He became ill and died of a perforated ulcer at the height of his fame, and his body lay in state, attracting crowds, riots, and suicide attempts by his fans.

Also included is a signature and sentiment from his wife on a separate similar sized album page, dated 1923. In fine condition, with a bit of light toning. RRAuction COA.
