Mary Green Dolls Information needed for Museum.

Mary Green Doll's Information needed for Museum.

I know a lot about a multitude of things..BUT..when it comes to Doll's, ZERO.
The Museum I run was donated a number of 1930's vintage doll's some with tags. All by a Mary Green. Someone said she was a costume designer for the movies in the 30's. I need as much information as I can get on these. They are quite remarkable in appearance about ten to 15 inches in size. II would guess they are quite rare and perhaps valuable.... HELP!

Katharine Cornell was in The Barrett's of Wimpole St. on the stage, not in a movie. It pre-dates the movie by 3 years. The others may be theatre related as well.

An interesting thought. How did these Doll's get from New York to Louisiana? I have no record of their travels....A mystery unfolds..
Gotta love this history thing!
