black and white photo of Lee in black dress glancing sideways and holding a large hat to her chest; she looks to be little more than 20 or so years old; hair is in a chin-length bob

photo of lee in long, layered white dress, sitting atop a piano and strumming her guitar; her eyes are cast up and to the side, as if she is staring wistfully into space; her hair is in a shoulder-length bob; note on back of photo credits Bob Downey at the piano, but the shot is too tight to see the piano, let alone Mr. Downey; probably taken 1925-1927

 photo of theatre entrance featuring Lee Morse display; to the left of the photo, we see an easel displaying a collection of Lee photos, some of which are featured on this site; to the right of the shot, we see a large, stand up reproduction of a "Perfect" record by Lee Morse and her Blue Grass Boys; a lone gentleman stands facing the ticket window,

This is a copy of a sepia-toned protrait of Lee, probably from the late 1920s; she is wearing a white dress and glancing at the camera out of the corners of her eyes

This is a portrait of Lee wearing a black drape and sporting a short bob; she is looking to the right and smiling

A full shot of Lee, around 1929, wearing her hair pulled back behind her ears and wearing a light-colored off the should gown; she has a large bead bracelet on her left wrist and a large, dark-colored flower thing at her right arm; her expression is serious

A publicity still from the "Collegiate" scene in Lee's film short "A Million Me's"; Lee is leaning against an old phonograph in what appears to be the rec area of a college dorm; she wears a short skirt and vest and has her hair pulled back and topped with a cap

A slightly older Lee with a glamourous upswept hairdo and long eyelashes; she gazes up and away dreamily; Lee wears a dark lace dress and a bow in her hair

A mature and serious Lee from the 1940s - still lovely as ever, gazes to the right amid shadows and a dark backdrop
