Franciska Gaal from a 1930s Ross Verlag card

---

Franciska Gaal publicity still circa 1936 from a Ross Verlag card. This image has had some digital restoration. Ross Verlag produced 22 miniature photo packs between 1933 and 1938 of major film stars of the period. Franciska Gaal was a Hungarian cabaret artist who had a brief career in films. After appearing in several films made in Hungary, Germany and Austria - two of which were directed by Henry Koster - she came to Hollywood to star in Cecil B. De Mille's epic adventure film, The Buccaneer, opposite Fredric March. She followed this with the comedy The Girl Downstairs (1938) with Franchot Tone, and in 1939, co-starred with Bing Crosby in the musical Paris Honeymoon.
