Shown with his guitar in this black and white publicity
photograph.
Photograph Inscribed and signed: "To Jane/From your Friend/Jimmy
Wakely", B/w, 8x10. Name typed at lower margin. Singer, songwriter and actor
Jimmy Wakely (1914-1982), Monogram's low-budget answer to Gene Autry,
made a number of Westerns for the studio, but he is best remembered for his
collaborations with singer Margaret Whiting and the Christmas song, "Silver
Bells". Wakely, who was second only to Autry in pop hits, made his
debut with his Jimmy Wakely Trio in the 1939 Roy Rogers' vehicle, Saga of
Death Valley. He made his last films for Monogram in 1949, but was later
seen on the big screen in The Marshal's Daughter (1953), Arrow in the
Dust (1954) and Money, Women and Guns (1959). Wakely, whose songs
include "Moon Over Montana", "The Weary Stranger", "My Heart Has Room for You",
"I Don't Care", "It's a Beautiful Day", "Bouquet of Roses", "Cowtown, U.S.A."
and "Rose of the Prairie", had his compositions featured in a number of feature
films from 1942-1998. Lightly creased at blank margins and corners. Minor
surface creases and striations (most not evident head on), not at facial image
or writing. Otherwise, fine condition.
