Adolphe Menjou & Verree Teasdale at play

Name/Title

Adolphe Menjou & Verree Teasdale at play

Description

Backgammon suits the suave image of actor Adolphe Menjou. In 1948 he would recall "Veree taught me to play backgammon in 1934 and has been beating me ever since." This photo was reportedly taken in 1936 after the couple appeared together in Harold Lloyd's comedy 'The Milky Way'. The couple play at a handsome backgammon table with what appears to be a 'doublock' at center in the 1931 numeral style.
