Auction History Result 1x045 MY LITTLE CHICKADEE trade ad '40 wacky Karr art of W.C. Fields & Mae West! Date Sold 6/17/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Trade-Ad (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) My Little Chickadee, the classic 1940 Edward Cline cowboy western romantic love triangle screwball comedy ("Together for the first time!"; written by W.C. Fields & Mae West) starring Mae West, W.C. Fields, Joseph Calleia, Dick Foran, Donald Meek, Anne Nagel, Fuzzy Knight, Margaret Hamilton, Ruth Donnelly, and Jackie Searl (as the Boy). Note that this was the only movie that these two legends appeared in together, and naturally, it was a battle of wills between them, with each wanting a bigger part (which was intensified because they wrote the script together!). This movie has some of the most legendary comic scenes ever, including Fields in a poker game, "romancing" Mae West, etc. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Karr Important Added Info: Note that from the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from a yearbook or magazine. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: good. There is light rippling and staining across the bottom third of the ad from exposure to moisture. Learn More about condition grades
