Kay Kyser Screen Worn Tunic
Blue tunic with gold accents, worn by actor/bandleader Kay Kyser in Playmates (1941), alongside John Barrymore. Features a United Costumers tag on the inner collar, with Kyser's name handwritten (and misspelled) as "Kay Kayser" along with a production number of 135 A. Kyser's radio program, Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge, performed successfully on NBC radio for over a decade and this allowed him to segue both he and his band into feature films. His most famous screen venture was You'll Find Out, alongside horror stars Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Peter Lorre.
