HANK KEENE & HIS RADIO GANG HANK KEENE & HIS RADIO GANG 1sh OR search current auctions Auction History Result #026 HANK KEENE AND HIS RADIO GANG 1sh '30s Date Sold 8/28/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical One-Sheet (27" x 41") (Learn More) Hank Keene and His Radio Gang, the circa 1925 stage show (presented by the National Broadcasting Co. [NBC]; "The World's Greatest Tented Theatre") featuring Hank Keene ("and His Radio Gang with Elmer") in person, and "added attraction" Sunshine Sammy Morrison (billed as "The Dancing Kid Star of OUR GANG comedies SUNSHINE SAMMY Warner Bros. Colored Boy Picture Star"). Note that this poster says "Sunday, July 19". There was one of those in 1925, 1936, and in 1942. Based on where this poster originated, and the other posters that were found with it, we believe it is likely from 1925, especially because Sunshine Sammy left the "Our Gang" movies in 1926, and we don't think it is possible that he would have been appearing in 1936 or later under that billing. Apparently, Hank Keene was one of the earliest radio comedians, and he was either billed as "Hank Keene & His Radio Gang", or as "Hank and Elmer with the Original Barn Dance Comedians" (we don't know which came first). He apparently was most popular in 1925 and 1926, and his shows were broadcast on the National Broadcasting Company's radio network (NBC), and since NBC was first created in the early 1920s, and truly became national in 1925, he was among the first radio comedians. We have been unable to find out additional information about Hank Keene, or this poster. If anyone knows more, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that when this poster was printed the yellow color was off-register and doesn't match up to the other colors. However, it is not very distracting. Most likely all copies of this poster would have this printing defect. Condition: very good. There are creases in the borders. There are brown water stains in the "NK" of "HANK" in the center of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
