# Page Analysis This is an **illustrated page** from a pulp magazine, featuring a photograph of a woman in a reclining pose alongside accompanying text. The text introduces "Mlle. Madeleine Turlotte," described as a South American interpreter who speaks multiple dialects and is allegedly a prominent figure in South American nightlife. The page caption, titled "Gentlemen Prefer 'Em in South America," uses this figure as a framing device to humorously suggest that international disputes are best resolved over drinks. The photograph was apparently taken while Turlotte was in Paris. The page appears designed as promotional material for a "Tropical and South American Number" of 10 Story Book magazine.

ee Tee LTT Gentlemen Prefer ’Em in South America and we publish this ptc- ture of Mlle. Madeleine Turlotte who was born and growed up in a land where only brunettes thrive. Madeleine is a South American inter- preter, and whenever a revolution takes _ place, or a Mexican-Yaqui-In- dian uprising, she knows all the dialects of all the people involved. It ts said she is a prominent figure in South Ameri- can night life, but then you know yourselves that all differences—in- cluding international ones—are best troned out over a little table with a cold botile on st. This was taken when Madeleine was in Paris. Special for Tropical and South American Number of 10 Story Book, via Mme ° . Celesta, Villa Moderne, trouge, @eine, France.
