About this Item
Bug-eyed, walrus-mustachioed American comedian and musician remembered for his Bob Hope USO appearances overseas; films include several of the Hope-Crosby "Road" pictures. Asked to compose a humorous verse by an admirer, Colonna manages a two-line ditty in his large, bold script: "To Donald Burnell / I can't even spell / Jerry Colonna" in blue ballpoint, roughly rectangular 4 3/4" X 4" slip, n.p., n.y. [ca. 1960]. Good plus. Several small scotch tape stains at edges, slightly touching upon two letters only. Despite flaw, a fun and fairly attractive item. Comes with a delightful 10" X 8" glossy black-and-white, a still scene from the 1944 musical romance film "Atlantic City" showing Colonna and co-star Constance Moore on the Atlantic City beach in 1915, he in naval seaman's uniform ogling her in swimsuit. Very good. Minor edgewear and pinhole at each corner. Seller Inventory # 22816
