Autograph Note Signed: "Hello Hildegarde 'you are something',
Walter Huston", 8½x¾ cut from letter.Canadian-born actor Walter
Huston (1884-1950), born Walter Houghston, 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. Uneven edges. Writing on verso (unknown hand) lightly shows through.
Otherwise, fine condition.
