If not detected before, is there not a hint of that subtle seduction of Agnes Moorhead in those features of Lynn Bari?

What a lovely portrait - interesting how Gladys is the only one looking into the camera. IMdB says that Sally was married for 25 years to British actor Robert Hardy.

"Already maintaining a sanctuary for refugee children in France, Madeleine Carroll enlisted in the ranks of participants in the Bundles for Britain campaign during a visit to New York. The organization recently cabled $10,608 to London for the purchase of 5,000 garments such as the one worn by Martin Glemser, two-and-a-half-year-old London refugee shown with Miss Carroll at the Ritz Carlton Hotel." December, 1940

Joe that is a gorgeous still of two actors in their prime...It must be from the excellent George Cukor film "Girls About Town" (1931) (Paramount), a film that should be on DVD or BR and which also has an impressive performance by Lilyan Tashman. I'm going to "borrow" this pic

Be my guest, Fernando.
