Charles Rogers (often billed as either Charles 'Buddy' Rogers or Buddy Rogers) was a major lead actor from the 1920s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Wings, My Best Girl, and So's Your Old Man. He is well remembered for having married Mary Pickford after she was divorced from Douglas Fairbanks (he was 11 years younger than she was, and people thought their marriage would not last, but they remained married for 42 years until her death in 1979). He lived another 20 years after that. Since Pickford was nicknamed "America's Sweetheart", he was sometimes referred to as "America's Boyfriend" AND Nancy Carroll (born Ann Veronica LaHiff in New York City) was an actress from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of her movies include: Devil's Holiday (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Broken Lullaby, There Goes My Heart, Hot Saturday, Scarlet Dawn, and The Kiss Before the Mirror

Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Charles Buddy Rogers AND Nancy Carroll! Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a reputable dealer, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to be authentic. Also note that in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany, it became a common practice to pass out 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" "Ross postcards" to the people who attended a movie. These were postcards that people could send through the mail (each had a picture of one of the movie's stars on it, and standard postcard markings on the other side). But these were also sent to theaters where the stars would make personal appearances, and members of the audience would get the stars to autograph them if they could, but of course, the cards themselves did not come autographed! Sometimes the theaters would use a special "Das Programm Von Heute" that had a blank area on the cover, where they would cut four slits in the upper left and have the "Ross postcards" inserted into that area, so that the audience members would get the program and the card together! We imagine that theaters hoped that audience members would mail the postcards after they saw the movie to friends, telling them how much they enjoyed it, thus creating advertising for the movie. These are often called "Ross autograph cards" by collectors, because moviegoers sometimes obtained autographs on them. Ross postcards are quite collectible, signed or unsigned, but of course, they are worth far more signed. They are often quite rare, because most German paper of all kinds from before World War II was destroyed during the war, due to the massive paper shortages there at that time.
