The Three Stooges: Rare Signed Still by "Moe Larry Curly" to a Very Young Ann Miller While Making "Time Out for Rhythm" in 1941. Rare inscribed and signed 8 x 10" black & white still from "Little Sew and Sews" (1939), a Columbia Pictures comedy, which starred the Three Stooges, Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard. The Three Stooges made several films after and in late 1940 began filming "Time Out For Rhythm" which featured a very young Ann Miller (allegedly 18, likely younger) who showcases her dancing talent in the film's ending musical number. This still was gifted to Ann Miller with each of the Three Stooges individually signing. Moe Howard then inscribed "To Ann, Say dear, who going to stop you. We're not, 3 Stooges Good Luck". Obviously Ann Miller went on to enjoy a long career at MGM, stage and television.

Authentic, signed Three Stooges photos are extremely scarce to find given the generation of fans they enjoyed. Now with on-line memes and gifs, their appeal has skyrocketed in the last 20 years approaching the Marx Brothers and the demand is considerable. Condition is excellent, the photo well cared for in Miller's possession. There is evidence of handling with very light rippling and minor corner creasing. Moe, at time of signing smeared his "E" which was always a problem with fountain pen ink. But his handwriting is excellent in the inscription. A very desirable piece. Estimated Value $2,500 - 5,000

William S. Hart: Rare Signed 8 x 10" Photo plus Three Vintage Original Stills Hollywood's First Western Cowboy Star and a King of Silent Films (1864-1946) Originally a stage actor of some repute, he starred in the landmark original production on stage of Ben-Hur as well as productions of Shakespeare. In 1914 he entered into film and scored a hit in a film called THE BARGAIN. But he had developed a love for the West, acquired a revolver owned by Billy The Kid and was friends with Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp. So with legendary producer Thomas Ince he started shooting Westerns at age 44 with a keen eye for accuracy in sets and costumes and catapulted to being the highest box-office draw at the time. Presently his home is a museum and available to visitors as part of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County housing a trove of his personal effects, props and art.

Rare signed 8 x 10" B&W photo and one of the best images of Hart we have seen. Condition is excellent on the obverse, but the reverse has evidence of being mounted on card stock, which does not impact the image or signature "Sincerely Yours William S. Hart" executed in a bluish purple fountain pen ink. Three excellent stills accompany this lot, productions unknown. Estimated Value $500 - 900
