Distinctive

A showgirl seen from behind inside a purple-curtained stage arch at the lower left, fanned out behind her in a fan of green, yellow and pink rays, framed like a music-hall proscenium against a brick wall. The title 'Miss Annabelle' in huge yellow-and-red script across the top, with a bright white glare blob sitting over the middle of the word. A four-window score panel reading '0,000' beside a 'SCORE TO BEAT' display. A grinning man in a white shirt and black bow tie playing a bright yellow guitar at the bottom right, with a blonde woman in a pink bodice in the doorway behind him. Two blank green instruction cards in a gold frame in the centre-left.

Full description

A wood-framed backglass painted as a red-orange brick wall, with the title 'Miss Annabelle' arcing across the top in large yellow-orange cursive script outlined in red with a white-and-black drop shadow. A small white ribbon banner in the upper left corner carries a manufacturer line, and a small script credit sits below the tail of the title at upper right. Upper left holds a cream-and-purple rounded rectangle with the printed words 'SCORE TO BEAT' above four mechanical digit windows; upper right holds a matching purple-and-gold panel with four large digit windows showing 0,000, framed like a marquee sign. The lower half is a French Quarter street scene: a woman in a pink sequinned showgirl costume seen from behind inside a curtained proscenium arch at lower left, a fan of coloured rays behind her, two blank green instruction cards in a gold frame, a hanging stained-glass-style lamp, and a balcony. Lower right shows a blonde woman in a pink bodice in a doorway, a smiling dark-haired man in a white shirt and black bow tie playing a yellow guitar, and a receding row of balconied buildings in green and pink.
