I don't know about a signed movie poster from HOPB; I have never seen any of the movie's alumni on the autograph circuit. I know that Eulabelle Moore passed away shortly after the movie was completed. So that is indeed her last hurrah.
I dug a little deeper and found that Mr. Tippit had a couple of more DS connections. He played Hank in an early Off Broadway production of Boys In The Band at the same time that Don Briscoe was in the cast. He also replaced Stacy Keach as the title character in MacBird. MacBird is a very 1960's concept. It merges the plot of the Shakespearean play with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This play is where Roger Davis was discovered for DS.
But the most unusual thing I found was a 45 RPM by Wayne Tippit and The Texas Mountaineers called Coronation Stomp. It was on Buddha records, the same fine folks who brought us the Lemon Pipers and The 1910 Fruitgum Company.
