Commemorating the Lincoln Sesquicentennial and Cooper Union Speech, one 1-cent

1959, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. In 1931, 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). On
television, Massey hosted the 1955 syndicated anthology I Spy, and
more memorably was Dr. Gillespie in the weekly series Dr. Kildare.
