Thelma Todd With Joe E. Brown

This is a publicity picture for SON OF A SAILOR, in which Thelma Todd played a foreign spy and wore a brunette wig.

"Vitaphone" referred originally to a sound on disc process, but the name continued to be used by Warner Brothers after the system was replaced by sound on film. The name First National likewise continued to be used after that studio had merged with Warner Brothers. The old First National logo with the ring around the country may be seen at the bottom of this picture.
