A very young Bob and Betty Montgomery all decked out for an evening of merriment run into an MGM photographer who captures the moment for all time. Wonder what the occasion was. All we know is that they appear to be enjoying themselves. The only information on the back of the photo is a type-written "Mr. & Mrs. Robert Montgomery." MGM is indicated in the lower right corner. Whatever, it is nice to see them both smiling.
My, but yes, he is so young. The MGM PR department usually managed to add the star's current or upcoming film in a photo description. I'm wondering if they just didn't have a movie to add, like the Montgomery's are still new to L.A. Let's give it a guess ... It's early 1929, they are at a popular nightclub, waiting for a table (Bob is a nobody at this time) and hoping to be seen by someone important. At least the photographer knew he was somebody.
