American actor (1896–1937) who, as a vaudeville impresario, assembled the act that evolved into the Three Stooges. The tumultuous relationship between Healy and his star trio, fueled largely by Healy’s heavy drinking, led to several rifts and reconciliations, until the Stooges struck out on their own for good in 1934. Healy died under mysterious circumstances in December of 1937; some say he was murdered after a drunken brawl. Vintage fountain pen signature, “Ted Healy,” on an off-white 4.5 x 6 album page, with typed collector’s notations along left edge. In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
