An Original Vintage Dixie Ice Cream Premium Still (8x10; measures approximately 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Whip Wilson was an actor from 1948 through 1955. He was 37 when he made his first real movie, after having been a Marine in World War II. It was 1948, and Monogram Pictures had been looking for a replacement for Buck Jones, who had died in 1942, and Wilson bore a resemblance to Jones, and Monogram signed him to a contract without his having any experience. They gave him a whip like Lash La Rue, so he could have a cool name and a trademark, and he was very successful over the next five years, but in 1953, he basically retired and managed an apartment complex, passing away in 1964 at the age of 53 AND Andy Clyde was a supporting actor (comic relief and sidekick) in mostly B-westerns from 1921 through the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Blonde Atom Bomb, Range Land, and The Dog Doctor Important Added Info: Note that this is a special color 8" x 10" item that was given away as a premium from the Dixie Cup company. The Dixie Cup company created a large number of such premiums, which were given away to kids who sent in Dixie Cup lids. Each premium would have a full-color image of the star on the front, and on the back was biographical information of that star, along with black & white scenes from some of their movies. Every Dixie Cup premium would have two punch holes in one border, and kids would be sent two "covers" (one front and one back) to create a "scrapbook" (the covers gave the instructions on how to make the scrapbook by binding the Dixie Cup premiums between the two covers "with color cord, shoe string, or ribbon". Note that these were first made in the mid-1930s, and they continued all the way to the early 1950s (when the two holes switched to the top of the premium). Condition: very good to fine.
