Note that this was Gene Kelly's very first movie, but because he was already a Broadway dancing star, he was given a lead role in his first time out! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jacques Kapralik Important Added Info: Note that from the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks (and sometimes those books are separated and the ads are sold individually), but they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. The trade ad offered here was NOT removed from a yearbook or magazine, but was printed individually. It comes to us from the daughter of an MGM studio executive, who took home samples of these great ads (which explains why they are in such great condition, because they were never mailed to a theater). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
