Contact seller4-star sellerSheet music, 4to (9" x 11"), illustrated top cover with title, [1], 5, [1] pp. Some edgewear, partial spine split, normal aging; otherwise very good. While the Amos 'N' Andy radio show smacked of racism, it was quite popular at the time. The show debuted in 1926 and featured two white actors Freeman F. Gosden (Amos) and Charles…J. Correll (Andy) who appear on the cover in blackface make up. The sheet music "The Perfect Song" appears to have been the theme song for the show. Amos 'N' Andy would actually be converted to a TV show in the early 1950s, but would have black actors. This sheet music includes two other songs, including one sung by Rudy Vallee.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition (?). Square octavo, 236pp., illustrated. A good copy in the publisher's orange cloth, lacking the dust jacket. Cloth scuffed and gently soiled, but the contents clean and sound. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by both "Amos" and "Andy" on the first blank leaf. "Amos 'N' Andy" was a highly popular r…adio program, and the last widely successful example of minstrelsy in American culture. Though it is commonly believed that the show was uncontroversially popular in its time, it was in fact routinely boycotted in its day by Black Americans for its insulting portrayal of African-American culture.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Light wear along original fold lines. Blank on verso. Size 14.5 x 19.25 Inches. This is a 1935 Amos 'n' Andy map of Weber City, a high-class housing development created for the Amos 'n' Andy radio show. All fictional, coverage extends from Amos Jones Alley to Van Porter Road and from the 'love nest were Mr. and Mrs. A…ndrew H. Brown is going to live' and 'Everybody's Church' to Weber Park and 'Bite-a-Minute Lake'. A comical look at a fictional town, Weber City evidently played a role in, or was the setting for, at least one Amos 'n' Andy radio show. Amos 'n' Andy The Amos 'n' Andy radio show, set in Harlem, New York, ran as a nightly serial from 1928 through 1943, as a weekly situation comedy from 1943 - 1955, and as a nightly disc-jockey program from 1954 through 1960. A sign near the right border along South Weber Street gives the imagined distance from Weber City to Harlem. The Map Nearly every building is labeled, from 'Millie's Grandpa's House' to the grocery store and a garage, some are more entertaining than others. Prince Ali Bendo's multicolored striped tent, for example, sits at the corner of Weber Street and Kingfish Avenue next to a sign that reads 'knows all-sees all 50 cents / knows all-sees all. Tells everything. $1.00'. Numerous houses are for rent, and several open lots are for sale, all of which are managed by Henry Van Porter. Along the top of the map, a notice reads 'Entire city under juisdictionary of the Blue Eagle'. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Andrew H. Brown and Amos Jones and printed by the Gwindell Printing Company. It was copyrighted and distributed by Pepsodent, which sponsored the Amos 'n' Andy radio show. References: OCLC 822263493.
