Edward Arnold (1890-1956) moved from the stage, and bit parts in silent
movies, to starring film roles, beginning with Diamond Jim (1935). He
abandoned efforts to lose weight after deciding that his girth increased his
prospects for getting character roles. A favorite of director Frank Capra, he
played a corrupt boss in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1938) and starred
as Daniel Webster in The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941). A staunch
conservative who considered running for the Senate as a Republican, Arnold
nevertheless worked hard as President of the Screen Actors Guild to
protect fellow actors from excesses of the McCarthy era. 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. Scattered light
creases. Otherwise, fine condition.
