Exceedingly rare vintage 7x5-inch Crescent Productions, Inc., day player agreement for 1943's North Star, in which she had a supporting role, boldly signed in black fountain pen at the bottom. In good condition for its age, with some brushing to the first letter of the signature. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the signed document is not included. Prolific character actress Fern Emmett played an unforgettable assortment of old bat gossips, silver-tongued aunts and uppity society crones in nearly 250 films of the 1930s and 1940s. Among horror, sci-fi and fantasy buffs, she is remembered for supporting roles in The Vampire Bat (1933), The Monster and the Girl (1941), The Mummy's Tomb (1942), Dead Men Walk (1943), Hangmen Also Die! (1943), Captive Wild Woman (1943), and Pillow of Death (1945).
