A Connecticut Yankee (Fox, 1931). One Sheet (27 X 41). , By 1931, Will Rogers was one of the most famous - and most beloved - men in the entire world. Noted as a cowboy, a political commentator and satirist, a humorist, a vaudeville entertainer, and a motion picture actor, Rogers began his show business career as a trick roper in Texas Jacks Wild West Circus, and quickly moved up the ladder of success, appearing in productions for William Hammerstein, and later - in 1915 - in Florenz Ziegfelds Midnight Frolic. He made his first appearance on the silver screen in 1918, playing the title role in Laughing Bill Hyde, and, seeing a future in pictures, quickly relocated to a ranch in Santa Monica, where he formed his own production company. In order to capture his unique humor in silent films, Rogers actually wrote many of his own title cards. Although he scored major successes in silent pictures, it was when the medium of sound films took over that Rogers career really took off. Now fully able to capitalize on the commentary and home-spun wit and wisdom that had endeared him to millions through his radio appearances and his syndicated newspaper columns, Rogers quickly shot to the top of Hollywood stardom in the early days of talking pictures, a spot that he would occupy until his sudden and unexpected death in an airplane accident in 1935. , Based on the well-known novel by Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee is one of Rogers most memorable films. He plays Henry Morgan, a hapless radio repairman who is called to the laboratory of a scientist (William Farnum) who believes he can contact the court of King Arthur via radio waves. A convenient blow on the head later, and Morgan finds himself transported to Camelot, where he meets the Once and Future King (Farnum, in a dual role) and proceeds to bring the benefits of twentieth century technology to the British court. When he discovers that one of the courtiers, Emile le Poulet (Frank Albertson) is actually his distant ancest
