Contract signed: "Monte Blue", 25 pages, 9x14. Burbank,
California, 1944 March 20. Exclusive studio contract with Warner Bros. for
the duration of 13 weeks with a pay of $150 per week. Silent screen leading
man and "talkies" character actor Monte Blue (1887-1963), who was
sometimes billed G.M. (for Gerald Montgomery) Blue, began his career as a
stuntman with the D.W. Griffith Studios before making his debut as an extra
in The Birth of a Nation (1915). After his breakthrough role in
Orphans of the Storm (1921), Blue starred opposite the most
popular leading ladies of the day, including Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow and
Norma Shearer. He made his last feature film in 1954. Blue also appeared on the
small screen in two made-for-TV movies in 1966 and on a number of TV Western
series from 1949 (The Lone Ranger) to 1960 (Rawhide). Two
years before he signed this contract, Blue had appeared in an un-billed role in
one of Warner Bros. greatest films, Casablanca. He remained a contract
player with the studio for many years. Very heavily creased at folds (pages
collapse inwards). Toned. Corners and edges slightly worn and creased. Dark
stains on verso. Faint stains. Light surface creases. Otherwise, fine
condition.
