Vintage card advertising Lifesavers. Measures approx. 2 1/2" x 3 1/4". See scans for condition. The back is the interesting thing.... Not sure if this is an actual autograph (it looks good but who knows?) - handwritten on the back is: Lucile, James & Russell Gleason - 207 W. Alpine Drive - Beverly Hills, Calif. Some history: Gleason became the wife of actor James Gleason in 1905, when the couple married in Oakland, Ca.. She took his surname as her professional and legal surname. Her only child was actor Russell Gleason (1908-1945), whose most prominent role came in the Academy Award-winning version of All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), in which he played the role of Private Mueller. On December 26, 1945, Russell Gleason was in New York City when he fell to his death out of a fourth story window in the Hotel Sutton. He had been awaiting deployment to Europe with his regiment in the hotel, which the army had commandeered to house the troops. Reports varied, some saying the fall was accidental, while others stating it was a suicide.
