Missouri: Hixon-Connelly Studio, 1916. Photograph. Good. 8" x 10" Platinum/Palladium process photographic print of Kate Morgan, signed Hixon-Connelly in white. A stunning photograph with rich, deep tones and exceptionally high brights. The Hixon-Connelly partnership yielded a bevy of Vaudeville and theatre subjects. Highlights included Valeska Suratt for Fox and Ruth St. Denis in Theatre Magazine. At one time with four branch studios as well as primary in Kansas City. Known for dark, half shaded, intense prints, keen on dramatic negative manipulation yielding profound shadow expression and drama, in an era of still repose popularized in portraiture. 'Kate Morgan with Wallis Clark' written in pencil to rear, uncredited actors in Frank Capras It Happened One Night. Small loss, lower left corner.
