Date Sold 1/17/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Two-Sided Die-Cut Movie Mobile (measures 13 1/2" x 21") (Learn More) Check and Double Check, the 1930 Melville W. Brown (billed as "Mel Brown") Amos & Andy slapstick family relationship black African American-played-by-white-actors-in-blackface haunted house horror comedy ("Amos 'n' Andy on the screen! All Talking"; "Here they are! On the screen!"; "Their first all-talking motion picture"; the first and only movie adapted from the hit radio show, with the white voice actors playing their parts in blackface; while at a Mystic Knights of the Sea convention, Andy unluckily is chosen to spend the night in a haunted house) starring Freeman F. Gosden (as Amos), Charles J. Correll (as Andy), Irene Rich, Sue Carol, Ralf Harolde, Russ Powell (as Kingfish), and Roscoe Ates. Note that this was the only movie ever adapted from this extremely popular radio series, and RKO created a wonderful one-sheet for it. In 1951 to 1953, there was a very popular TV show, which starred black African American actors in the lead roles. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this two-sided mobile is incredibly rare (we have never auctioned it before). It is two-sided, but not like most mobiles, which would have a hole in the top that would allow it to be displayed on a string (usually in a doorway), and they would usually have the same image on the front and back. But this great mobile shows Amos 'n' Andy "from the front" on one side, and "from the back" on the other! Condition: very good. There are creases and a tear in the top left (in the hat and extending into the head of the man). It looks like someone used a small bit of glue to repair the tear. Otherwise, the mobile is in generally nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
