John Payne Complete Period Costume
Waist coat with tails, vest and short pants worn by actor John Payne. This complete ensemble, a true relic of Hollywood's Golden Age, is astonishing to behold. The green jacket with crème lining has a United Costumers label with Payne's name handwritten on it, under a production number of 603 A. The tan vest has the same label, but with an affix of B. The top button of the vest is a snap. A handwritten notation of "Young" appears over the label. The brown pants.also feature the same handwritten name and number on the inner waist, also with an affix of B. Payne began his career as an affable leading man in several musicals such as Tin Pan Alley and Sun Valley Serenade but he found lasting fame as the protagonist of several film noir classics such as 99 River Street and Kansas City Confidential.
