Vintage Jimmy Durante Photo and Cane
<B>Vintage Jimmy Durante Photo and Cane.</B></I> Jimmy Durante was one of the sensational comics of all time, and these two marvelous items are devoted to "The Great Schnozzola." His cane is a dandy item with a silver horse's head (with the initials "JD" engraved at the head's base) topping the smooth, 32.5" bamboo stick. It is accompanied by a fascinating 7" x 13" picture of Jimmy during his 1939 Broadway run in Stars in Your Eyes, with co-star Ethel Merman; as well as Mary Martin, Sophie Tucker, Victor Moore, and William Gaxton (all of whom were also on Broadway at the time in Leave It to Me!); Olsen and Johnson (then starring in Hellzapoppin); Jimmy Savo (then starring in The Boys from Syracuse); and others. The cane has some wear at the bottom and the matting on the picture has a bit of wear and a few cracks, but otherwise they are in Very Fine condition. Great artifacts from a show business legend.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
