This past month I was fortunate enough to be contacted by a wonderful man who knew of my collection. He had found a costume that I would most certainly be interested in. One of my favorite MGM films from the 30's is "Everybody Sing." It features a fantastic cast including stars Judy Garland, Billie Burke, and Fanny Brice.
Probably the most notable scene within the film is "Swing Mr. Mendelssohn," performed by a very young Judy Garland. This scene has been used within countless documentaries and lasts as a prime example of Garland's talent level at a young age.
Although the costume is not Garland's and that of an extra's, the example is still incredible and I couldn't pass it up.
I had to get this piece.
The costume will go through a careful restoration as to remove the stains so that it may be preserved for many generations to come.
