pacific theater. This original scene lobby card is in very good plus condition.
