New to the Forums. Vaudeville Autographs

[jlzinck]

Hello:

I have been a sports and Boston autograph collector for years and recently came across an autograph book. It belonged to my mother in laws mother. She was a huge vaudeville and stage fan going back to the 20s and 30's.

Some of the names she has I know:
Bing Crosby, Bessie Love, Rudy Valley, The tin Man from Oz- Jack Haley, Kate smith and many more.

She has little program photos next to most of the autographs.

Just wondering if anyone here has any insight on autographs of this era.

Thanks.

I haven't recieved any autos from that period of time but that sounds cool. Autos from the 20's and 30's, that's sweet! Great job! Those could be worth a lot of money! {thumb2}
