Oscar Smith

Height: 5'4" (1929-30 Blue Books) / 5'3" (WWII draft card)

COD: bronchopneumonia and cerebral atrophy/arteriosclerosis

Oscar himself gives a birth year of 1884 on both draft cards (WWI & WWII); 1900 Census gives a birth date of "Feb 1884." 1885 is what his wife Nora gave on his death certificate.

He was previously a valet for actor Wallace Reid (Oscar's wife Nora [née LeVertt] also worked as a maid for Reid and his wife, actress Dorothy Davenport). When Reid died in 1923, he left Smith "a heritage of garments, house furnishings, a little money and a life-time job. Reid also saw to it that Oscar should have the shoe shining and cigar stand concessions on the Paramount lot as long as he might live." It was here that Smith began appearing in movies in porter and servile roles, since he was nearby.

Thanks to JESSE BRISSON's discovery of DOROTHY's Polish-born
husband (JACOB ELMAN) who became a naturalized citizen, we find that his wife's birth place is listed as Amrum, Germany. Her son BOBBY's mini bio of 1919 says that he had "French and Fresian parents". Amrum was called North Friesland and the natives spoke their own language, Friesan.
In the 1910 US Census, DOROTHY's aunt gave her native tongue as "Friesian".

update of VENITA's birth place: everything else is OK.

born: St.Marys, Pleasants County, West Virginia, United States of America.

Venita retired as a West Virginia teacher. In her long career, she taught from the primary school level through college level courses. Her family includes several generations of educators. In the late 1930's, her Mom and Dad (Joseph Vincent/Gladys Randolph) moved to CA for teaching positions. Back in WV in 1952, she married William Frederick Zinn, also a teacher. They spent their teaching careers in the Salem, WV area.

I'm pretty certain the unknown lady (first photo) in The Boy Friends' "Wild Babies" is CARROLL BORLAND. That wild eyed look is just like her gaze in "Mark of the Vampire." Carroll was Bela Lugosi's protégé. And on a personal note, back in 1985 I was at a Hollywood party (I was in my early 30s) and an older woman (with THAT gaze) saw me from across the crowded room, walked up to me and said (I kid you not) "You look like a young Bela Lugosi."

Take a look at his (JIMMY ROGERS) autograph. "Nuff said".

What is your criteria for autographs?

Most of the men who have WWI and WWII draft cards, who acted under their birth names, will have a signature.

Even CHARLIE CHAPLIN has two:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-L1S2-9MMR?i=2900&cc=1968530 WWI Draft Card.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939V-WWSW-8Q?i=1576&cc=1861144 WWII Draft Card.

I notice you have autographs which are signatures on studio contracts. I would think that "Draft Card" signatures would fall into the same category.

What are your thoughts?
