Prominent film composer (1901–1985) who worked on music for Gone With the Wind 1939, Dracula 1931, Hunchback of Notre Dame 1923, The Invisible Man 1933, The Black Cat 1934, Dracula's Daughter 1936, The Mummy's Tomb 1942, Creature Walks Among Us 1956, and Mole People 1956. DS, one page, 8.5 x 13, February 23, 1945. Document filled out in type with information about Roemheld’s salary, “to be used in Governmental Report under Wage and Salary Stabilization Laws,” indicating that he was paid $4500 for his assignment as “Composer for our photoplay, ‘Wonder Man,’” had a salary of $29,000 for the year of 1942, and $32,000 per year in 1943 in his position as “Composer and Conductor” for “Warner Bros. & Los Angeles Civic Light Opera.” In very good condition, with creasing to the lower right (slightly affecting signature), light scattered soiling, and various small tears to edge. Roemheld is exceedingly rare in any format—this is the first autographed material of the composer that we have ever seen or offered—made especially important since Dracula was the first Universal talkie of the Golden Age of Horror.
