Alberta Vaughn styled by John Oshanna photographed by St. Elmo Boyce in Motion Picture Classic, June 1924

original caption:

Ornamental If Not Useful Alberta Vaughn Poses As a Poster Girl John Oshanna, a native Persian artist, selects Alberta Vaughn, F.B.O.’s “baby star,” to pose as his model for the introduction of some original and startling poster effects. The decorations, including Alberta, are done in black and white Just what one does with these—er—human posters after one gets them, or how long Alberta stands there after he’s thru painting her into the picture, the caption didn’t say, so we really dont know. Snappy page, tho
