Wendy,
Yeah this was also posted by Bob Fells. Lo, why does that illustration look more like John Gilbert, than it does Ronald Colman? Initially I was a bit puzzled. Knowing Jack never worked with Vilma.
Note: This is an original color insert from a newspaper, not Bobfells color.

Wendy,
Again, it's an original Lobby-card. Here is another original.

That's weird...
The colors are definitely in your palette. I know you are going for a two strip look in your work a lot of the time. I notice that Vilma is quite pale pink and there's a lot of blue here - at least that's what it looks like to me.
I still like the browns in your posts, tans like the male skin tones, the brownish red of cloth and the darker reds of lips, red purple clothing thrown in look very natural and warm to me

Wendy,
Bob Fells has posted this cropped Lobby-card of the Ronald Colman-Vilma Banky film TWO LOVERS (1928). He said that these are the original colors, but I don't know why he did not include an image of the complete card? You can't read the title of the movie.

Wendy,
Here is a tamer shot of the Peek-A Boo Mary Nolan shoot I talked about a week or two ago.

I thought that might be Marion Davies signature, but then the picture looks NOTHING like her so I convinced myself it was a mistake. I convinced myself that the first name was Mariette, or Marchette or something.
The rest I had no idea.

Hi Gagman . . .
Yes, I So Admire these Vintage ADs . . . and this One advertising 'Mulsified Cocoanut Oil Shampoo' ... How Awesome !
Can you imagine being surrounded by all these 'Beauties' with their 'tresses' having been saturated in Cocoanut Oil . . . Can't you just imagine the Heavenly Scent of Cocoanuts permeating the Room ? .. How Intoxicating and illusions of 'Far Away' Islands that must have conjured up ! . . . And to further the imagination, Maybe All these same Beauties were gathered @ the Cocoanut Grove, too ! 
Lovel these Old Ads !
Thanks Gagman

ugaarate,
Here is another ad for Mulsified. I believe it is from 1926? Don't remember for sure. Could still be '25? I know I posted this before, but it could have been as much as two or three years ago. So you may have forgotten about it, or not seen it at all. I recall that we were trying to figure out just who was all pictured in the ad. Maybe it was part of the old Hollywood Revue of 1929 thread from "General Discussions?"
"So Then Girls, Let's Get Mulsified!"

That's an Awesome AD, Gagman, of how the Beauty Stars of 'Old' kept their Hair looking so 'Sheen and Managable'. And the Oil in Coconut Shampoo would be able to give them the 'Look' they want.
But I can't read where it advertises that it is a 'Coconut' shampoo ... unless it's something you're able to read @ your end . . . But nonetheless, it's an Awesome AD . . No doubt from one of those earlier Magazines !
And Pola Negri looks absolutely 'sweet' while playing with her little kitty cat ... Meowww ! Great Picture of her and her 'Louise Brooks' hair cut. She must be a user of that Coconut Shampoo, too. 
Thanks Gagmen !
