The poster for *How's About It*, an RKO Radio Pictures release, is distinguished by its pairing of performers: its subject headings name the Andrews Sisters and the drummer Buddy Rich. Both were prominent entertainers of the early 1940s, when swing bands and close vocal harmony filled wartime movie musicals meant to lift audiences' spirits. The Andrews Sisters had become national stars with hits such as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" (1941), and Rich had risen to fame as a young drummer in the big bands of the period. The poster is undated beyond its approximate 1943 production year, so its exact release details are best checked against film records.
