Although my interest in Jack Kelly dates back only a few months, one corner of my desk is already precariously piled with JK kollectibles. (Don't panic - I'm going to find a proper place for them.)
One of the items I've found is a set of British lobby cards advertising a film called Ellie. Now, if you glance at any of Jack Kelly's filmographies, you probably won't find a movie by that title.

I'm wondering about this picture -- is she trying to figure out if he likes butter?
This one is my favorite.
I think JK looks very Humphrey Bogart-ish here.
Smilin' Jack!
