Ultra-rare, mattable vintage signature in black fountain pen on a 4x5-inch tan album page, acquired in-person in 1930. In good condition for its age, with tape remnants to the corners, where it had been tipped inside a matte window for display. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside tghe scan of the signed page is not included. Veteran character actor O.P. Heggie is probably best known for his portrayal of the blind hermit who interacts so amicably with the Monster in one of the most iconic sequences of James Whale’s horror classic Bride of Frankenstein (1935). He was elsewhere noteworthy as Inspector Nayland Smith in The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu (1929) and The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu (1930), opposite Warner Oland in the role of the titular criminal mastermind.
