Desirable vintage 8.75 x 12 program page for a 1947 event organized by The Greater Los Angeles Press Club, featuring a large image of “Marilyn Monroe – Official Hostess” posing with a large No. 8 billiard ball trophy, signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen, “To Louise Evans, Best wishes from Clarice's [sic] Evans roommate, Marilyn Monroe.” The lower caption text reads: “Because she was the little sweetheart from Hollywood who kept her date with the Greater Los Angeles Press Club on its opening night, one year ago; because she is charming and talented; and because we think she has the potentialities of stardom, our Official Hostess tonight is Marilyn Monroe.” The recipient, Louise Evans, was the sister of Clarice Evans, an aspiring soprano who roomed with Monroe at the Hollywood Studio Club in the late 1940s. In very good to fine condition, with a trimmed left edge, and creasing to the borders, heaviest to the upper right. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
