    This is a cancelled check, signed by singer Rudy Vallee,
    and also by bass violinist Harry Patent.
    Rudy Vallee
    (1901-1986) was a very popular singer
    who also had a successful career as an actor in movies.
    Vallee is usually considered to be the first "teen idol"
    pop singer, and thus can be said to have had a major
    influence on popular culture.
    The check is signed by Rudy Vallee, and has his name printed on it.
    The check is dated May 23, 1935, and is for .
    The check is made out to
    Harry Patent
    , who was
    one of Rudy Vallee's musicians. He later married
    a woman named Berenice Stamilman
    (1913-1982),
    who was Vallee's business secretary in the 1930s.
    The check is signed on the back by Harry Patent.
    It is also signed on the back by someone named
    Yetta Patent
    . I do not know anything about her;
    perhaps she was Harry Patent's first wife.
