Inscriptions
Verso: Upper left corner, stamped in black and graphite, "Dell Publishing Company, Inc Name: Ann Harding Recieved" Upper center, typed on affixed paper, "A new and interesting pose of Ann Harding, the blonde preferred by the entire public. Her sensational success on the stage, as the star of "The Woman Disputed", "The Trial of Mary Dugan" and other hits pales beside the furore caused by her remarkable screen triumphs from her debut in "Paris Bound" to her most recent performance in "Holiday". RKO Pathe is the company fortunate enough to have Miss Harding under contract. She will next be seen in the screen version of Pamela Wynne's novel, "A Little Flat in the Temple"." / Center, in red graphite, "Exclusive" / Lower center, in graphite, "1929" and stamped in purple, "Photograph used for publication please credit in full Ernest A. Bachrach"
