Auction History Result #016 HANK & ELMER Aust daybill '30s apple dance! Date Sold 1/22/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Aust Daybill (measures 14" x 41") (Learn More) Hank & Elmer, the circa 1937 stage show poster ("N.B.C. presents"; "World's most beautiful tented theatre") for an event featuring "Hank and Elmer" (the famous NBC radio personalities) with the original "Barn Dance Comedians" (sometimes referred to as "Radio Gang") which included "Elmer, Zeke, Mary Ann, and the Hoosier Merrymakers". Also included was "30-People-30" and "Corrine and Her Sensational Apple Dance." Note that we have discovered a reference to a performer known as "Mlle. Corinne", who, even though she passed herself off as a French woman, was actually a native Texan, and she performed an "apple dance" at the Texas state fair in 1936, where she apparently appeared nude (except for her apples!). Given that this information is so close to this poster (except for the different spelling of her name), we would think it is extremely likely that this is the same performer. Also, based on the date on this poster and other clues, we believe it is likely from around 1937 If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster came from a collection of expliotation posters from the 1920s to 1970s, including sexpliotation films, strip-tease films, and films with all-black casts. Such posters are far more rare than mainstream posters of the same years! This is because such films only played in a very limited number of theaters. Few posters were made and very few survive (especially from films from before 1970). Condition: very good to fine. There is a stain in the "H" of "HANK". Learn More about condition grades
