Residence of Bob Hope, North Hollywood, California, 1941

 

1941

 

 

Many Hollywood postcards were constructed like this one, with a photograph of the home and an inset of a publicity photograph of the actor. In this case the actor was comedian Bob Hope (1903-2003), known for his appearances in vaudeville, radio, television, and motion pictures, including the "Road" movies with Bing Crosby, a series that began in 1940. A National Broadcasting Company microphone is included in the publicity photograph, and the bottom margin characterizes Hope as "star of NBC and Motion Pictures." Hope's career with NBC began in 1934 and continued until the 1950s. The number on the bottom right is 1B-H1016, which, according to the guide maintained by the Curt Teich Postcard Archives, translates to 1941.
