an original 1940s World War II era posed candid of Marlene Dietrich as Santa’s little helper to Eddie Cantor’s father Christmas during one of the many morale boosting celebrity star studded events which occurred continually at the Hollywood Canteen ( a club offering food, dancing and entertainment for servicemen, usually on their way overseas). Joseph Jasgur captures the frivolity that the Canteen offered by bringing the glamour of tinsel town to servicemen on their way to the grit of war. This is a very rare Victory girl morale boosting piece of Hollywood history, celebrity Americana, and Marlene Dietrich memorabilia, vintage and original, inkstamped on verso.
