Description

Merry Mavericks (Columbia, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The Stooges were a vaudeville act beginning around 1925 as the sidekicks to Ted Healy, an up and coming comedian. The act consisted of Moe Howard, his brother Shemp Howard, and soon thereafter, violinist and comedian Larry Fine. In 1933, after much success in film, Shemp Howard left the team due to, reportedly, Healy's abusiveness. He was replaced by his younger brother, Jerry. With that change, the Three Stooges were born and Jerry became Curly. The poster offered here is from the period after Curly's death when the two remaining Stooges were reunited with Shemp. This unrestored one sheet has pinholes in the borders, smudging and a tear in the top border, minor corner bends, and pinpoint crossfold separations, but still presents very well. A terrific sheet for the Stooge fan in all of us. Fine/Very Fine.
