Item description from seller

James Whale, sketched and signed two costume drawings for actors playing Frederick Douglass and Susan, 4to, 1920. He wrote notes on the Frederick Douglas character sketch: "'Wallace Evennett as 'Frederic[sic] Douglass" and below, "It is all right." Between the notes, Whale signed and dated, "J. Whale 1920." The second sketch from the same production identifies the character as "Susan" with dialogue below. "Now look 'ere you Mr. Douglass!!!" And again between the notes he has signed and dated, "J. Whale 1920." The sketches are rendered in artists pencil and water color and measure 8 x 10 inches. Wallace Evennett (1887-1973) was a British actor. Before Whale directed horror films, notably "Frankenstein," the "Invisible Man," and "Bride of Frankenstein," he designed sets and costumes for the theater. He is particularly recognized for the theatrical elements in his horror classics. Material signed by Whale is rare in any form. Condition: each page is sunned but otherwise in fine condition.
