Where's Charley?, the 1952 David Butler cross-dressing screwball comedy ("She's A He -- And He's A Howl! And Here's All The Delight Of That Ever-So-Bright Marvel Of Merriment And Melody ...From Warner Bros."; "Warner Bros marvel Of merriment And melody"; "With The Stars And Songs, And Gags And Gals Of The 2-Year-Run Play!"; "He's Here! The Rage of the Stage on the screen with a Roar!"; "This is Charley... What a wag in a wig... What a way with the women!"; "where's Fun by the Ton?"; "where's Joy by the Screenful"; "where's Merriment and Melody to make you Marvel?"; "It's Here") starring Ray Bolger ("Ray Bolger in Warner Bros.' Entertainment Delight of Delights!"; "Ray Bolger Bowls 'em Over in Where's Charley?"; in the title role as Charley Wykeham), Allyn Ann McLerie (billed as "Allyn McLerie"), Robert Shackleton, Horace Cooper, and Margaretta Scott. Note that the play "Charley's Aunt" was written in 1890, and was incredibly popular on stage for many years, and was adapted into many movie versions. This was a movie adaptation of the Broadway play, which was first produced in 1948 and ran for 792 performances, and when this movie version was made, Ray Bolger and the other top stars reprised their roles from the Broadway play.

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Ray Bolger! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

This autographed item was obtained from the estate of a consignor, who recently passed away. He started collecting mostly lobby cards and stills in the late 1960s, and he hit on the idea that he could get a lot of them signed, because he knew that many of the stars were still alive, but that many of them lived in the Motion Picture Home run by the Academy, and he visited there many times, becoming friendly with a number of the stars there. He also was able to meet other older stars, and acquired most of his signatures in person, although a few were acquired through the mail. He went out of his way to obtain signed items from his favorite films and stars, which included It's a Wonderful Life and Harvey (because he became friends with Jimmy Stewart). He was also friends with Moe Howard and Larry Fine, and he obtained many signatures on items from their films, which he loved, and he also was friends with Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and most of the Munchkins, because he especially loved The Wizard of Oz! His family does not have certificates of authenticity for any of his items, but they do have multiple pictures of him with the stars who signed for him, and we are 100% certain that the items we are auctioning from his collection were personally signed by the stars!

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.
