HI DE HO (1947) Set of 3 lobby cards

$1,500.00

Three vintage original 11 x 14” (28 x 36 cm.) lobby cards, USA.  Cab Calloway, Ida James, Dusty Fletcher, dir: Josh Binney; All-American. Each has a few creases, tiny pinholes and small tears around the edges that mostly only affect the blank borders, and each has a few pieces of tape on front and back of some edges (not put there for any restoration purpose). The cards are otherwise in generally nice condition. VERY GOOD-.

This film is a theatrical feature with Calloway, playing himself, his orchestra, and a slew of other African American entertainers. These three cards focus on the other cast members (though there is a distant image of Calloway from the back, as he leads his orchestra). Any advertising paper from this film is very seldom seen.
