Turhan Bey Costume Designed by Vera West for Bowery To Broadway. Universal, 1944. Designed by Vera West. Bluish gray marching band-style jacket with red collar and cuffs and decorative gold braid trim and gold buttons, bearing an interior Western Costume/Hollywood bias label inscribed, 'L.H. Bartosh.' Universal was known for its horror films, but once in a while they produced an entertaining musical, including this one starring Turhan Bey, Maria Montez, and Jack Oakie. Songs and dances from the gay '90s brighten up this story of two competitive burlesque owners. Turhan Bey, an exotic Turkish leading man who was at the peak of his career in 1944, was a popular date with the leading ladies as well, often squiring Lana Turner about Hollywood. He can be seen wearing this costume as the leader of a band of musicians. With a corresponding still from the film. Exhibiting expected age and production wear.
