Mae Murray -- Bizarre But Picturesque Effects -- July 29, 2024

Exhibitors Herald, 12-July-1924

Actress and dancer Mae Murray had been a headliner in the Ziegfeld Follies. Murray is most famous today for starring in Erich von Stroheim's The Merry Widow. I like the layout of this ad for her film Circe, the Enchantress. Her husband, Robert Z Leonard, directed.

The "Z" stands for "Zigler."

Mae Murray played a dual role, grandmother and granddaughter, in Mademoiselle Midnight. This was also directed by her husband. 

Motion Picture Magazine, August, 1924

To "Mlle Midnight" she brings the demure grace and beauty in which she is pictured above."

Photoplay, July, 1924

"This striking pose and costume illustrate the bizarre but picturesque effects which Mae Murray is so successful in obtaining." Fashion Row was a 1923 picture, also directed by Robert Z Leonard.
