Original Description:
This is an antique glamorous original great photo of lovely actress Alla Nazimova.  The photographer was Arthur F. Rice.  The photo was created in the 1920s making this photo about 100 years old.

In addition, I have included 2 photos of Hugh Pickett from whom this photograph originally came from.  Note: a copy of the Pickett photos are not included in the auction.  Just shown for entertainment purposes and to show who the man himself was.  Please see inf...ormation on Pickett below.
This is a used photograph, matte paper with a thick black board.  US Museum information along with press information and stamps are on back.
A fine photo to display in a photo album or by matting and framing.  See photos and Item Specifics above.  This is a real press photo from a collection we are selling from the famed Hugh Pickett Memorabilia Collection (See more on him below). Please feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking and good luck. 
The late Hugh Pickett liked to collect stuff. Antiques, art, movie posters, autographed photos of Hollywood stars — his Kerrisdale home was brimming with all sorts of treasures.Nine years after Pickett’s death, it all went up for auction.  On Aug. 26, 1915, Love’s Auction in Richmond sold off  the Hugh Pickett estate. Thousands of pieces went up for grabs, reflecting the diverse tastes of the impresario who was Vancouver’s top promoter from the 1940s until the 1980s.He was born Hugh Frank Digby Pickett was born on April 11, 1913 in Vancouver, British Columbia and he went on to be a Canadian impresario who made major contributions to Vancouver’s arts and entertainment scene.  He started out as a usher and went on to become a manager and press agent with Theatre Under the Stars and brought many entertainers to town from  around the world.  It is hard to overestimate Hugh Pickett’s impact on Vancouver. Pickett led the fight to save the Orpheum Theatre when it was threatened with demolition in the 1970s. He talked the manager at the Hotel Georgia into letting Nat King Cole stay there in the 1950s, breaking the color barrier at the big downtown hotels. He was the promoter behind the Rolling Stones show that turned into a riot in 1972.As far as Dietrich goes, he was Marlene Dietrich's business manager for 12 years and they remained friends for even longer.According to Gordon Boyd, who was Pickett’s partner for 30 years, he had every photo of Dietrich ever printed and many other unique items from the great lady of cinema.Mary Pickford, Elvis Presley, Bette Davis, Mae West, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Tyrone Power, Lillian Gish, Katharine Hepburn, Phyllis Diller, Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Margot Fonteyn, Mischa Baryshnikov, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Igor Stravinsky, Arthur Rubenstein, Maria Callas, Leonard Bernstein — these are only a few of the people Pickett knew or at least met and had memorabilia from.In 1986, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada in recognition for his involvement with "Vancouver's famed Theatre Under The Stars".Pickett died on Feb. 13, 2006, at the age of 92.
