Brigitte Helm, Actress in Metropolis. Autograph on Photo. CoA - col7927
Brigitte Helm was catapulted to stardom when she was selected to play the dual role of working girl Maria and her evil robot double in Fritz Lang's futuristic spectacular Metropolis (1926). Reportedly, her first film role almost became her last due to Lang's insistence upon “ realism “ during a burning-at-the-stake scene. Happily, Helm survived to become one of Germany's top screen attractions, extending her popularity to British and French productions: Brigitte Helm, Actress in Metropolis. Autograph on Photo.

Zeppo Marx signed Check. 1972 - col7926
Herbert, “ Zeppo “ was the youngest of the Marx brothers. After doing 5 movies - The Cocoanuts, Monkey Business and Animal Crackers, Horse Feathers and Duck Soup, Zeppo decided that he did not fit in as a straight man in a comedy troupe. He left the group to start a talent management company in Hollywood, and was later joined by Gummo to help run it.
