# "The French Doll" - Judge Magazine Page This page promotes Arthur Little's theatrical production "The French Doll," featuring actress Irene Bordoni in the title role. The central illustration shows an elegantly dressed woman in fashionable 1920s attire—including a decorative hat, fur stole, and beaded handbag—embodying the glamorous "French" aesthetic that would have appealed to American audiences. The surrounding smaller portraits identify cast members (Will Deming, Edward Durand, Thurston Hall, and Laura Lussier), suggesting this is promotional material rather than political satire. The piece reflects the era's fascination with Continental sophistication and the popularity of French-themed entertainment on Broadway. The sophisticated illustration style and prominent billing indicate this was a significant theatrical production of its period.
