AUTOGRAPH PRICES
Autograph hounds in the state of Missouri have a hard-and-fast scale of prices, which the Hollywood Reporter quotes. They may give some of the film players an uncomfortable chill. Former President Hoover's signature is quoted at 2b dollars, Professor Einstein's at a dollar, and Babe Ruth's at 25 cents, but Charles Farrel'J's is only worth the proverbial dime. Lila Lee rates five cents more. And Grace Moore onlv brings in the same as Mae Murray or "Nino Martini —25 y . cents. You can get two Marx Brothers for 20 cents the pair. Or, like those cheap packets of assorted stamps, you can have ;a mixed packet of 20 signatures for a dollar. In one sample packet, Harry Green. Rochelle Hudson, Conrad Nagel and Belle Baker were included.
