Scarce and beautiful vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait as stage icon Lillian Russell in Bowery to Broadway (1944), boldly signed and inscribed for reporter Jimmy Starr in the period of the film. In fine condition for its age, with scattered light creasing to the surface and borders. Before her untimely death of cancer at age 58, gorgeous B-movie favorite Louise Allbritton starred as Katherine Caldwell in the horror, sci-fi and fantasy classic Son of Dracula (1943), and was elsewhere memorable in the Abbott and Costello flick Who Done It? (1942), Crazy House (1943), The Egg and I (1947), and Sitting Pretty (1948).
