    Description

    Here's an original 8" x 10" publicity photo of the Scranton Sirens from the 1923-24 period.  They are posed -- for some reason -- with only stringed instruments.  In the back row, far left, is trombonist Russ Morgan.  In the back row, fourth from left, is guitarist Eddie Lang.  At the far right of the back row is pianist Itzy Riskin.
    Morgan has inscribed the photo in fountain pen to a fellow performer as follows:  "Best wishes to the girl with the 'natural tears.'  Russ Morgan."
    The photo has slight, uniform age toning, but is in excellent condition overall.  The contrast is is good.  The autograph is clear.  The back is clean.
    The photo has been well cared for, for about 95 years.
