Nearly impossible to find vintage blue fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch pale green album page, acquired in-person in the 1930s. In good condition, and ideal for matting with a favorite photograph. Note that the image shown alongside the scan of the signed item here is not actually included with the piece. Small, snarky, bespectacled character actor Charles Halton was a veritable scene-stealer in nearly 200 Hollywood classics, including Come and Get It (1936), The Prisoner of Zenda (1937), Juarez (1939), Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), Charlie Chan at Treasure Island (1939), Lady of the Tropics (1939), Golden Boy (1939), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), The Ghost Comes Home (1940), Dr. Cyclops (1940), The Shop Around the Corner (1940), Lillian Russell (1940), They Drive by Night (1940), Foreign Correspondent (1940), Lady Scarface (1941), The Body Disappears (1941), To Be or Not to Be (1942), Saboteur (1942), Up in Arms (1944), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945), Rhapsody in Blue (1945), The Thin Man Comes Home (1945), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1946), It's a Wonderful Life (1946), and If You Knew Susie (1948).
