EXTREMELY rare-- just the second example we have ever encountered-- vintage inscribed signature above her black and white image in a 5.75 x 8.5-inch booklet for the Earl Carroll Theater, acquired in-person by noted collector Joseph L. Rossa in 1939. In good condition, with light creasing. Heavenly singer, dancer and actress Beryl Wallace, who was a regular in the Earl Carroll Theater, made her film debut in 1934 in an uncredited role in the Paramount adaptation of Carroll's Broadway play Murder at the Vanities. She went on to appear in a number of small roles until 1937, when she co-starred alongside Tom Keene in Monogram Pictures' "B" western Romance of the Rockies. This led to another co-starring role in 1938's Air Devils. In 1948, while traveling from Los Angeles to New York City with Carroll, the two were tragically killed in the crash of United Airlines Flight 624 in Pennsylvania. Wallace was only 35 years of age.
