1950List2914Unknown location 1950. 7 x 11 inch poster. Some small marginal tears overall excellent. A small poster for Pearl Bailey with the Louie Bellson Quartet presented by the United Service Organizations and Department of Defense. Bailey 1918–1990 was a singer dancer and actress; she started her career performing at Black nightclubs on the east coast and later performed in several Broadway hits including an all-Black version of Hello Dolly! Louie Bellson 1924–2009 was Bailey’s husband a composer bandleader and jazz drummer credited with inventing the double bass drum setup. Bailey toured regularly with the USO beginning in 1941 though this poster is likely from later; the DOD was called the Department of War until 1949 and the USO was inactive between 1945 and 1950. unknown
