Headline Acts!...The screen's big show-time cavalcade of sensations, jet-propelled for LAUGHS!"; "Stars of stage, screen, radio and night club in sensational songs, skits and specialties!... Fast-paced hour of exciting entertainment!") starring Leon Errol ("in 'He Forgot to Remember"), Jack Paar ("Master of Ceremonies"), The Sportsmen ("Novelty Quartette Numbers"), Liberace ("Sensation of the Keyboard"), Jerry Murad's Harmonicats ("and Two Terrific Tunes"), Frankie Carle ("and his Orchestra"), Red Buttons ("in his famous 'Autograph Book'"), Inesita ("sensational Spanish Dancer"), Buster West, Melissa Mason ("in a Dixieland Jamboree"), Grace Romanos ("Novelty Dance Presentation"), and Mamie Van Doren (in a bit part; billed as "Joan Olander").

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster includes an image of a small black African-American child eating a large piece of watermelon, indicative of the racial prejudices and stereotypes of the time! Fortunately, we will not see such disgracial stereotypes anymore! Condition: good to very good. There is minor separation at the crossfolds and a small amount of tattering along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster. There are two pencil marks in the area of the "F" in "FOOTLIGHT" in the title at lower left. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
