Arthur Schwartz.. Watch these numbers climb up in the Hit Parade: 'Seal It With A Kiss' - 'Call To Arms' - 'Love And Learn' - 'My Nephew From Nice' - 'Moonface'"; about a pretty Parisienne singer who meets an American band leader, and she becomes so smitten by him that she follows him back to the U.S. and manages to convince him to hire her as the band's singer) starring Lily Pons, Jack Oakie, Gene Raymond, Lucille Ball, Mischa Auer, and Frank Jenks. Note that sixth-billed Lucille Ball had only had very minor parts to this point. The following year, she would have her breakout role in "Stage Door", which would lead to starring roles in lesser movies and supporting roles in major movies! Also note that Lily Pons was a real life opera star who was drafted into movies after the great success of Jeanette MacDonald, and for her first one, she was given "I Dream Too Much" in 1935, with music by Jerome Kern, who had composed the music for the hit movie "Roberta" the year before. But she only appeared in three more movies between 1935 and 1937, and then returned to opera singing. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Gene Widhoff Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from a yearbook or magazine. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: very good.
