An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Damon Runyon's Sorrowful Jones, the 1949 Sidney Lanfield horse racing sports gambling comedy ("Foreward narrated by Walter Winchell"; "Funnier than 'The Paleface'!"; "Adapted from a story by Damon Runyon") starring Bob Hope (in the title role as Humphrey 'Sorrowful' Jones), Lucille Ball, William Demarest, Bruce Cabot, Thomas Gomez, and Mary Jane Saunders (billed as "Introducing Mary Jane Saunders"). Note that this movie was based on a Damon Runyon short story called "Markie", about a little girl who is given as a "marker" on a gambling debt, and there had previously been a 1934 version of this movie called "Little Miss Marker" starring Shirley Temple, and that it was remade twice again after this version, in 1962 as "40 Pounds of Trouble" and 1980 as "Little Miss Marker"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Bob Hope AND William Demarest! This autographed item was obtained from the estate of a consignor, who recently passed away. He started collecting mostly lobby cards and stills in the late 1960s, and he hit on the idea that he could get a lot of them signed, because he knew that many of the stars were still alive, but that many of them lived in the Motion Picture Home run by the Academy, and he visited there many times, becoming friendly with a number of the stars there. He also was able to meet other older stars, and acquired most of his signatures in person, although a few were acquired through the mail. He went out of his way to obtain signed items from his favorite films and stars, which included It's a Wonderful Life and Harvey (because he became friends with Jimmy Stewart). He was also friends with Moe Howard and Larry Fine, and he obtained many signatures on items from their films, which he loved, and he also was friends with Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and most of the Munchkins, because he especially loved The Wizard of Oz! His family does not have certificates of authenticity for any of his items, but they do have multiple pictures of him with the stars who signed for him, and we are 100% certain that the items we are auctioning from his collection were personally signed by the stars! As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.
