Exceptionally rare fountain pen signature on a roughly 2x4-inch clip from a pale green autograph album page, acquired in-person in the 1930s. In good condition, with some irregular trimming. Note that the image of the star shown alongside the scan of the signature here is not included. Dowdy character actress Daisy Belmore, sister of Lionel Belmore, played the older of two female coach passengers in the opening sequence of Tod Browning's Dracula (1931), sitting opposite Carla Laemmle. Her signature is one of the most elusive of the film's cast members. We've encountered two in 30 years!
