WARNER BAXTER
Vintage studio photo inscribed in person to collector Saul Goodman
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To -/Saul/with heaps of/good wishes/Warner Baxter". B/w,
8x10. Collector's ink stamp on verso dates signature: July 20, 1940. Broadway actor and
silent film matinee idol Warner Baxter (1889-1951) won the 1930 Academy Award for
Best Actor in a Leading Role for playing the Cisco Kid in the 1928 film In Old Arizona.
Baxter, who had broken into silents with a bit part in 1914, would go on to appear in nearly
100 films, including Miss Brewster's Millions (1926), The Great Gatsby (1926), Ramona
(1928), The Arizona Kid (1930), Daddy Long Legs (1931), The Cisco Kid (1931), 42nd
Street (1933), Dangerously Yours (1933), The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936), Kidnapped
(1938), Return of the Cisco Kid (1939), Lady in the Dark (1944) and a series of Crime
Doctor films (appearing as Dr. Robert Ordway from 1943 to 1949). Saul Goodman
(1919-2003), a New York business man by day, pursued his love of film and theatre in the
evening, making friends with many celebrities. While other autograph seekers offered album
leaves, Goodman presented stars with snazzy photographs, a rarity then, to sign in
fountain pen. Light creases and surface marks. Otherwise, fine condition.
