Signature(s): "Ritz Brothers", in black ink, 6x4½. JIMMY RITZ
(1904-1985), born Jimmy Joachim, was part of a comedy trio with brothers Al and
Harry, managed by a fourth brother, George. After a brief stint as "the
Collegians," they began performing comedy routines as The Ritz Brothers. The
team was known for slapstick dance routines, tongue-twisting banter, and
wide-eyed expressions. Starting out in Broadway reviews, the Ritz Brothers made
their Hollywood debut in Hotel Anchovy, in 1934. Other movie
vehicles included Sing, Baby Sing (1936), Life Begins in College
(1937), The Three Musketeers (1939) and Never a Dull Moment
(1943). The brothers remained popular thereafter in night clubs and other
live venues. Al died in 1965, but Jimmy and Harry were in demand for guest
appearances after Mel Brooks called the Ritz Brothers his idols. Binding holes
on left margin. Corners lightly worn and creased. Lightly soiled. Otherwise,
fine condition.
