The Young and Beautiful Bob Montgomery

Snarfed up this photo of a soon to be 27-year-old Bob not long ago.  Mr. Hurrell did himself proud in this photo shoot.  Those eyes ... something else.  The photo was taken for Man in Possession (1931). 

I knew when I purchased it that it was a sister photo to "Bob with Straw Hat."  Bob hasn't moved, just the hat added. 

Then I realized this fan card was from the same shoot.  Almost the same pose, just a tad to one side.  And there's a hint of a smile.  Seems to look younger. 

I kept looking and lastly found this clipping.  Love the smile, from both the mouth and the eyes.  He probably realized the photo shoot was finally over.
