Description
Los Angeles journalist Alyce Key photographed reclining on a bed in a dressing gown.
All information concerning the content and description of the image was provided by Walter Gordon.
Walter L. Gordon, Jr.: "Alyce Key is compared to Helen Forrest. They both dress alike, they look alike, their features are alike, and they pose alike. It's very hard for most people when they look at the two photographs to not be confused as to which one this is. This apparently is Alyce Key. I get a close-up view here, and the features and facial lines make it more likely this is Alyce Key."
Handwritten inscription: Alice Keys [i.e. Alyce Key] in a seductive pose."
