Description: William Gaxton SIGNED 4x4 1/2 Paper with Book Photo in very good condition !!!! Signed "To Harry Wright Inscription William Gaxton " In 1922 Gaxton made his first Broadway appearance; this was in Irving Berlin’s Music Box Revue and over the next few years he developed his singing and stagecraft. His breakthrough came when he took a starring role in Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s A Connecticut Yankee (1927). In this show, Gaxton sang what was to become an enduring standard, “Thou Swell,” and in the process began to secure his lasting stage fame. In 1929 he consolidated his standing, this time in Cole Porter’s Fifty Million Frenchmen, singing another standard-to-be, “You Do Something To Me.” In the early 1930s he was in successive George and Ira Gershwin musical comedies, Of Thee I Sing (1931) and Let ’Em Eat Cake (1933), then went into Porter’s Anything Goes (1934). In all three of these shows, Gaxton’s elegant sophistication was contrasted with Victor Moore’s bumbling comedic stage presence. In the Porter show he had two more hit songs, a solo, “All Through The Night,” and a duet, “You’re The Top,” with co-star, Ethel Merman. Gaxton made several movies. A classic is It’s the Old Army Game (1926) a silent comedy film starring W. C. Fields and Louise Brooks.
