This auction is for an original contract signed by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein in 1935. The contract is the assignment of Canadian Copyright for the song "Lonely Feet". The song was written for the musical "Three Sisters" in 1934. Both signatures are rare together on a contract. This piece is in excellent condition for it's age and has historical importance.
