Give Me a Sailor, ©1938, Paramount Pictures Inc. Chosen by the GIs in
World War II as their number one "pin-up girl", BETTY GRABLE (1916-1973)
appeared in a series of musicals and dramas in the 1940s and early 1950s. Fox
publicity insured her legs with Lloyds of London for one million dollars.
She was married to trumpeter-bandleader Harry James from 1943 until they
divorced in 1965. JACK WHITING (1901-1961) acted in six films in the
1930s, and later appeared in the television series The Marge and Gower
Champion Show as Marge's father (1957). He also made a number of TV guest
appearances. Interesting photograph showing cross bars at right. From a typed
note on verso: "But look what happens when Jack kisses Betty Grable! His heart
action starts leaping and thumping! The dark cross bars are the sound of his
beating heart, and when run through a projection machine is translated into
sound." Lightly creased. No show through of note on verso. Fine
condition.
