Signed oblong 8 x 10 inch photograph of the celebrated tap-dancing duo whose suppleness, strength, and fearlessness made them one of the greatest tap dance acts of all time. A marvelous image of them dressed as porters, leaping over four pieces of luggage, in a scene from the 1941 motion picture, The Great American Broadcast, boldly signed and inscribed in red ink by Harold Nicholas, "To Paul / Be Happy / Nicholas Bros" and "To Paul / The Best Always / Fayard Nicholas / 4-25-92." Press notice on verso for their appearance at The Great Tap Reunion at the Boston Opera House, pinholes to corners, else fine.
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
