CANTOR, Eddie (1892-1964)
Return to Catalogue

Singer, songwriter, comedian, actor and author. Often referred to as “ole banjo eyes.” Certainly one of America’s showbiz legends of the 20th Century. Autograph Display Piece. Consists of an important-content Typewritten Letter Signed, one page, 1954, on his personal stationery, to renowned autograph collector Kenneth Whittemore. Reads “Just what you mean by ‘generous to his public,’ I’m not sure. If you mean must he genuinely like people, like to entertain them, and let them know that he would rather be right where he is going what he is doing than anyplace else on this earth, then I would say it is even more important than talent. Talent and ability are necessary, but they alone will never make the public want to see an entertainer. Without the public, how does one entertain?” Professionally matted in a bronze-coin motif board along with a vintage sepia-tone, oversized, photograph of Cantor in front of an NBC microphone. This is one of the finest showbiz content letters we have ever offered and a handsome display piece. $235
