Signed on 1st page "Colleen Moore" Don't expect a comprehensive overview of Hollywood cinema in its exuberant adolescence; this is rather a very enjoyable series of excursions into this fascinating period of cinema history in the company of a personable and level-headed star who was there at that time. Strangely for such a highly paid star, Colleen Moore has largely been neglected by Hollywood historians; largely because many of her films were allowed to deteriorate and for years there was relatively little hard evidence of her talents to go on. But for some careful restoration of what little survived, she might now be only remembered for the marvellous doll's house she designed [Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois], giving Gary Cooper his first cinema opportunity, and re-modelling herself as a bona fide financial expert, becoming a partner of Merrill Lynch. Colleen Moore was one of the biggest box office stars of the 1920s and the actress who defined the iconic Jazz Age "flapper" persona with her signature bobbed hair and energetic screen presence With Flaming Youth (1923), Painted People (1924) and The Perfect Flapper (1924) Also listed: Mamie Van Doren SIGNED, Norma Shearer, Tony Curtis SIGNED, Norma & Constance Talmadge, Montgo
