DOUGLASS MONTGOMERY. Photograph signed: "Sincere
Greetings/Douglass Montgomery". Sepia with yellow hue, 7½x9½. 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.
