1925 Large studio photograph of Lupe Velez in one of her first studio sittings as it was announced that she was a 17 year old "Mexican Girl" who had been signed by the Hal Rach studios. Issued by the studio, this is THE earliest image of Velez we have er seen with a 1927 file stamp but the text on the back cements this as a 1925 photo! Despite a crease from editorial use, this is an important piece of Hollywood history.
