Title supplied by cataloger. Photograph caption dated May 13, 1930 reads ""Miss Moore also alleges that last December, soon after she came home from a hospital where she underwent an operation, her husband ordered her from his home in presence of friends. This picture taken in days of convalescence shows Miss Moore with her mother, Mrs. Agnes S. Morrison."" Notation written on verso reads, ""Lloyd Hughes takes it upon himself to warn Colleen Moore, popular First National luminary, against taking unnecessary risks. Miss Moore is here shown recuperating in a plaster cast from an injury to her spine sustained while on location in the Mojave Desert taking scenes for her newest starring vehicle, 'The Desert Flower'. Miss Moore's mother, Mrs. Agnes S. Morrison is seated next to her, while her leading man emphasizes his admonition with extended forefinger. Although her injury will make her virtually an invalid for several weeks to come the star takes her fate philosophically and upon occasions can even smile a little.""
