Some light surface creasing to the edges and a small area of light dust staining to the upper right corner, only very slightly affecting Garland's inscription. Otherwise about VG The present photograph dates from 1934 when The Garland Sisters, who had been touring the vaudeville circuit for a number of years as The Gumm Sisters, performed in Chicago at the Oriental Theatre with George Jessel. Indeed, it was Jessel who encouraged the sisters to choose a more appealing name than Gumm after their surname had been met with laughter by audiences. There are several theories as to how the trio of siblings decided upon their new name of Garland, as adopted in the present signed photograph, although perhaps the most reliable theory was provided by Garland's daughter, Lorna Luft, who stated that her mother selected the name when Jessel announced that the trio 'looked prettier than a garland of flowers'. Shortly after the date of the present photograph, Frances was to change her name to Judy, inspired by a popular Hoagy Carmichael song, and less than a year later, by August 1935, the performing trio was broken up and Judy Garland went on to pursue a legendary career in entertainment. The lot is accompanied by a small original vintage photograph of the original recipient of the signed photograph, a fellow child actress named Dorothy Gray, and a photocopy of a newspaper article identifying Gray as one of Judy Garland's best friends.
