Scarce vintage inscribed signature in blue ballpoint pen on a 4x5-inch pink autograph album page, acquired in-person in 1962, following a performance of the play "Oliver!"  In very good condition.  The roly-poly character actor is remembered by sci-fi and fantasy buffs as Saint Nick in the delightfully awful cult classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964).  He was elsewhere memorable in Fearless Fagan (1952), Hangman's Knot (1952), The Long, Long Trailer (1953), Arena (1953), and The Anderson Tapes (1971).
