Wakely". B/w, 8x10 overall, image 7¼x9 (one surface). Captioned at lower

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. Fine condition.
