Lawsuit involved theatrical agent Leo Morrison suing the actor George Brent for unpaid commissions. Morrison lost the case, May 22, 1935. This photograph is very similar to another one of George Brent captioned "'Twice Shy': Actor Brent Fights Suit," Los Angeles Times, 14 May 1935: A10. The actor George Brent looks at something out of frame while A. Ronald Button pores over a book. Both are seated at a table with three books in front of them. Text on negative sleeve: Brent, George. Actor. 1935. Handwritten on negative: L2R George Brent & A. Ronald Button. 5-13-35.
