Title: Signature on a Sheet of Note Paper of American Author, Playwright and Screenwriter Frederic Arnold Kummer.
Description: Circa [1930]. [1930]. - A sheet of cream colored note paper, 8-3/8 inches high by 5-1/8 inches wide, is signed near the top edge "Frederic Arnold Kummer". The bottom edge of the paper is darkened with slight darkening to the other edges, and the bottom right corner is lightly creased. There is a very light vertical crease to the left side. Very good.

Author, playwright and screenwriter Frederic Arnold Kummer [1873-1943] began his career as a civil engineer before turning to writing full-time in 1907. For much of his writing life he devoted himself to detective fiction, beginning with "The Green God" in 1911. He also wrote fantasies, including "The Second Coming: A Vision" with Henry P. James [1916], a World War I fantasy in which Christ appeals for peace to the Kaiser, and -- probably his most popular work-- an afterlife fantasy "Ladies in Hades: A story of Hell's Smart Set" [1928]. Very good .
