Title: Inscribed Photograph Signed
Description: This popular actress of the 1930s ("Fast Workers," "Cocktail Hour," "Hold Your Man," "The White Parade," etc.) also made television appearances (such as the 1965 series "The Nurses") throughout the '50s and '60s. IPS, 11" X 14", n.p. n.d. [ca. mid-1930s]. Near fine. A superb sepia-tone head-and-shoulders glamour pose of a young and coy-looking Kirkland, inscribed in black fountain pen at lower right "For: Mrs. Wright / Affectionately / Muriel." "Mrs. Wright" was the wife of novelist Harold Bell Wright (1872-1944), author of such popular moralizing fiction as "The Shepherd of the Hills" and "The Winning of Barbara Worth." Also signed lightly at lower left by the photographer, "D'Gaggeri / Wilshire Blvd." A striking and lovely portrait of this starlet, in a size seldom seen. .
