HUGH HERBERT
Rare signed photo wearing a suit and tie, Inscribed in person to collector Saul Goodman
Inscribed photograph signed: "To Saul/Woo! Woo!/Hugh Herbert". B/w 8x10 (caption at lower
edge). Collector's ink stamp on verso dates signature: April 11, 1938.Vaudeville and film
comedian Hugh Herbert (1885-1952) played flustered characters with his trademark silly
giggle. He starred in B-pictures and played supporting roles in major ones. He was often
caricatured in Loony Tunes cartoons of the 1930s and 1940s. One of his best remembered
roles was as a nutty detective in Hellzapoppin' (1941). His brother, Tom Herbert, played
similarly goofy comic roles. Herbert also wrote many plays and scripts. 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. Corners lightly worn and creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
