Popular American entertainer (1879–1935) who cultivated an image as a wisecracking cowboy and earned worldwide renown for his mordant wit and skill at rope tricks. After a successful vaudeville career, including a stint as the one of the star attractions of the Ziegfeld Follies, Rogers made an easy transition to films and became one of the top box-office draws of the late 1920s and early 1930s. His career came to an untimely end when he died in a plane crash in Alaska along with pilot Wiley Post. Vintage ink signature, “Will Rogers,” on an off-white slip. Double matted with a nice photo of Rogers, to an overall size of 11 x 14. In fine condition, with a light vertical crease through first letter of last name of signature. R&R COA.
