I thought I'd jump out of the postcard images for a little change. You can read about Madge in my earlier post, but I decided to post an image of her from a different source. Below is Madge on the cover of the famous Photoplay magazine, the January 1929 edition. BTW, these early magazines are still available at reasonable prices and in quite good condition.
The artist is Charles Sheldon. The pastels he created for Photoplay launched his career in portrait illustrations. Later came cover art commissions for Screenland, Movie Classic and Radio Digest magazines. I think he captured Madge's allure.
Madge Bellamy- What do you think? Allure?

Stunning colors and she's got the cute look. Interesting that it is 1929 and the year of the crash. Also interesting is the "Diet...the Menance of Hollywood" inside story. Some things don't change!
