Online auction September 26 of Nelson Eddy’s “Let Freedom Ring” pants

maceddy Jeanette & Nelson costumes 0 Comments

Nelson Eddy’s pants from the film Let Freedom Ring (1939) are up for auction.

A closeup of the pants can be seen in the photo below, as well as the MGM label with a badly-faded name written on it, to show that these were worn by Nelson. But note that on the auction site, the photograph they show does not have Nelson in it!

The auction description: “Nelson Eddy worn trousers from 1939 western and musical film ”Let Freedom Ring”. Tweed trousers bear a Metro Goldwyn Mayer label sewn into the waistband, hand-marked with Eddy’s name. Approximate size 34. Yellowing to waistband interior, else near fine. With MGM wardrobe department tag and a COA from the Gene London Costume Collection.”

Here’s the link to the auction. Good luck to the winner; please email us if you get them!

“The Rosary” now available on Kindle!

maceddy Announcements Kindle 0 Comments

The Rosary is the next of our books to be offered as a Kindle book. Of all the proposed projects Jeanette and Nelson considered using for their movie comeback in the late 1940s, The Rosary seems to be tailor-made for them. In our edition, you can read the original novel as well as an introductory chapter with photos and the correspondence that went back and forth between Jeanette and Nelson as they discussed the book and the possibility of their filming it. Also included is the sheet music from the original song and background information and more photos about the novel’s author.

We have the paperback edition on sale (click on the photo above). Plus now you can get and immediately download the ebook at this link. It’s at a low introductory price for those who want to read it on their kindles, iphones, ipads or other smartphones or tablets (you just need to download the free Kindle app). Or download the free Kindle reader on Amazon’s website and download the book to your computer and read it that way!

Today in J/N History

1937 One month in advance it's announced that Jeanette has changed the date of her upcoming wedding from June 17 to June 16, since the church is suddenly not available on the 17th, despite it being booked for her wedding in advance. More likely, the date was changed because of the upcoming Patricia Douglas rape case against MGM, also scheduled for June 16. With the studio's power and influence over the press, the morning of June 17, Jeanette's lavish wedding was front page news while the Douglas case was, in most papers, pushed to the back pages.
