An Original Vintage Autographed Contract (measures 8 1/2" x 11"; 2 pages) (Learn More) Eddie Cantor (born Isidore Itzkowitz) was a comic actor and singer from the 1920s to the 1950s. He performed a little later than Al Jolson, but there were similarities between the two men, and Cantor had very large expressive eyes and was nicknamed "Old Banjo Eyes". He had a very successful radio show in the 1930s. Some of his movies include: Thank Your Lucky Stars, Hollywood Canteen, and Whoopee! There was a movie biography of his life called "The Eddie Cantor Story". He passed away in 1964 at the age of 72. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Eddie Cantor! The contract is between Eddie Cantor's agent, the William Morris Agency, and the Elmira Lodge of B'Nai Brith, where Cantor agreed to appear in return for a guarantee of at least $2,500, with him getting 50% of the gross receipts from the show (and $1,250 as a down payment). Also note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity. Condition: very good. The two pages of the contract are stapled together and there are staple holes in the top left corner of the larger page. Learn More about condition grades
