Auction History Result 3x0255 SON OF PALEFACE signed LC #6 1952 by BOTH Bob Hope AND Jane Russell, she's dry shaving him! Date Sold 2/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Lobby Card #6 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Son of Paleface, the 1952 Frank Tashlin cowboy western crime screwball comedy sequel ("Written by Robert L. Welch and Joseph Quillan"; about an eastern dude who goes west to claim his father's gold, but the gold is missing, and there is a beautiful head of a gang of thieves who robbed it, and there is a righteous sheriff played by Roy Rogers) starring Bob Hope, Jane Russell, Roy Rogers, Trigger (Roy Rogers' horse), Bill Williams, and Lloyd Corrigan. Note that this was sort of a sequel to 1948's "The Paleface". That movie, starring Bob Hope and Jane Russell, but not Roy Rogers, had been written by Frank Tashlin, and he was unhappy with the result. So he wrote this movie, which stars the "son" of the star of the first movie (again played by Hope), but this time, Tashlin was able to direct it himself, and one presumes he was much happier with the result!

This autograph was obtained from the estate of a new consignor to eMoviePoster.com, 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! 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. 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. Condition: good to very good. Bob Hope's signature is slightly faded (it looks like the marker he used to sign was running out of ink). There is a collector's stamp on the back of the upper left corner that slightly bleeds through to the front, but it only affects the blank white area. Other than the above, the card is in excellent condition and will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
