Two large scrapbooks, measuring approximately 11.5 x 15, bearing over 250 autographed items removably corner-mounted inside, primarily consisting of clipped signatures but also containing a few photos. Many signatures are inscribed to “Ruth,” who generally noted where and when she acquired the autograph, with dates ranging from 1945 to 1954. Also of interest are a number of unsigned vintage candid snapshots of the celebrities taken when the original collector obtained the autographs. Signers include: Marian Anderson, Fred Astaire, Lauren Bacall, Lucille Ball, Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Eddie Cantor, John Carradine, Montgomery Clift, Leo Durocher, Duke Ellington, Robert Frost, John Garfield, Susan Hayward, Van Heflin, Katharine Hepburn, Herbert Hoover, Al Jolson, Deborah Kerr, Bert Lahr, Veronica Lake, Carole Landis, Peter Lorre, Victor Mature, Arthur Miller, Gregory Peck, Walter Pidgeon, Tyrone Power, Claude Rains, Frank Sinatra (pencil), Barbara Stanwyck, Gene Tierney, Robert Walker, Orson Welles, and a very early Natalie Wood. Unsigned candids include Herbert Hoover, Peter Lorre, Ingrid Bergman, Veronica Lake, Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, and Orson Welles. In overall very good to fine condition. An extraordinary collection containing many of the most desirable autographs from the golden age of Hollywood.
