HANDLEY (Tommy, 1896-1949, Radio Comedian of 'ITMA')

Portrait photo, signed across a rather dark portion of his jacket, showing him head and shoulders, nearly full face, slightly serious but with a smile forming on his lips, 7¼" x 5¼", no date, c.

In 1939 Handley won nation-wide fame through his weekly program 'Itma' (It's That Man Again) - an endearing mixture of satire, parody, slapstick, wit and verbal gymnastics which became a major factor in boosting war-time morale.
