We were lucky enough to get this Leila Hyams autographed photo back in September 2006 from a reputable dealer in California. The back of the photo reads: "Received, signed from Hollywood. July 24th, 1934". Additionally, we learned the story behind the inscription, which reads: "To Christine Pasley, Best Wishes from Leila Hyams". As it turns out, Christine's husband worked in a hotel in the heart of Hollywood in the 1930's. He would often see the stars of the day sitting in the lobby or catch glimpses of them as they walked around. Over the years he managed to get quite a number of signatures from the stars. He met Leila in person and asked her if she would sign an autograph to his wife Christine. She happily obliged. In his older years, Mr. Pasley worked closely with the dealer in California to sell off some of his collection. At the time that we purchased this autograph, Mr. Pasley had recently passed away and the dealer was helping to sell the remainder of his memorabilia.
