Babe Ruth auto from an autograph book.

[BigJJ]

Helen Parrish started in movies at the age of five, getting her first part playing Babe Ruth's daughter in the silent film, Babe Comes Home in 1927.

Parrish looks about 20 or so there, mid-1940s, in line with that newspaper shot of Babe, which may have been the only shot of Ruth that the book creator could easily get a hold of mid 1940s. so that makes sense. and the display next to Ruth - and maybe acquiring autographs when Babe and Helen were together at a function - makes sense.

But I agree with the above. One of those rare cases where if I were the authenticator, I would not confirm authentic, but wouldnt say for absolute certainty it was bad. but I wouldnt be a buyer, never saw all those loops before and the B looks a good bit off. tough one. My best.
