Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer?, Hollywood, CA, 1943

Original black-and-white publicity photograph showing a film still from the movie, Rationing (1944). The characters of Dorothy Tuttle (played by Dorothy Morris) and Lance Barton (played by Tommy Batten) are shown mid-kiss in a tender embrace. 8" x 10." Printed description on back. Purple stamp with numbers and a green stamp reading, "Approved, Advertising Advisory Council, Nov 24 1943, Hollywood," also on back. Photo is virtually pristine and intact except for slightly bumped corners and slight surface wear. A Near Fine copy. Rationing (1944) is a comedy about two adversaries, a meat butcher named Ben Barton (Wallace Beery) and a postmistress named Iris Tuttle (played by Marjorie Main) who is in charge of giving out ration stamps during World War II. Ben tries to get gas coupons from Iris, but she refuses. The movie centers upon their conflict and the different ways they try to sabotage one another. Amid all this, Ben's son, Lance, and Iris's daughter, Dorothy are in love with each other and wish to marry. Description on back: "Fur-Lough....Sure enough and in the flesh, Dorothy's man comes marching home for a few hours or a few days - at the moment it doesn't seem to matter much. The lucky lad is Tommy Batten who shares the romantic interest with Dorothy in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's topical comedy, 'Rationing,' which stars Wallace Beery. Both are Hollywood High school finds. Dorothy's previous films include 'The Human Comedy' and 'Cry "Havoc"' in which the brown-haired actress enacted the dramatic role of a shell-shocked nurse on Bataan.". Photographic Image.
