EARL CARROLL
Inscribed Signature from the "troubadour of the nude", dated in 1934
Inscribed Signature: "To Joyce/Earl Carroll/1934", 4x5½. Earl Carroll (1893-1948) was a Broadway producer and songwriter, Flo Ziegfeld's principal rival in the staging of musical extravaganzas. Carroll's shows were a bit racier than Ziegfeld's, earning him the sobriquet, "troubadour of the nude." He built the first Earl Carroll Theatre in 1922, replacing it with a grander one in 1931. He opened another theater in Hollywood in 1938. Carroll wrote many musical numbers for his productions. He spent six months in prison during Prohibition for furnishing a nude beauty in a bathtub filled with illegal booze at a party he gave to honor one of his investors, Harry Thaw (slayer of architect Stanford White). Carroll signed here in the final days of the roaring bull market of the 1920s, just prior to the Wall Street crash which began on Black Friday, October 24. Toned and lightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
