Brock Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 This has me intrigued. I found this picture in the January 1941 edition of Screen Guide. As you can see from this caption, this “birthday card” was run up by friends. Does anyone have the backstory? I assume from Next Time I Marry being on the Marquee it is 38-ish, but.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I don't know anything about this, but it's pretty awesome. And whoever thought this up was very creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Groovy find! Too Many Girls and Dance, Girl, Dance are both up on marquees further in the background, so this would be a 1940 birthday card (although neither of those movies were released in time for her birthday).

Great eye! I wonder if the original is somewhere deep in the scrapbooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 The only thing better would be a 15 (or 17?) year old Morton Goldapper standing below the marquee of "Next Time I Marry" smugly pointing at himself with one hand and the marquee with the other. (The Golddappers were understandably concerned about their young son's sanity, having just returned from a vacation to Hollywood where on a studio tour of RKO, young Morty interrupted the guide, blurting out: "Someday (through community property ) I'll own all this.") 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Oh Neil, that's hilarious. And some how I can't imagine a young Morty. Have we ever seen any photos of him under 30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
