Josephine Dunn (1906-1983) was a New York City girl who at age 15 began her career "hoofin' it" in chorus lines on old Broad Way :) She was even a Ziegfeld Girl for awhile.
By the mid 1920s, she'd been "discovered" and had joined Paramount's stable of talent. She made a number of Hollywood films, skipping between a number of production companies, made the transition to the talkies, but never quite rose into the "starring role" category in top quality pictures. She does look swell in polka dots though, don't she?
Below, you can follow a link to Youtube and watch one of her movies. Its called "Murder at Dawn" from 1932. Also known as "The Death Ray," it's got dark, stormy nights, romance, mad scientists, well...it's got all that :) Don't ask who else was in it, 'cause you never heard of 'em. Just kidding! You might be a huge movie buff. It's fun anyway, one of those films that put us in mind of those pre-cable television days, when stations were showing movies like this one late on Saturdays, or sometimes Sunday mornings, so spare an hour (it's not quite 60 minutes long) and chew on some popcorn.
Wonderful card, from the late 20s or early thirties, is our guess. A Cinemagazine Edition of Paris image. Their prints are so often wonderful and we do think this one is lovely.
