Quite scarce vintage 5x7-inch sepia-tone 1940s publicity portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint pen in the early 1950s. In good condition, with a minor scuff to the lower left-hand area. Reliable, unassuming character actress Mary Treen lent levity to countless Hollywood classics like Babbitt (1934), A Night at the Ritz (1935), Babes in Arms (1939), Kitty Foyle (1940), Father Takes a Wife (1941), You Belong to Me (1941), It's a Wonderful Life (1946), The Snake Pit (1948), And Baby Makes Three (1949), Room for One More (1952), sci-fi's I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958), Girls! Girls! Girls! (1961), and Fun in Acapulco (1962).  She went on to memorable work on T.V.'s "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-1961) and "The Joey Bishop Show" (1962-1965).
