Three original publicity photographs of Judith Barrett, circa 1937

Universal City: Universal Pictures, Circa 1937. Three vintage publicity photographs of Judith Barrett, two double weight, one of which has narrow margins, circa 1937. All three photographs with two stamps on the versos, one crediting photographer Ray Jones and one for actress Barrett. One photograph with a mimeo snipe on the verso.

From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.

Billed as "Nancy Dover" in her early films, Judith Barrett starred in over 30 films between 1928 and 1940 and was leading lady of B-pictures during the 1930s. She is best known for her work in the 1931 pre-Code Western "Cimarron," the 1940 musical "Road to Singapore," and her final film role in the 1940 comedy "Those Were the Days."

7.75 x 9.75 to 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with one photograph with print preparation touch-ups on the recto.
