The shirt is of a similar style, but festooned with decorations.) Typed caption on verso: "OLD COW HAND - Buck Benny rides again, but this time it's for the movies. Jack Benny wears this western garb in Paramount's 'Artists and Models Abroad.' It is not, however, a western, but a romantic comedy laid against the background of the International Exposition in Paris.'" Artists and Models Abroad, which starred Benny as Buck Boswell, was released in 1938. Margins trimmed away. Lightly creased and soiled. Paper scuffs at upper and right backgrounds and at lower left corner. Tape remnant at upper background, tape stains at lower corners. Soiled on verso.

Is that rough riding Jack 'Buck' Benny galloping into New York in a 20th Century barber's chair. Don't be disappointed, girls, 'Buck' is just getting the city slicker trimmings for his stay in the big town. He's here for the opening of his new pictures and personal appearances. Journal-American Photo." Another article to the left of photo describes the Grand Central Terminal being transformed (with cowboys, a hillbilly band and a wooden horse) to promote Benny's film, Buck Benny Rides Again, which opened the following week. According to the article, Benny said, "It's my funniest picture. It's so funny that even I have to laugh."
