Family Treasures

by Cindra
(Palm Springs,Ca)

I have a program from the 1941 premiere of A Yank in the RAF signed in pencil by Linda Darnell, Jane Withers, Elizabeth Patterson, Louise Cushing, Jane Darwell, Pat O Brien, Henry Fonda and Gary Cooper. This was my grandmother's (Tyrone Powers aunt). She personally got the signatures.

My cousin Romina (Tyrone's daughter) will confirm the family connection.

I also have the sheet music to 'Moonlight in Vermont' signed by Frank Sinatra. He inscribed it "What a Wonderful Song Frank Sinatra 1987." Mr Sinatra personally signed this for me. My grandfather wrote the music to Moonlight in Vermont.

I would love to know the value of these items.

You have some valuable autographs. Here are the values for the signatures that you have on the program:

Linda Darnell - $50
Jane Withers - $10
Elizabeth Patterson - $25
Jane Darwell - $25
Gary Cooper - $200

Jane Withers was a child star, but many people today are going to remember her from her commercials as "Josephine the Plumber."

I Love Lucy fans will know Elizabeth Patterson as. Mrs Trumbull, one of Little Ricky's babysitters.

Jane Darwell was Ma Joad in the movie The Grapes of Wrath.

Linda Darnell was a big star in the 1940s and 1950s. She starred in several movies with Tyrone Power.

Louise Cushing, I don't know.

A movie memorabilia collector might pay more than the sum of the total of those autographs.

The Sinatra signed sheet music is worth more than $500, maybe a good bit more depending on how I nice the autograph is.
