RAYMOND MASSEY
Signed photo on a book page, showing him in rehearsal for a role as General Chennault
Book page signed: "Raymond Massey", 6¾x9½. Signed on a photo reproduction showing him
in rehearsal in the role of General Claire Chennault. (He played this role in the 1945 film God
is My Co-Pilot.) Raymond Massey (1896-1983) starred in his first talking picture as Sherlock
Holmes in The Speckled Band. He divided his time between stage and screen, offering
excellent performances in major motion-picture efforts (The Scarlet Pimpernal, 1935 and
Things to Come, 1936). Massey's appearance in Abe Lincoln in Illinois was his most
famous role; he appeared in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway production and then
repeated his Lincoln characterization in this film version, earning an Academy Award
nomination as Best Actor. Twenty-two years later, he played a cameo as Honest Abe in How
the West Was Won (1962). (Other historical characters played by Massey included Phillip II
of Spain, France's Cardinal Richelieu, German General von Hindenburg, and John Brown.)
On television, Massey hosted the 1955 syndicated anthology I Spy, and more memorably
was Dr. Gillespie in the weekly series Dr. Kildare. Right edge torn from previous binding.
Lightly soiled. Otherwise fine condition.
