This singer and songwriter, a major country star of the '40s and '50s, crooned his way through a number of Hollywood shoot-'em-ups in the 1940s; he also had a popular CBS radio show (1952-57). Bold and nice "To Donald Burnell / With good wishes / Jimmy Wakely" penned in purple ballpoint, irregular-trimmed (roughly rectangular) 4½" X 2" slip, n.p., n.y. [ca. 1970]. Good plus. Small scotch tape stain at upper left and upper right corner (the former touching the "T," the latter touching the last "l" in "Burnell"). Accompanied by a choice vintage 10" X 8" sepia-tone glossy photograph, a scene from the 1944 Western "Swing in the Saddle" depicting him front and center with singer Jane Frazee, the "Hoosier Hotshots" band behind them. Despite condition flaws, an uncommon signature -- and a humdinger image.

Revised Draft script for the 1949 film., "Brand of Fear," here under the working title, "Range Rogues." Copy belonging to actor Marshall Reed, who played "Cal Derringer" in the film, with his name on the front wrapper in manuscript ink, and annotations throughout in manuscript ink and pencil. One of Wakely's final films at Monogram Pictures, where he became a popular musical Western actor under his own name, beginning with "Springtime in Texas" (1945), and ending with "Lawless Code" (1949). This time Wakely and his partner Cannonball Taylor escort a school teacher (Davis) to Oreville, where she is accosted by two outlaws. The local marshal (London) wrangles with one of the outlaws, who informs his cohort that the marshal is actually wanted by the law himself, and they attempt to blackmail him. Wakely and Cannonball show up to help the marshal, who in reality is the school teacher's father, and nab the outlaws. Wakely eventually had his own comic book series, published by DC Comics, 1949-1952, and he was also inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, as well as the Western Music Association Hall of Fame. Shot on location at Melody Ranch and Walker Ranch in Newhall, California. Blue titled wrappers, with a credit for Wakely.

This singer and songwriter, a major country star of the '40s and '50s, crooned his way through a number of Hollywood shoot-'em-ups in the 1940s; he also had a popular CBS radio show (1952-57). IPS, 8" X 10", n.p., n.y. [ca. 1970]. Near fine. Subtle scotch tape stain at each corner. Classy half-length glossy portrait of Wakely in suit and tie, plucking his guitar, at the height of his fame.
