BASIL RATHBONE. Photograph signed: "Cordially/Basil Rathbone". Sepiatone, 5x7. Note on verso handwritten by Rathbone's secretary, Grace Mackay [?]: "Mr Rathbone wished me to thank you for sending him the interesting newspaper clippings and to assure you of his sincere appreciation for your charming letter. He is ill in bed with a cold or he would write personally. Sincerely." Rathbone (1892-1967) was at his best in period costume dramas. He was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor for playing Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet (1936) and King Louis XVI in If I Were King (1938). He was Murdstone in David Copperfield (1934), Evremonde in Tale of Two Cities (1935), Pontius Pilate in The Last Days of Pompeii (1936), Karenin in Anna Karenina (1936) and Guy of Gisbourne in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). In 1939, Rathbone was cast as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles, the first of 14 screen appearances as Conan Doyle's master detective. He also played Holmes on radio from 1939-1946. Lightly creased and soiled in upper margin. Otherwise, fine condition.
