Inscriptions
Verso: Upper center, in graphite, "Days of Glory 1944" / Center, typed on paper, "RE-Adv-1 thru 32-- New Romanticists -- Toumanova and Gregory Peck make their screen debuts as lovers and co-stars in "Revenge," the Casey Robinson Production, at RKO Radio. In this story of today's Russia, ex ballerina Toumanova portrays a Russian dancer who, when lost while entertaining at the front, wanders into the hideaway of a little band of Russian guerillas and becomes not only a disturbing influence on the little family of patriots but on the heart of its leader, played by Broadway leading man Gregory Peck."
