THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND PIECE OF VINTAGE HOLLYWOOD MEMORABILIA, A TRUE TREASURE TO ADD TO ANY COLLECTION.
EACH SIGNATURE WAS OBTAINED IN PERSON SOMETIME IN THE 1940’s.
Bob Hope, Gloria Blondell, (Joan’s sister and the star of a popular mystery radio show), Hanley Stafford, (“Dithers” on the Blondie radio show) Shemp Howard, Jackie Coogan, J. Carroll Naish, Bobby Barber, (noted character actors), Lou Costello, Bud Abbott, Fibber McGee and Molly and A.C. Lyles,(producer of many western films).
William (Bud) Abbott and Lou Costello (born Louis Francis Cristillo) performed together as Abbott and Costello, an American comedy duo whose work in radio, film and television made them the most popular comedy team during the 1940s and 50s. Thanks to the endurance of their most popular and influential routine, “Who’s on First?”—whose rapid-fire word play and comprehension confusion set the preponderant framework for most of their best-known routines—the team is, as a result, featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. (Contrary to popular belief, however, the duo was not inducted into the Hall.)
NORMA TALMADGE AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO/SIGNED SILENT FILM
EXTREMELY RARE AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO OF SILENT FILM ERA ACTRESS NORMA TALMADGE
Vintage 7 x 9 Melbourne Spurr portrait inscribed in black fountain pen
“Mr. O.K. Mason with Sincere Best Wishes Norma Talmadge”
Norma Talmadge (May 26, 1893 – December 24, 1957) was an American actress and film producer of the silent era. A major box office draw for more than a decade, her career reached a peak in the early 1920s, when she ranked among the most popular idols of the American screen.
Her most famous film was Smilin’ Through (1922),but she also scored artistic triumphs teamed with director Frank Borzage in Secrets (1924) and The Lady (1925). Her younger sisters Constance Talmadge and Natalie Talmadge were also movie stars. Talmadge married millionaire and film producer Joseph Schenck and they successfully created their own production company. After reaching fame in the film studios on the East Coast, she moved to Hollywood in 1922.
A specialist in melodrama, Talmadge was one of the most elegant and glamorous film stars of the roaring twenties. By the end of the silent film period her popularity with audiences had waned. After her two talkies proved disappointing at the box office, she retired a very wealthy woman. Of all the silent stars whose reputation collapsed with the coming of sound, Norma Talmadge was the most important. She is little remembered, since her films are seldom revived today, yet in her day she was hugely popular and the epitome of stardom.

Colleen Moore (August 19, 1900 – January 25, 1988) was an American film actress, and one of the most fashionable stars of the silent film era. TALKIES With the advent of talking pictures in 1929, Moore took a hiatus from acting. During this interim, Moore was briefly married to a prominent New York-based stockbroker , Albert Parker Scott, one of her four husbands. She and Scott lived at that time in a lavish home in Bel Air, where they hosted parties for and were supporters of the U.S. Olympic team, especially the yachting team, during the 1932 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. In 1933, Moore, by then divorced, returned to work in Hollywood. She appeared in three films, none of which were successful, and Moore retired. She later married the widower Homer Hargrave and raised his children (she never had children of her own) from a previous marriage, with whom she maintained a life-long close relationship. Throughout her life she also maintained close friendships with other colleagues from the silent film era, such as King Vidor and Mary Pickford.

Jobyna Ralston (November 21, 1900 – January 22, 1967) was an American actress of the silent film era.
Early life and career
Born Jobyna Lancaster Ralston in South Pittsburg, Tennessee in 1900 to parents who named her after famed entertainer of the time, Jobyna Howland. Jobyna’s mother, a portrait photographer, carefully groomed her daughter for a show business career.
At the age of nine she gave her first stage performance in Cinderella during the grand opening of the Wilson theatre/Opera House in 1909. Around 1915, Jobyna attended acting school in New York. She later danced chorus and sang in Broadway productions, her first being Two Little Girls In Blue. This production marked her Broadway debut, when she was 21. Comedian Max Linder saw her on stage and persuaded her to go to Hollywood, where Jobyna appeared in a number of his films. She also co-starred in Humor Risk (1921), the fabled lost comedy short film that was to be the film debut of the Marx Brothers. Soon director Hal Roach began to star the actress in one-reel comedies. She abandoned the stage for the screen in 1922 when her mother’s health began to decline, and she needed to make more money to help pay the medical bills.
Starring with Harold Lloyd
In 1923 she was named by the film industry as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars. This award was given every year to the top up and coming female stars. This same year she starred with silent comedian Harold Lloyd in Why Worry?, and for the next five years appeared in six of Lloyd’s feature films as his leading lady. Ralston brought both genuine emotional depth and comedic talent to these films. It is for these performances and her onscreen chemistry with Lloyd that she is best remembered today. She would start the trend for romantic comedies with Girl Shy. The chemistry of that film is unmatched.
Silent film career
As a freelance actress, Jobyna co-starred with Richard Arlen, in the first Oscar-winning film, Wings (1927). She had a feature role in a film which also featured Clara Bow, Gary Cooper, and Buddy Rogers. She would star in eleven more motion pictures, among them Special Delivery (1927) co-starring Eddie Cantor. Her film career ended after two early talkies when Jobyna became a mother. Her last talkie, Rough Waters (1930), found her acting with Rin Tin Tin.
Personal life
Jobyna was married twice. The first time was to her childhood beau John Campbell, but the marriage did not last. She married actor Richard Arlen in 1927, who she had met on the set of Wings. They had one child, actor Richard Arlen Jr.. Ralston and Arlen divorced in 1945. She spent the last five years of her life suffering from rheumatism and had a series of strokes. She died in 1967 from pneumonia at the Motion Picture Country Home in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California. She was 67 years old.
