Description

A Social Celebrity (Paramount, 1926). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). One of Louise Brooks' earliest roles - this was only her third film, now sadly lost - "A Social Celebrity" tells the story of a barber (William Powell) who inherits his fathers barbershop but wants a life among the socially affluent. In other words, he is a "social climber." Brooks plays the pretty young manicurist within the shop who eventually leaves him for a life in exciting New York. Louise Brooks was the most famous of the Jazz-Age flappers. Prior to her life in Hollywood she was a stage sensation who ran with the wealthy, the artistic and the socially glamorous figures of the 1920's. Her life has been the subject of many books. The card has slight wear to the corners and pinholes. All have been cleaned and minor touch ups applied with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine.
