HARDY, Oliver (1892-1957) The greatest comedy duo in the history of cinema. The thin English-born Laurel began acting with a British touring company before traveling to America in 1910. He started his film career in the silents from 1917. His future partner, the fat Hardy joined a troupe of minstrels before casually contrasting personalities, general clumsiness made them the most loved comedians of their time, a popularity that remains today. A fantastic pair of signatures together on a single album page. Very scarce as such. This is one of the finest pair of signatures of Laurel and Hardy we have seen in over 40 years. On the verso is a pencil signature of David E. Rose (1895-1992). He was a producer of many films from 1930 on. He was the financial advisor and general manager to silent screen star Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. Rose served as Vice-President of United Artists and general manager of Samuel Goldwyn Productions. Rose headed the British department of Paramount Pictures until 1949. He formed the David E. Rose Productions. Perfect for matting with your favorite photograph of the two...............$950.00  |
