Cat. #003282: MARTHA SLEEPER

Scarce vintage fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch tan autograph album page, acquired in-person in the 1930s. In good condition for its age. Lovely silent screen comedienne Martha Sleeper, who was also a WAMPAS Baby Star, began her career in Hal Roach shorts, opposite Charley Chase, and was memorable in the Laurel and Hardy gem Fluttering Hearts (1927), and Laurel's solo effort Should Tall Men Marry? (1928).  She went on to fine work in talking films like Madam Satan (1930), Broken Dreams (1933) and The Bells of St. Mary's (1945).
