An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Strictly Fresh Yeggs, the 1934 George Stevens two-reel screwball crime comedy short starring Tom Kennedy, Will Stanton, Bud Jameson, Fred Kelsey, and Virginia Howell. Note that director George Stevens spent years in Hollywood directing comedy shorts (from 1930 to 1935), and he directed 30 of them in that time. In 1935, he got his big break directing Katharine Hepburn in "Alice Adams", and his career quickly took off, and he made many extremely memorable Hollywood movies, including "Gunga Din", "Swing Time", "The More the Merrier", "A Place in the Sun", and of course, "Shane" and "Giant"! Also note that star Tom Kennedy was NOT the older brother of comic actor Edgar Kennedy, as is often mistakenly noted (and we are guilty of having passed on that falsehood innocently!). Tom was a former amateur boxing champion, who turned to acting in the middle 1910s, primarily playing large oafish characters. He often acted with Edgar Kennedy (which is likely why they were mistakenly identified as brothers), and he appeared in a series of 11 Columbia two-reel comedies alongside Monty Collins in the middle 1930s, and he had a major role in the "Torchy Blaine" detective movies. He stayed active in movies all the way through the 1960s! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine.
