Nifty vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait-- given on behalf of both himself and Charlie McCarthy!-- playfully signed and inscribed in the 1930s. In good condition. Legendary ventriloquist Edgar Bergen is remembered for lending his voice to a number of wooden alter egos, including hayseed Mortimer Snerd and man-hungry Effie Clinker, but Charlie McCarthy would always remain the star attraction.
