| Frank Marshall carved figures
for many famous ventriloquists and this one was just that. It was
carved for ventriloquist Roy Douglas. Later it was owned by Terry
Bennett. Terry used this figure as his female figure called Missy.
(You can see Missy in a couple of the videos on the Terry Bennett
pages -

the freight bill to Roy Douglas from Frank Marshall. This figure was
made in 1946 and is a pretty loaded example with the following
functions. Side to side self centering eyes, raising eyebrows,
crying effect, right eye winks and he sticks out his tongue.
He is a smaller size standing just 34" tall.
Roy Douglas was a very small man and maybe that is why he used a
smaller figure.
Check out the price that was paid by Roy for 2
figures from Marshall in 1946!!! |
