Brown was a very popular actor in slapstick comedies from the 1920s to the 1960s. He made a very long series of highly successful comedies from the late 1920s through the late 1930s, and then resurfaced in 1959 with a very memorable role in "Some Like It Hot" and he had a memorable cameo role in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". Prior to his film career, he worked in vaudeville, the circus, and even as a baseball player! He was asked to join the New York Yankees, but he declined in order to focus on his career in entertainment. Interestingly, he played a baseball player in 1933's "Elmer, the Great". Brown passed away in 1973 at the age of 80. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this item (which is a program book from the 1944 stage play version of Harvey, starring Joe E. Brown) has been personally autographed (signed) by Joe E. Brown! Also note that we have pictured the front cover and an interior 2-page spread from this program. Our consignor is a very longtime collector of movie paper who purchased this item years ago, and it was signed, but he doesn't know how the signature was obtained, and he (and we) believe it is likely that the autograph is authentic. Condition: good to very good. Someone wrote on the cover that it is autographed in the top right corner. They also wrote on the top of the autographed page that it was the 1,046th performance. There are some creases and scuffs on the covers (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
