Cat. #00151531: WALTER HIERS

Scarce vintage inscribed blue fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch tan album page, acquired in-person by inveterate collector Saul Goodman around 1930. In good condition. Note that the image of the star, shown here alongside the scan of the autograph, is not included. 235-pound vaudeville and silent comedy star Walter Hiers, who occasionally dabbled in drama, was memorable in films like Seventeen (1916), The Mysterious Miss Terry (1917), What's Your Husband Doing? (1920) with Douglas MacLean, A City Sparrow (1920), James Cruze's Mrs. Temple's Telegram (1920) and Is Matrimony a Failure? (1922), The Fourteenth Man (1920), Sham (1921), Bought and Paid For (1922), Wesley Ruggles' Mr. Billings Spends His Dime (1923), Harold Lloyd's Speedy (1928) and A Holy Terror (1931). In 1922, he headlined as Rusty Snow in the now lost early horror flick The Ghost Breaker (1922), which starred Arthur Edmund Carewe as a madman manufacturing spirit apparitions to torment visitors to his Spanish castle.
