Auction History Result 4y1317 WONDER BAR 8x10.25 still 1934 from controversial Going to Heaven on a Mule blackface song! Date Sold 8/29/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Wonder Bar, the 1934 Lloyd Bacon all-star romantic musical ("Warner Bros' Wonder Show of the Century"; "Numbers created and directed by Busby Berkeley"; this movie included many of Warner Brothers' top stars at the time) starring Al Jolson, Kay Francis, Dolores Del Rio, Ricardo Cortez, Dick Powell, Guy Kibbee, Hal Le Roy, Hugh Herbert, Ruth Donnelly, and Fifi D'Orsay. Note that this movie is very controversial because of Al Jolson appearing in blackface, but even more so because of the giant production number "Going to Heaven on a Mule", where around a hundred white actors appear in angel costumes in blackface, and worn out plantation worker Al Jolson (in blackface) enters Heaven with his mule, and both are given their wings. This movie is rarely shown for all of the above reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. There is a 2" tear with paper loss in the upper right border that was repaired with tape from the back. There are tiny areas of paper loss in the top blank border and a tiny brown stain in the lower left of the image. Learn More about condition grades
