JEANETTE MacDONALD and GENE RAYMOND. Real-life sweethearts Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond have signed, and MacDonald has inscribed, this vintage matte finish sepia tone 10x8 portrait scene in white ink, "To
La Vina Schlenker/Sincerely/Jeanette MacDonald/Gene Raymond/in/`Smilin' Through.'" Near mint condition, with a faint bend to the upper left corner. Fans were apoplectic when MacDonald married Raymond instead of Nelson Eddy, but this happy couple were together until MacDonald's death in 1965. Scarce in jointly signed photos.
