Comprising a silver gelatin matte finish 11 x 14 in. photograph of Myrna Loy with "Kindly credit–Photo by / Clarence Sinclair Bull" stamped on the reverse, inscribed on the front: "To Cora Sue / Hoping you, someday, / ride a bicycle in Europe / and think of me / Myrna Loy." The inscription refers to MGM's prohibiting Collins to ride a bike (they didn't want their child star to be injured and slow down filming) and Loy regaling Collins with tales of a bike trip she had taken through Europe. Together with a silver gelatin matte finish 8 x 10 in. photograph of William Powell with "Please credit / Russell Ball / M.G.M." stamped on the reverse, inscribed on the front: "To Cora Sue with my / love–William Powell." Cora Sue Collins plays the daughter of Loy and Powell in MGM's Evelyn Prentice (1934). Her scenes with them individually and together exhibit a naturalness not often seen in child actors at the time and is evidence of their off-screen adoration of each other. Collins remembers Powell as treating her "like a daughter." Provenance: Cora Sue Collins Nace. Largest: 11 x 14 in.
