Richard Arlen was born in 1899 and was a pilot in the Royal Canadian Flying Corps in World War I, but he never saw action. After the war, it took him several years to find himself, and he was discovered by Hollywood in the early 1920s, but it still took him several years of very minor roles (many uncredited) before he got his big break as one of the leads in "Wings" in 1927. He became a lead star, and had no trouble with the transition to sound, but his career went downhill in the late 1930s. He became deaf at the end of the 1940s, but an operation restored his hearing, and he continued in movies into the 1960s. He passed away in 1976 at the age of 76. AND Dean Jagger was born in 1903. Although he started in movies in 1929, he is best remembered for the movies he made in his late forties, when he was a very dependable character actor in movies such as 12 O'Clock High (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and in Executive Suite, Bad Day at Black Rock, White Christmas, and many others. But did you know that in 1940 he played the title role in Brigham Young? He studied the religion when preparing for the role, converting many years later.

Important Added Info: This album page has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Richard Arlen AND Dean Jagger (each star signed on a different side of the album page)! It could be matted with a vintage or repro still and framed together to make a cool display, but of course, one would have to choose which side to display!

Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1970s on. He purchased the signed photos that were in the inventory of a long running Hollywood memorabilia store, and he has consigned a large number of them to us, and we are auctioning them here, including this item. The store would get items signed when celebrities visited them, and they also bought collections of signed items, but of course only when they were convinced that they were genuine! Both we and our consignor feel it is extremely likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.
