Set Of FASCINATING YOUTH Cards

FASCINATING YOUTH was a movie the Paramount acting school graduates made in 1926. Usually it is said to have been Thelma Todd's first movie, although some accounts have stated that she previously had appeared in two movies that were made in Massachusetts. Here is a set of movie star cards with photos of Thelma Todd, Buddy Rogers, Iris Gray, Walter Gross, and Claud Buchanan. The back of each card identifies them as Paramount Junior Stars of 1926 and mentions a contest to win a screen test. There seem to have been many such contests at the time and they didn't generally lead anywhere.

This may be the first time Thelma Todd appeared on a card...

This is a set of five rare "Paramount Junior Stars of 1926" cards featuring Thelma Todd, Charles "Buddy" Rogers,  Iris Gray, Walter Goss, and Claud Buchanan. The cards advertise the lost film "Facinating Youth" which was playing at the "Embassy Theater". They measures 3 1/2" X 5 1/2".

Back to March 1926 we go …..

 

To apply lip rouge so that it will not show rough edges, shape the mouth lightly with the tip of your finger.

 

 

 

 

Never use a soft, thick pencil. Crudely applied lip rouge is worse than none at all.

 

 

 

The correct way to brush your hair: – Grasp the hair firmly and apply the lower edge of the brush, turning it gradually on the downward stroke.

 

 

 

The ‘incorrect way’ to brush your hair: – Never brush this way. Begin the downward stroke at the front or top of the head.

 

 

 

The wrong way to hold a brush: – Never apply the brush flat to the hair. The brush simply slides over the surface and does not reach the hair deep down beneath.

 

 

The correct way to brush: – If your hair is long, don’t fail to brush ‘upward’ those stray locks at the back of the neck.




I've seen some of these pictures before, but I don't remember all of them.

Note that Thelma Todd was blonde at the time that these photos were taken. Photographers know that blonde hair tends to photograph darker than it looks. Her hair was later lightened in Hollywood.
