American actor (1920-2000) who was most famous for being the first actor to play DC Comics character Batman on screen in the 1943 film serial Batman. Two items: a ballpoint signature and inscription, "Best wishes Roger, Lewis Wilson, The Original Batman," on an off-white 5.75 x 3.25 card; and an ALS, one page, both sides, 6 x 8, dated May 6, 1966, in part, "As I have been quite busy these years raising five children, I haven’t been active in the ‘business’ for some years. I hope though that some day I can continue in it. Theatre work has been in the past a lot more rewarding for me than motion pictures. I’ve never done very much in the picture business. But I like making pictures best. I got my start in theatre in 1938 in Weston Vermont Summer Theatre. Those were happy days full of promise. I am an old New Englander, born in Framingham Mass.” In overall fine condition.
