JIMMY WAKELY
Large 14x11 signed lobby card for the 1948 western The Rangers
Ride
Inscribed lobby card signed: "My Best to Clinton/Always/Jimmy
Wakely", Color, 14x11. Lobby card for the 1948 western The Rangers
Ride. 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. Corners slightly creased. Ink notes (unknown hand) on verso. Lightly
soiled at top margin. Otherwise, fine condition.
