An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are considered to be one of the greatest comedy teams from the 1930s to the 1950s. They started working on stage together in 1935 and graduated to radio, television and film. Click on Lou Costello's name to learn much more about them! Some of their movies include: One Night in the Tropics, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Hold That Ghost, and Who Done It. Abbott passed away in 1974 at the age of 78, and Costello passed away in 1959 at the age of 52. Important Added Info: Note that these two great stars performed their trademark "Who's on First" routine a zillion times, so it can be difficult to know exactly when an image of them performing it is from. But in this case, we know for certain this is from 1941, because this photo was used in the September 1941 issue of Photoplay magazine, because it has stamps on the back, and it also has pencil writing that says "Abbott & Costello do their baseball yarn opening Hollywood Ball Park", so we also know where they were performing. Condition: good. As noted above, this photo was used in Photoplay magazine, and it has white paint around the upper two-thirds of the image and there is also touch up paint in the bottom left corner of Abbott's jacket, and some white paint marks below the white horizontal line, where the photo was cropped for use in the magazine. No doubt, the paint could be removed, or one could certainly leave it on (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
