SIG ARNO
A vintage 3½x5¾ candid photograph of the actor in his later years, acquired from the collection of Francis and Violet Zane. Extremely rare!
Inscribed photograph signed: "To/Francis/Good luck/[self-caricature incorporated into signature]Sig Arno", in black felt tip, B/w 3½x5¾. Sig Arno (1895-1975) was an actor of German descent with a career that spanned 40 years. Arno began his acting career appearing in films in his native Germany, transitioning from a successful career as a stage comedian. His first film appearance was in the 1920 Die rote Katze. He continued to appear in German films, primarily in comic roles, until he fled the country in 1933 with the uprising of Hitler and the Nazis. After leaving Germany, Arno would work for a time throughout Europe, until moving to America where he would mostly be cast in comedic and stereotypical European roles. One of these more notable roles is as Toto in The Palm Beach Story (1942). He also had a brief theatre career, being nominated for a Tony for his role in the Broadway play Time Remembered (1957). This photograph is from the collection of Francis and Violet Zane, Hawaii natives who moved to California in the 1920's. Francis Zane had a job at the historic Curran Theater and the San Francisco Opera House, which is where he began his massive collection, with photographs and materials ranging from the 1920's to 1960's. The location and luck of his occupation would land him smack dab in the middle of the celebrity world, allowing him to capture some of the most unique and interesting pieces of Hollywood History. Edges decoratively cut. Corners lightly worn and creased. Lightly bowed. Fine condition.
