Uncommon vintage inscribed black fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch light blue album page, acquired in-person by a New York City-based autograph hound in the 1940s. In good condition and suitable for matting with a favorite photograph. After a failed stab at cinematography, John Archer found work as a radio actor, taking over the role of Lamont Cranston on "The Shadow" (1944) from Orson Welles. He went on to appear in a number of "A" and "B" pictures, including Dick Tracy Returns (1938), King of the Zombies (1941), Bowery at Midnight (1942), Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943), White Heat (1949), Sante Fe (1951), Rock Around the Clock (1956), She Devil (1956), City of Fear (1959), and Blue Hawaii (1961).
