Scarce and nifty vintage 5x7-inch black and white bust portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in indigo fountain pen.  In very fine condition.  The British supporting actor was typically cast as urbane villains in thrillers, mysteries and crime flicks of the 1930s and 1940s, including The Dark Stairway (1938), Mr. Satan (1938), Devil's Island (1939), Wanted by Scotland Yard (1939), Calling Philo Vance (1940), and The Letter (1940).
