Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 154

Last week, I posted one of the photos initially submitted for the interior of the book, but was ultimately swapped out for one of the recently acquired Ann-D personal photos. This is another one of those sacrificed images which is a behind-the-scenes shot from the Warner Bros. feature, Sweet Music.

It was included in a chapter titled “Warner Workhorse” which discusses the mountain of movies Ann made during a two year period starting in September 1933. I love photos like these, and this one is especially cool because it shows a few members of the cast (Rudy Vallee, Phillip Reed, Alice White), along with director Alfred Green. This was a tough one to let go, but since I have had this photo posted on the Sweet Music page of this site for years, it’s not unknown and was worth sacrificing for one of the Ann’s personal snapshots.
