    Description

    ROUGH AS SHOWN 8 BY 10 INCH  GLOSSY OF A BLACK FEMALE PERFORMER: "KITTY MURRAY." THIS PHOTO IS SIGNED "TO BILL/ KITTY MURRAY" ON THE BOTTOM BORDER NEAR HER PRINTED NAME TO THE LEFT. THIS ITEM WAS ONE OF 40 OR SO SIGNED PHOTOS FROM A COLLECTION ALL SIGNED TO BILL. IMPORTANLY, MS MURRAY WAS REPRESENTED BY JOE GLASER PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATED BOOKING CORP. THE ABC LOGO ON THIS PIECE WAS USED FROM 1949 INTO THE 1950S. THAT WAS THE TIME PERIOD WHEN GLASER BEGAN A RELATIONSHIP OF REPRESENTATION WITH LOUIS ARMSTRONG, BILLIE HOLLIDAY AND MANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT BLACK PERFORMERS.
    I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY INFORMATION ON KITTY MURRAY AS OF YET, BUT A RARE HAND SIGNED ITEM OF EVEN AN UNKNOWN PERFORMER FROM THIS PERIOD, REPRESENTED BY GLASER/ABC, HAS A GREAT HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
    ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE ITEMS FOR SHIPPING SAVINGS. PLEASED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
