Date Sold 10/21/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 4 3/4" x 6"; 1 page) (Learn More) Hank Keene and His Radio Gang, the circa 1925 stage show (presented by the National Broadcasting Co. [NBC]; "The World's Greatest Tented Theatre") featuring Hank Keene ("and His Radio Gang with Elmer") in person, and "added attraction" Sunshine Sammy Morrison (billed as "The Dancing Kid Star of OUR GANG comedies SUNSHINE SAMMY Warner Bros. Colored Boy Picture Star"). Note that this poster says "Sunday, July 19". There was one of those in 1925, 1936, and in 1942. Based on where this poster originated, and the other posters that were found with it, we believe it is likely from 1925, especially because Sunshine Sammy left the "Our Gang" movies in 1926, and we don't think it is possible that he would have been appearing in 1936 or later under that billing. Apparently, Hank Keene was one of the earliest radio comedians, and he was either billed as "Hank Keene & His Radio Gang", or as "Hank and Elmer with the Original Barn Dance Comedians" (we don't know which came first). He apparently was most popular in 1925 and 1926, and his shows were broadcast on the National Broadcasting Company's radio network (NBC), and since NBC was first created in the early 1920s, and truly became national in 1925, he was among the first radio comedians. We have been unable to find out additional information about Hank Keene, or this poster. If anyone knows more, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
