Description

The Big Broadcast of 1936 (Paramount, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although this highly entertaining ensemble film featured several notable African American performers such as Bill Robinson, Dorothy Dandridge, and the Nicholas Brothers, times were such that the studio saw no controversy in including radio stars Amos 'n Andy, who are white actors playing black characters. Showcased here, in their typical black face, are Freeman Fosden and Charles Correll, who had been performing their radio routine for nearly eight years, and had an earlier film success with RKO's Check and Double Check. The card has a small British censor stamp in the lower left, a snipe over the director credit, and a "Norman Taurog" director credit stamp on this otherwise immaculate card. Very Fine+.
