Portrait of Ilona Massey. An inscription on the back of photograph: When love beckons to you follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

This is a portrait of actress Ilona Massey. Original caption: To sing with Eddy...Ilona Massey, European singing star, will be Nelson Eddy's next singing partner. The lovely blonde star from Budapest will team with Eddy in "Balalaika" at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Miss Massey made a brief debut in "Rosalie" with Eddy and then began a year and a half of grooming to perfect her English and acting before making her major debut in a co-starring role. Her training is similar to Eddy's who waited almost two years before he went into "Naughty Marietta" and then became a star overnight.
