It's a honey of a show!"; "Based upon the novel by Booth Tarkington"; about a girl from a small town who goes to New York City to become a Broadway actress, and against all odds, she becomes a star in Broadway musicals) starring Judy Garland (in the title role as Lily Mars), Van Heflin, Fay Bainter, Richard Carlson, Spring Byington, Marta Eggerth, Connie Gilchrist, Leonid Kinskey, and Bob Crosby (billed as "Bob Crosby and His Orchestra") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. What are camera original negatives? These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Obviously, camera original negatives are far more rare (and far more desirable) than studio-issued ones, but both are very high quality. Also, someone made a modern 8" x 10" positive print from the negative, and that will be included with the negative, but it is not what we pictured, because we wanted to show a positive scan created from the negative, and not the included positive print.
UPDATED 06/08/2023: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this 1942 negative shows a wardrobe test for the 1943 film Presenting Lily Mars, and not For Me & My Gal as we originally mentioned. Condition: good to very good. This has India ink numbering at the bottom, and retouching on the back that was done by the photographer. This has some dust, light scratches and other minor flaws that could easily be cleaned before printing or retouched after scanning. See our positive image for how great this looks!
