Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!
A few years back, TDS asked a Valentine's Day question.
Well, here's another Valentine's Day question:
The answer is: "Of course he is!"
Because "he" is Jack Kelly:
"Don't pout if he suddenly decides to have the gang over for dinner--he'll do the cooking and you'll love it. The guy's a whiz at golf, swimming and spear fishing. Easy-going and generous, he'll surprise you with gifts. If you get a kick out of life, Kelly's the boy for you."
No doubt about that! :)
And if you get a kick out of Kelly, please stay tuned to TDS! :)
Hello Everyone!
Yet another Jack Kelly postcard has joined the Kellection, and it's an absolute doozy! It's also the earliest (and best) one I've seen so far:
The front of the card shows a young JK during his pre-Maverick days as a Universal-International contract player. Just look at that smile! :) There's also a facsimile signature.
The reverse of the card (addressed to a fan in Kansas) has a 2-cent postmark and a plug for the U-I film Mississippi Gambler, which was released in 1953.
The message says:
"Dear Friend: Thank you for your letter. I am only too happy to send you a photograph in response to your request. In the event you wish a larger photograph, I am listing below the various sizes available. You will note a small charge is made to cover printing and mailing cost. Thanks again for writing me."
The charges are $1.00 for a 11" x 14" photo, $0.25 for an 8" x 10" photo, $0.10 for a 5" x 7" photo and $.05 for "snapshots". How I wish photos of JK were available at those prices today--I paid a lot more than $1.00 for this postcard. ;)
Well, I hope this post has your "stamp" of approval. TDS is the address for all things JK, so please stay tuned! :)
