Lovely, and with a date and location!
For what it is it has everything going for it. Very, very nice.
The OP was signed November 1921, Paris.
March 28, 1920: Mary and Douglas Fairbanks marry in an intimate ceremony at the Glendale, Calif. home of Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher. They move into a converted hunting lodge in Beverly Hills owned by Fairbanks, later to be dubbed ‘Pickfair.’
June 1920: Joining fellow newlyweds Frances Marion and Fred Thomson on a European honeymoon, Mary and Doug visit cities such as London and Paris where they are swarmed by fans.
1921: Mary helps create the Motion Picture Relief Fund, a financial assistance fund for film industry employees in need. Joseph Schenck serves as president, and Mary is vice-president.
September 11, 1921: Mary makes cinematic history by portraying both a boy and his mother in Little Lord Fauntleroy, another commercially and critically successful dual role.
October 1, 1921: Mary, Doug, Charlotte, Gwynne and Doug’s brother Robert Fairbanks board the RMS Olympic [Titanic's nearly identican sister] in New York for a two-month tour of England, France, Italy and Algiers.
Now we have a story :)
Wow, good sleuthing, Eric! Always great to have solid provenance!
My pleasure. Added qualities = added interest/added value :)
Sorry I was snoozing, this is 100% authentic and very nice! I’m a huge Mary Pickford fan.
