DOUGLASS MONTGOMERY. Photograph signed: "Thanks!/Douglass
Montgomery". B/w, 3½x5½. An actor whose career might have been hampered by
a succession of screen names, Douglass Montgomery (1907-1966) was born
Robert Douglass Montgomery. On stage in his teens, MGM scouts nabbed him and
changed his name to Kent Douglass for films in the 1930s. A perfectly
dashing, romantic presence similar to Leslie Howard, the fair-haired young
man played second leads opposite some of MGM's powerhouse ladies,
including Joan Crawford in Paid (1930) and Katharine Hepburn in Little
Women (1933). By this time his moniker had been changed again to Douglass
Montgomery; he was loaned out to other studios for The Mystery of Edwin
Drood (1935) and Harmony Lane (1936), in which he portrayed composer
Stephen Foster, and Bob Hope's comedy classic The Cat and the Canary
(1939). By WWII, his career had waned and he enlisted with the Canadian
infantry. He later starred in a few British films. Fine
condition.
