The signatures include Monte Montague (1889 - 1959), a seasoned Western actor who appeared in more than 100 films, signing a contract agree…ing to appear in the film "The Shadow Of The Eagle," January 26, 1932, to play the part of Calhoun, at the rate of $75.00 per week. Also included is John Trent (1906 - 1966), a commercial pilot turned actor. He really flew planes in the pictures he was in, but was never comfortable acting. This contract arranges for Trent to appear in the film "The Whispering Shadow," December 4, 1932, at the rate of $75.00 per week. Mascot finally figured out he couldn't act, so they cancelled the film! Both items are in very good condition.
