Happy birthday Harold Nicholas! Many people aren't aware of Harold's extensive recording career in France in the 50s/60s. He had fun.

Pulled this from my collection to share today. It's a spectacular Italian lobby poster for the 1955 film 'Carosello del varieta' with the Nicholas Brothers and a host of others. Don't they look great?

More vintage Harold Nicholas, here in 1933 at 12 with Stoopnagle and Budd in the short 'Stoopnocracy'. He appears at 7:00 with an imitation of Cab Calloway. youtube.com/watch?v=Y7jOwz…

was clearly enjoying herself as she rode in an open convertible at the Santa Claus Lane Parade in 1940. Typically held the first Sunday after Thanksgiving, it was considered the opening of the Christmas shopping season. PaulaBroussard University Press of Kentucky

Another fun fact is that she worked with Mr. Morgan of the Hollywood Capezio store to design a prototype shoe/skate that she could do a dance number with. He made up several samples and they were tested out, but never used in a number. Lisa Royère
