July 10, 1935. Clive Brook (1887-1974), a veteran of World War I, became
a star of the English stage and screen, debuting on stage in 1918 and making
his first film in 1920 and his first Hollywood film in 1924. Among his stage
performances were roles in Oliver Twist, The Importance of Being
Earnest, Voysey Inheritance and If I Were King. He played
Sherlock Holmes three times in The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1929),
Sherlock Holmes (1932, when he also starred in Shanghai Express)
and in the movie revue Paramount on Parade (1930). Concentrating on
theatre after 1950, he made only one more film after 1950: The List of Adrian
Messenger (1963), where he had third billing after George C. Scott and Dana
Winter. Saul Goodman (1919-2003), a New York business man by day, pursued
his love of film and theatre in the evening, making friends with many
celebrities. While other autograph seekers offered album leaves, Goodman
presented stars with snazzy photographs, a rarity then, to sign in fountain pen.
