BICKFORD (1891-1967) debuted on Broadway in 1919 and in movies in 1929. In
1930 he played Greta Garbo's lover in Anna Christie. His inability
to get along with directors, and his mauling by a lion on the set of East of
Java (1935) diminished his chances for leading man stardom, but it he
remained highly successful in character roles, nominated three times for the
Best Supporting Actor (The Song of Bernadette, 1943; The Farmer's
Daughter, 1947; and Johnny Belinda (1948). He was a familiar face
on TV from the 1950s, playing a recurring role on The Virginian until
shortly before his death. MARGALO GILLMORE (1897-1986), the daughter of
Actors Equity founder Frank Gillmore, was primarily a stage actress, appearing
on many Broadway shows over nearly half a century. Plays included The
Barrett's of Wilpole Street (original, revival and a TV version) and
Peter Pan. After one film appearance in 1932, she returned to the screen
for several starring roles in the early 1950s, beginning with Perfect
Strangers (1950). Ink name (unknown hand) at upper left corner. Fine
condition.
