About This Item
Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1929. Two vintage portrait photographs of actress Catherine Dale Owen to publicize Lionel Barrymore's 1929 silent film "His Glorious Night."
Owen was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and began her acting career on Broadway. Unfortunately, her breakthrough film debut in "His Glorious Night" did much to prematurely end her career, as it was universally panned for its outdated dialogue and co-star John Gilbert's unexpectedly underwhelming speaking voice on-screen. (The production was Gilbert's sound film debut.) Owen went on to make several more films, including "The Rogue Song" (1930) and "Strictly Unconventional" (1930), until her retirement in 1935.
8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus.
