Description

Speak Easily (MGM, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Tricked into believing he inherited money by a colleague, Professor Post (Buster Keaton) leaves his life of academia to see the world. Along the way he meets James (Jimmy Durante), the manager of a dancing troupe and Pansy (Ruth Selwyn), one of the dancers, with whom the professor becomes infatuated. The professor, impressed with the dance troupe decides to finance them so they can perform on Broadway. Quickly the show is turned into a star-vehicle and the spoiled actress Eleanor Espere (Thelma Todd) is cast. Pansy tries to warn the professor about Eleanor and her greed for the spotlight and his money. James tries to save the show all before anyone finds out the professor, still unbeknownst to him, doesn't have any money. The lobby card features many of the stars and has minor stains in the bottom border and small edge tears in the upper border. Very Fine.
