Bessie Gallas was the wife of Leo F. Forbstein, film composer and conductor in movie studios in the early days of Hollywood until his death in 1948.
Bessie Gallas and Leo Forbstein were married in Jackson County, Missouri (it looks like Kansas City on the license, written as "KC") on Oct 15, 1914.
Bessie's signature looks more like "Gallas" on the marriage license, though it was sometimes seen as "Gallos" in other records. But she seems to have signed the license so it must be correct.
Leo and Bessie Forbstein had one daughter, Harriett Dellar whose link can be found on Leo's memorial.
More on Bessie's husband Leo which is not on his memorial:
Leo's birth record was found in the St. Louis Registry of Births (on Ancestry). His parents were Joseph and Tillie (Taube Tand) Forbstein. Interestingly, Leo's name at birth was Louis, though he had a younger brother who was also given the same name (that was Lou Forbes who worked at RKO). Also Leo was not born when he thought he was (Oct 16, 1892). He was actually born almost two weeks later, on Oct 27, 1892. His record is on page 69 of the St. Louis Birth Registry. The attendant at his birth was Rubenstein.
