Rome, Harold. (1908–1993). Signed Photograph. Signed candid photograph of the smiling Broadway composer and lyricist. Inscribed, "For Steve Juscik / with my best / Harold Rome." 9.5 x 6.25 inches (23.7 x 16 cm). Unevenly cut; some surface crazing upper right; else in very good condition.
"Rome first came to prominence in 1937 with his music and lyrics for a revue, Pins and Needles, produced by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union; the song ‘Sing me a song with social significance’ from the show was not only a hit but became a militant anthem of the Depression era. Pins and Needles ran for three years and was frequently revived and taken on tour with current topical songs added." Deane L. Root and Gerald Bordman in Grove Music Online
