MICKEY ROONEY | GIRL CRAZY (1943) Oversized publicity photo

[Los Angeles]: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, [1943]. Vintage original 10 x 13″ (25 x 32 cm.) black-and-white double weight glossy silver gelatin photo. Crease at top right corner, ink stamped 988 on verso. Some soil to the back, about fine.

As the original typed blurb on verso tells us, Mickey, the busiest young man in filmdom, has just finished his role opposite Judy Garland in Girl Crazy and is about to embark on a tour of army camps. He would be joining Judy and gang on the train to sell war bonds all over the country as part of the Hollywood Cavalcade Tour. Mickey would also enter the service within the next year.
