Highly uncommon vintage blue ballpoint pen signature on a roughly 3x4-inch portion of a lined notebook leaf, acquired in-person by a busy New York City-based autograph hound in the early 1950s. In good condition for its age. Nobody could forget hulking, loudmouthed, menacing character actor B.S. Pully, even if only for his portrayal of Big Jule in Guys and Dolls (1955).  He also stood out in Take It or Leave It (1944), Wing and a Prayer (1944), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945), and A Hole in the Head (1959).
