's kind of a fun one and quite a pairing of vintage autographs that are rare and highly collectible. This is for two autograph cuts; one from Norma Shearer and one from Frederic March . I put these together originally because I was going to find a lobby card of the two of them in "The Barrets of Wimpole Street" and have it framed up. That's the reason I put them together. I thought I might split them up but I thought this might be fun and also give someone the chance to own autographs from these legendary actors. So 's your chance! Good luck and thanks alot.

The story takes place for the most part within the lavish home of Edward Barrett ( Charles Laughton ) and his many grown children. Upstairs, Elizabeth ( Norma Shearer ), the oldest girl, consults with her doctor. She is recovering from an undisclosed illness and is extremely weak, but the doctor says it is possible for her to make a full recovery. She has great difficulty standing and walking, but he urges her to try.Her mind is quite lively; she writes and publishes poetry, has a cute cocker spaniel named Flush, and she likes being entertained by her siblings, especially her youngest sister, Henrietta. However, Edward is greatly displeased by the goings-on in "Ba"'s room. He wastes no opportunity to remind Elizabeth that she is very ill and perhaps dying. He seems determined to keep her confined, and not to allow her to recover fully, to the point of countermanding her doctor's orders. When she reports that a prescription for porter (beer) makes her feel worse, the doctor takes her off it and puts her on hot milk instead, but Edward forces her to continue drinking porter in a spirit of obedience to his will. His tyranny over the boys is portrayed in less detail, but it is clear that they as well as the girls are terrified of him.Meanwhile, Henrietta is interested in marrying one of the brothers' friends, Surtees Cook, who has a promising career in the military. But she tells him it is impossible. An incredibly possessive father, Barrett has forbidden any of his children - even the six boys - to marry.Robert Browning ( Fredric March ) arrives in a snowstorm, and immediately sweeps Ba off her feet. He says he's read her published poems and is in love with her already. He dismisses the idea that she is dying and tells her she must live.
