Scarce and charming vintage 5x7-inch sepia-tone image clipped from a magazine, boldly signed and inscribed in black fountain pen in-person in 1937. In good condition. Matronly, large-and-in-charge silent and early talkie character actress Marie Dressler starred in the screen's first full-length comedy, Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914), opposite Charles Chaplin and Mabel Norman, and snagged an Oscar for Min and Bill (1931) in 1932.
