Red-nosed, gravel-voiced, bottle-hitting American comedian W.C. Fields (1880-1946)

Ziegfeld Follies from 1915 to 1921. He later excelled in such films as David Copperfield (as
Micawber), My Little Chickadee (with Mae West) and The Bank Dick. Two months after
signing this check, on February 17, 1939, Fields' circus comedy, You Can't Cheat an
Honest Man, costarring his radio adversaries Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy,
premiered in New York City. Bank cancellation holes touch name of payee, but not
signature.
