The lucky lady in the center of the photo is Broadway actress Grace George who has come to Hollywood to appear in Cagney's production, Johnny Come Lately (1943). Meanwhile, Lt. Commander Henry Montgomery, Jr., home on sick leave, has come to the movie set to visit with old friend Jim and reintroduce himself to Ms. George. Bob was in several of Ms. Grace's Broadway productions in the 1920s, before he went to Hollywood. She looks bemused, perhaps having a difficult time accepting that the hyper young man she knew could have developed into such an elegantly charming Naval officer, and a real one at that.
