[bomp] Personality Posters on the drumhead
There was a definite 20s nostalgia fad during the 60s
- - which actually began the revival/nostalgia fad
cycle....
But that doesn't mean that your hip young audience in
1967 would have been receptive to seeing Maurice
Chevalier or Rudy Vallee....
Mmmmmm..... well, maybe "Winchester Cathedral" was a play on Vallee, and of
course there was that Disney film with Haley Mills and Chevalier. Also, on a
vintage level, during the '60s there was that company in New York, Personality
Posters, that had that W.C. Fields poster from "The Bank Dick" (I believe).
Not '20s, but... the cool thing about that poster was that... I think... the
Mugwump Establishment uses that on their drumheads (they had two kick drums) in
MONDO HOLLYWOOD.
Personality Posters also had that Raquel Welch poster from 10,000 B.C. (I
can't count the years right) and also the Bridgette Bardot poster from her
special... on the motorcycle. The Marx Brothers with the pipes from A NIGHT IN
CASABLANCA, that too.
