The printed signature on the card belongs to Sharon Lynn, who is listed as the president of the club. Sharon Lynn was a highly popular Hollywood starlet during the silent film era and the 1930s "talkies" (most famous for playing the devious foil to Laurel and Hardy in the 1937 classic movie Way Out West). By the late 1960s, her name was used by the photo library service as a recognizable industry figurehead to front the fan club.
