Sepia, 8x10. 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. Lightly bowed. Notch at right
edge. Edges lightly toned at verso. Ink mark (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise,
fine condition.
