VIOLA DANA
Small sepia photograph of a young Viola Dana looking up.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Gladys
Calvert/Sincerely,/Viola Dana". Sepia, 5x7. Dana (1897-1987) starred in
Broadway in Poor Little Rich Girl (1913), then embarked on a film career.
Her first film, The Children of Eve (1915), directed by her first husband
John H. Collins, who died in the flu epidemic of 1918, portrayed the Triangle
fire of 1911. She flourished through the 1920s, starring in Frank Capra's
first film for Columbia studios (That Certain Thing, 1928). The
studios, not liking her voice, retired Dana with the advent of talkies. When
her early silent films were rediscovered in the 1970s, however, she became much
sought after as an interview for her lively accounts of early film making.
2" crack in upper right, another 1½" one in her hair. Spotted, with pinhead
sized mounting holes at top center.
