Brigitte never struck me as one to play with dolls, and here I am thinking the dolls are a little unsure as to whether or not they really want to be there.
Brigitte appeared as the lead in Alraune in both the 1928 silent version and the 1930 sound version, two completely separate productions.
Thanks, gentlemen, but I light my own.
Is this the outfit that got Errol Flynn interested in and then marrying Lily?
This is the reverse side of the Lily Damita card. Bonus points for anyone who can translate it.

Attention, Loretta on board.
Bebe Daniels (and just about every other star in Hollywood) loves that Lux.
Lila Lee was twenty-nine in 1930, but adored Seventeen perfume.
Joan asks, "How much do I get to hawk silverware? That much? Huh, I'll do it."
A very nice portrait of Joan that I haven't seen anywhere else. The interesting thing lies in the copy. The film "Great Day" (not The Great Day) was never completed for reasons never fully understood. They tried again a few years later, but it was never made.

Some interesting images. I love looking at the adverts in the fan magazines, I've often wondered if all the actresses in Hollywood secretly despised Lux soap for it's ubiquity, and also which actress was the one out ten that didn't use it?
I'm also intrigued by the cover caption for the March 27 Motion Picture Classic "The Censors Must Be Pleased" By what?
Finally, Mary Pickford and kittens is always a good combination!
Lovely blog! I adore those pictures! You have a big collection there!
Well here’s my try for a translation. The letter was written from a daughter to mother in Greek language. The mother lived in Braila (Brăila is a danubian port of northeastern Vlachia which is in Romania. Since 1830 many Greeks lived there and contributed much the area, also strongly influenced the economic and cultural history of the city of Brăila) and probably the daughter in north Greece (Thessaloniki) because of some expressions that she uses.
“Dear Fasoulia(!) Thank you very much for your concern on finding a way for me to come to Brăila (Braila?)But until then we'll see. We all are fie here, but there is a thing that makes us unhappy and we can‘t be pleased out of anything. Do you and want to tell you what it is? It's that we are so much worried that we are here all alone and I we can’t wait to have our girls back to the house to fill it up again because it is very empty. Chrysiis wrote to me that you don’t even let them to (get out) go outside of the house to avoid getting tired. It's true! Don’t you know that I learn to embroider, I believe that girls have told you so. So, how do you entertain yourselves there? Do you go for long walks or with (…) or there is no snow like here. Until now the weather was cold and awful, but today was so nice that I couldn’t stand sitting at my desk only and wanted to go down to the boulevard. Did you notice what I just wrote? “ go to the boulevard” ! Who, me that I don’t like walking at all.
Mommy (talking about herself in 3rd person) is sending you many kisses and wants to thank you of the good care that you take of her daughters. Sweet kisses, your daughter Christina.”
Many kisses from Athens, Greece
Irene, Thanks so much for the translation. I wonder why she picked that card, but of course we will never know - I certainly approve though. :-)
Glad you like the blog.
