An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Babes on Broadway, the 1941 Busby Berkeley New York City Broadway theater stage acting dance romantic musical comedy ("The fastest musical show on Earth!"; "Biggest song and dance spectacle of all time!"; "Mickey's impersonation of Carmen Miranda is a riot!"; "Original story by Fred Finklehoffe") starring Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Fay Bainter, Virginia Weidler, Ray McDonald, Richard Quine, Donald Meek, and Alexander Woollcott. Note that this movie includes a scene where Rooney does a dance cross-dressed as Carmen Miranda, complete with a fruit basket on his head! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the still shows a great candid image of Mickey Rooney dressed as Carmen Miranda (they call him "Carmen Mirooney" on the still), and getting advice on how to impersonate her from none other than the real Carmen Miranda, who came from the set of "Weekend in Havana", which she was currently making for 20th Century Fox. Note that a paper snipe was glued to the back of the still, and then folded over to the front. This was done rather than gluing the snipe to the back, so that the snipe could be unfolded and the still could be displayed with the snipe unfolded, which would let moviegoers read the information on the snipe in the lobby (and of course, the snipe would be folded backwards, so it would not show). This was done with many stills of the 1930s, but often, the snipes are either partially or completely lost, because it is easier for them to be torn off. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, THE SNIPE DOES NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE FRONT OF THE STILL! Condition: very good to fine. There are a very few faint emulsion scuffs scattered around the edges of the still, but they are truthfully not at all noticeable except when the still is tilted to the light.
