Scarce brown fountain pen signature on a 3x5-inch slip, acquired in-person in the 1930s. In good condition and ideal for matting. Brawny, barrel-chested character actor Warren Hymer played dimwitted cops, gangsters and sidekicks in films like Born Reckless (1930), Charlie Chan Carries On (1931), The Spider (1931), 20,000 Years in Sing Sing (1932), The Cat's-Paw (1934), Kid Millions (1934), Dante's Inferno (1935), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Ali Baba Goes to Town (1937), Lady Behave! (1937), Mr. Moto in Danger Island (1939), Destry Rides Again (1939), Meet John Doe (1941), Baby Face Morgan (1942), Phantom Killer (1942), and Since You Went Away (1944). He died of a stomach ailment at the age of 42 and his autograph is highly elusive in any format.
