Billy West (born Roy B. Weissburg) was a Russian born actor from the 1910s to the 1930s. He starred opposite of Oliver Hardy in many of his silent comedies and was the best-known and most successful imitator of Charlie Chaplin's "Tramp" character.

Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: very good to fine. There are a few minor defects in the blank borders, but overall, the card is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
