If laughter is really the best medicine, these guys were the cure for just about everything. Presented are (2) comedic actor signed flats, with a W.C. Fields radio appearance contract and a Will Rogers index card. Good friends off the stage, these Hollywood legends of long ago cut their teeth in early 20th Century Vaudeville acts, earning lengthy stints in the Ziegfield Follies. Both graduated to films and were among the top box office draws of their day.



Fields (d.1946) is represented with a signed Masquers Club radio appearance contract, dated 10/20/45. Fields endorsement rates as ("7"), and the agreement is co-signed by his agent Charles Beyer, and Edward Earle of the Masquers Club.



Rogers (d.1935) is represented with a nicely centered ("8.5") signature, on a crisp 3" x 5" index card.



Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $100.
