Frank Marshall Ventriloquist Figure Mouths
I was asked a good question on the pitch point of Frank Marshall’s figures. I wish that it was as easy as a quick measurement but every figure is unique and therefore each and every mouth must be fitted to its respective head.
Deciding factors would of course be how much wood has been removed from the sides of the mouth and cheek for the fit to be successful.
The Creation of Mortimer Snerd
Our good friend Phil Nichols sent me a link to this wonderful video of the creation of Edgar Bergen’s wonderful figure Mortimer Snerd.
I know you will love watching this video because it is so clear and really shows Virginia doing the sculpting.
Frank Marshall Figure Used By Roy Catell
Roy Catell ” International Singing Ventriloquist” , that’s what his card says, used this Frank Marshall ventriloquist figure.
This figure is a 30″ tall figure and only has slot jaw. He has glass eyes and his hair is all original crepe style hair. His paint is original as well. He is in totally original condition having never been restored.
