Vintage hardcover autograph album, 7.25 x 5, signed inside on a single page in fountain pen by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., with the date of May 21, 1931, added in another hand. Additional signatories in the volume include Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Houdini's manager Harry Day, illustrator J. F. Horrabin, and several Members of Parliament: Leslie Hore-Belisha, David Lewis Davies, James D. Cassels, Abraham Lyons, Reginald Purbrick, John Roland Robinson, and Adrian Moreing. In fine condition.
Chaplin, Pickford, and Fairbanks—along with D. W. Griffith—had founded United Artists in 1919 as a studio premised upon allowing actors to control their own interests, rather than being dependent upon commercial studios. Their signatures together on a single page represent a significant piece of cinematic history.
