photograph, shown wearing a suit and hat in front of a bustling city background,
acquired from the collection of Francis and Violet Zane
Photograph signed: "Brian Aherne", in blue ink, B/w 3½x5¾.
British actor Brian Aherne (1902-1986) made his first U.S.
appearance on the Broadway stage in The Barrets of Wimpole Street (1931).
He starred opposite such leading ladies as Marlene Dietrich, Helen Hayes,
Rosalind Russell and Merle Oberon and received an Oscar nomination for
his portrayal of doomed Emperor Maximillian in Juarez (1939). He
played The Saint Simon Templar on radio in the 1940s. Aherne was married
to actress Joan Fontaine from 1939 to 1945. This photograph is from the
collection of Francis and Violet Zane, Hawaii natives who moved to
California in the 1920's. Francis Zane had a job at the historic Curran
Theater and the San Francisco Opera House, which is where he began his massive
collection, with photographs and materials ranging from the 1920's to
1960's. The location and luck of his occupation would land him smack dab in
the middle of the celebrity world, allowing him to capture some of the most
unique and interesting pieces of Hollywood History. Corners slightly worn. Top
left corner slightly creased. Signature slightly faded, but legible. Fine
condition.
