Uncommonly early 5x7-inch sepia-tone matte-finish portrait at age 12, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in 1938. In good condition for its age, with a few minor ink stains to the right border and light mounting remnants on the verso. Gifted child actress Marcia Mae Jones was memorable in classic films like The King of Jazz (1930), The Bishop Murder Case (1930), Night Nurse (1931), Street Scene (1931), The Champ (1931), Imitation of Life (1934), The Life of Emile Zola (1937), Heidi (1937), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938), The Little Princess (1939), Haunted House (1940), and Lady in the Death House (1944).
