Selling is a 8" X 10" Vintage Original glossy photo with borders of DOLORES COSTELLO from 1925, the year that she and her sister, HELENE signed a contract with WARNER BROTHERS, thus marking the very beginning of their film careers as an adult.  DOLORES is 22 years old in this photo and this photo was taken before she had any major film role.   It is extremely RARE to find an earlier photo of DOLORES COSTELLO.  There is the name of DOLORES COSTELLO printed in a typed snipe on the bottom front of the photo (See Scan).

 On the back of the photo there is a typed snipe that tells us that DOLORES and HELENE COSTELLO have just signed a WARNER BROTHERS contract and that they are the daughters of the famed actor, MAURICE COSTELLO.  There are 2 date stamps on the back in purple ink from Warner Bros dated September 23, 1925 and another one dated May 12, 1925.   On the back, there are some numbers lightly penciled in for filing purposes of the photo made long ago.  (See Scan)

Photo was certainly used in the past for editorial purposes, therefore, this photo was a working photo and the price has been adjusted lower, as a result.  However, the photo is still an important photo for any collector of DOLORES COSTELLO due to being so early in her career, its rarity, and historical significance.

Photo is in Good Condition with a few light creases in the corners.  There is one teeny pin hole each near the upper 2 corners of photo.  There are editorial markings in pencil and some black felt pen markings on and around the body of Costello.  In the lower background of photo there is very lightly printed three words that are editorial instructions.  Great Resolution and Focus.

This is a VINTAGE ORIGINAL Photo and NOT a Reproduction Restrike.
