What you’re looking at

# Page Content Description This is an illustrated page from an early-20th-century pulp magazine featuring a sepia-toned portrait photograph of a woman in profile, framed with ornate decorative borders. She wears a pearl necklace and an embroidered or patterned dark garment. The caption beneath reads: "SHE has grown up. Not so long ago, Edith Roberts was just a pretty little ingenue. Now, Cecil deMille has made her the dramatic heroine of his latest silk-lined problem plays —Sedy." The page appears to be a promotional or editorial piece about actress Edith Roberts and her career development, specifically referencing Cecil B. DeMille's involvement in her dramatic roles. The worn, aged appearance suggests this dates from the silent film era.
