WALTER HUSTON
Handwritten note collected in Hollywood in 1931
Autograph Note signed: "To Jimmy/With my best wishes/Walter Huston", 4½x2¾. Ink note (unknown hand) at lower edge: 5/13/31 - Hollywood, Calif. Canadian-born actor Walter Huston (1884-1950), launched his movie career with Gentlemen of the Press (1929), and spent the 1930s playing everything from a Mexican bandit to President Lincoln. In the 1938 Broadway musical comedy, Knickerbocker Holiday, Huston, in the role of a 17th century New Amsterdam Governor, achieved theatrical immortality with his poignant rendition of the show's top tune, "September Song". Throughout the 1940s, he offered a gallery of memorable screen portrayals, from the diabolical Mr. Scratch in All That Money Can Buy (1941) to George M. Cohan's father in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942). Still, it was only after removing his expensive false teeth and trading his fancy duds for a dusty hobo's outfit that the actor won an Academy Award for his portrayal of the cackling old prospector Howard in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), directed by his son, John Huston. Mounting paper at corners. Bottom corners torn. Mounting residue on verso. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
