Signed 1945 Playbill from his Stage Debut.
Very rare signed original playbill from Brando's Broadway debut in "I Remember Mama." 56 pp. Boldly signed "Marlon Brando" later in life in bold black ink on the first cast list page (on which he is not listed!). Light staining along upper edges not affecting the signed page, slight surface loss on back cover, else fine. The play by John Van Druten was first presented by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II on Broadway in a production which opened on October 19, 1944 at the Music Box Theatre and ran for 713 performances. The cast included Mady Christians, Oscar Homolka, Joan Tetzel and the 20-year-old Marlon Brando, making his Broadway debut as Nels, a relatively minor role.
