Description

Scarce handwritten letter from Frankenstein’s hermit

Character actor (1877–1936) who portrayed the kindly blind hermit in The Bride of Frankenstein. Uncommon ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, embossed The Players letterhead, August 27, 1928. Letter to an official of the Green Room Club. In part: “I have just received a request from the committee of the B. K. Huggins Testimonial for a subscription. I had a note from Aubrey Smith last spring…and I sent him the equivalent of £2-2-0…possibly my name has been overlooked & you might be kind enough to let me know if my sub. has reached you.” In fine condition, with a few light brushes and foxing to first page. Scarce in any form, this is only the second Heggie letter we have seen. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
