The visit by Lady Hawarden
‘In this photograph as in Ph 380-1947 (image below) her two eldest daughters of Lady Hawarden reaffirm their bond with each other and with their mother. Isabella Grace, in an evening dress, her hair elaborately arranged, with her back to the camera perhaps in order to show the intricacies of her dress and hair to full advantage, stands at the French window to the terrace. Clementina, poised like a mirror before her sister, her expression perhaps reflecting that on Isabella Grace’s face, incongruously wears a riding habit and appears dishevelled. Their rapport is visually strengthened by the lines of the window, which direct our eyes to their arms, gracefully linked.’

Max Munn Autrey :: Pre-code actress Fifi D’Orsay. Fifi is an exciting jazz age cavewoman in this costumed flapper keybook still. Late 1920’s
The press snipe reads: “THE STONE AGE WOMAN may have been a sweet mamma but there can be no doubt about her being a wild one. Here she is, loaded for bear – or should it read ‘bare.’ So far as fashion goes, she’s dressed in skins – we’re not referring to her own! The skirt isn’t much shorter than the skirts one saw until recently, and while the necklace is made of shell it was probably the smartest thing ever shown on Neanderthal City’s ‘Rue de la Paix’ – or Pay, as the stone age husband more likely spelled it. – Posed by Fifi Dorsay, Fox star.”
