ELEANOR POWELL. Radiant vintage 7.5 x 9.5 matte finish sepia tone chest-up portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen, "To -/'Ella,'/Welcome to our/club and thank/you for your/interest -/Sincerely,/Eleanor/Powell/7/25/41." Fine condition, with neatly trimmed borders and mounting remnants on the reverse side. Something of a Broadway sensation by 1933, Eleanor Powell was signed by MGM within two years and moved to Hollywood, where her minimal acting abilities would be eclipsed by some of the most spectacular tap dance numbers ever committed to celluloid.
