Tough to acquire set of three individual fountain pen signatures by Al, Harry and Jimmy Ritz on a 4x6-inch tan autograph album page, acquired in-person in 1937 and decorated with a newspaper image. In good condition, with a few gentle crinkles. The lowbrow slapstick trio parlayed a successful stage act into a film contract with Fox in the 1930s, in an effort by the studio to rival the critical and popular success of the Marx Brothers. Pieces signed by all three brothers are quite elusive, as one normally signed on behalf of all.
