Rather uncommon vintage black signature, adding the play name "Beware of Imitations," given on an 8x6-inch pink autograph album leaf, acquired in-person following a stage performance in the 1910s. Actress Cissy Fitzgerald signs in pencil on the verso. In fine condition for its age, with a few minor flecks of soiling. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the signature is not included. Once a gorgeous darling of the Broadway stage, formidable Cecilia Loftus made only 12 forays into film, one of which was her old age tour-de-force portrayal of Henrietta Winslow in the Bela Lugosi classic The Black Cat (1941).
