Here is a very rare early vintage original autographed application to Hollywood movie social club The Masquers, autographed by actors Antonio Moreno (1887-1967) and Frank Sheridan (1869-1943), from 1936, on behalf of Broadway producer and screenwriter George Mooser. Frank Sheridan (autograph extremely rare; last image is photo from online) was known for Enlighten Thy Daughter (1917), Conflict (1936) and One Exciting Night (1922), Black Friday, and had 87 movie credits between 1915-1940, mostly uncredited. Born Antonio Garride Monteagudo, Antonio Moreno appeared in over 150 movies between 1912 and 1959. Rugged and handsome, he starred in several successful serials during the silent era. But his popularity took off after Rudolph Valentino's star performance in 1921's The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse created a demand for Latin lovers in Hollywood; in fact, most of Moreno's starring roles were in the 1920s, including an appearance opposite Clara Bow in 1927's It. His heavy Spanish accent dimmed his star in Hollywood during the advent of talkies, but Spanish-language productions kept Moreno busy during the 1930s, and he found work in support roles after that - including the role of Emilio Figueroa in John Ford's The Searchers (1955), one of his last film appearances. Letter in response to Moreno's stapled to the front from one of the heads of The Masquers, actor and director Charles Miller accepting his resignation. Charles Miller was born in 1857 in Saginaw, Michigan, USA. He was a director and actor, known for At the Mercy of Men (1918), The Ghosts of Yesterday (1918) and Plain Jane (1916). He died on November 14, 1936 in New York City, New York, USA. Note: his stamp his often mistake as an autograph; this is the real thing. Very rare.

A serious rival to Rudolph Valentino as the smouldering 'Latin Lover' type was black-haired Spanish-born Antonio Moreno. One of the most prominent screen stars of the 1920's, he was equally adept at romance, melodrama or comedy and appeared opposite most of the legendary movie queens of the era, from the Gish sisters to Greta Garbo, to Gloria Swanson and Mary Pickford. Moreno began working life as an employee of the Northhampton Electric Light and Gas Company. He first acted on stage under the tutelage of Maude Adams, whose theatre he had initially visited in order to fix the lighting. His heyday came years later under contract to Paramount (from 1923 to 1924) and at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (in 1926). He had previously made his movie debut at Rex-Universal and then featured as a top drawing card for Vitagraph until 1921. Moreno also proudly held the sobriquet of "King of the Cliff-hangers" (usually as co-star to Pearl White) because of his prolific work in serials. After the advent of sound pictures, Moreno's career went into decline, which was largely due to his heavy Spanish accent. Nonetheless, he eventually segued into character parts and remained gainfully employed in the industry until the late 1950's. He was married from 1923 to Daisy Danziger, the daughter of an oil millionaire. Their lavish mansion, called 'Paramour', was one of the largest in Hollywood and the site of many a famous party. Daisy died ten years later in a tragic car crash near Mulholland Drive.
