Auction History Result #021 HANK & ELMER 1sh '30s apple dance! Date Sold 11/13/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet (27" 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 one of a newly discovered group of posters of sexploitation and burlesque films of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s! Posters from these films are far more rare than those from regular films, because they only played in a very limited number of theaters. Few were made and very few survive, especially those from before 1950! Condition: very good. There is minor scuffing in the top and bottom horizontal foldlines. There are smudges, minor creases, and small tears in the blank borders. Learn More about condition grades
