Sentimental Sunday: Breathless' First Portrait

Breathless' mother also had this entry in his baby book:

"Aug. 26, 1942 - Mark had his picture made at the studio.  He then had his hair cut - didn't like it much."

The photograph is a black-and-white that has been hand-colored. It's signed in pencil in the lower right corner, "Hall Gentry."  Hall Gentry Studio was located at 423 Peoples Street, according to the 1941 Corpus Christi, Texas, City Directory, page 260.
