From the original caption supplied by Columbia Pictures:
"Interesting Company: Two Columbia contract beauties, Norma Randall, left, and Rosemarie Bowe, have little Tommy Rettig in tow as he prepares to leave on a cross-country tour to exploit his latest film, The Kramer Company's Technicolor The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T. All are wearing official 'T' shirts and beanies."

Excellent stuff.
I have an original insert poster for this on my wall at home...needless to say, I would probably kill for one of those beanies.
all these images are great. this whole week has been really fun. i hope you consider doing a guest contribution week again sometime.
Back in the 1970s or 80s I'd contacted Columbia about those beanies...I think I spoke with three or four people there, and not one of them had the faintest idea of what I was talking about.
I'd kill for one of those beanies. Hell, I'd maim for one of those T-shirts.
"Is that the 5,001st finger in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us?"
Whatever happened to Norma Randall? She was in several Three Stooges shorts. That's why I'm looking for her. If you can help, please email me at: fereighteraol.com.
Thanks,

I agree on the need for one of those t-shirts! I used to think that the "Alfred E Newman for President" or "Dizzy Gillespie For President" were the first promotional t-shirt/sweatshirts, but this would have been just ahead of that curve, if the movie had been a major hit.
Maybe a Terwilliker Institute t-shirt is in order? Cafe Press?
