Rare vintage blue felt-tip pen signature on a 4x6-inch light green card, acquired in-person by indefatigable autograph hound John Virzi in the 1970s and decorated with a small book image of the star. In good condition. Busy supporting stage and screen actor Gavin Gordon was typically cast as imperious types or smooth-talking slimeballs. He made important contributions to the horror genre, playing George Winton in the Lionel Atwill favorite Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), Lord Byron in the opening sequence of James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Lieutenant Andy Anderson in The Bat (1959), alongside Vincent Price.
