Description
Comprising a photograph of Arthur Treacher napping while, unbeknownst to him, a humorous sign is placed on his chest reading "Exhibit 496 Cuttlefish (Extinct) Do not touch", and with his personally inscribed message and his autograph; a photo of Shirley Temple and Treacher during the filming of "Stowaway" as she applies make-up to his face; and a two-page 1937 letter signed "Arthur Treacher's Mother" in which she notes, among other things, "I understand from my son that he had to go down on his knees in homage to you before you would autograph your photograph" and "I think you are better on the screen than my little boy is - this is a great admission for me to make".
