Scarce vintage inscribed black fountain pen signature on a roughly 3x5-inch tan card, attained in in the 1920s and decorated with a magazine image of the star. In fine condition for its age. Unforgettable as Professor Roth, opposite Marlene Dietrich as Lola Lola in Josef von Sternberg's Der blaue Engel (The Blue Angel, 1930), eminent German actor Emil Jannings nabbed the first Academy Award for Best Actor in 1929. He also made notable contributions to the silent horror and science-fiction genres, appearing in Eyes of the Mummy Ma (1918), Algol-- Tragödie der Macht (1920), Waxworks (1924), and Faust (1926).
