Scarce early vintage matte-finish 7.5 x 9.25 portrait photo of the Lon Chaney, Jr., at the start of his legendary career, signed and inscribed in black ink to noted sound engineer Lodge Cunningham, "For Lodge, If I don't become a plumber and I do become an actor I can never hope for any finer help on my dialogue or real cooperation than I have received from you. Creighton Chaney.” In fine condition, with tastefully trimmed edges, and poor-to-moderate signature contrast. It was only after his father died in 1930 that Chaney began acting in films, billed under his own name, Creighton. Signed to RKO, Chaney used his given name for roughly four years, until 1935, with The Marriage Bargain serving as his last film billed under that name.
