comedian Jack E. Leonard (1911-1973), born Leonard Lebitsky, was a master of the art of
insult, often opening his act with: "Good evening, opponents." Leonard, known for his
trademark panama straw hat and horn-rimmed glasses, was a frequent guest on The Ed
Sullivan Show and was one of Frank Sinatra's favorite comedians (Leonard later co-starred
on the same bill with Frank Sinatra, Jr.). The "Borscht belt" comedian also appeared in the
feature films Three Sailors and a Girl (1953), The Disorderly Orderly (1964), and The Fat
Spy (1966). Lightly toned. Paper clip crease at top margin. Gently creased throughout,
especially at corners. Normal mailing folds. Otherwise, fine condition.
