This Lux girl features in several Lux adverts that ran in the society magazine the Home in 1927...I haven't yet found her in an advert that features this particular photo...but my guess is the various pics of her were all taken on the same occasion...

The pic that appeared in the July 1927 issue of the Home

A little more light around the left eye and this would be a perfect portrait. The man's character is well captured; a bright, open and engaging personality, a real Australian.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Quasymody, I'm just going to pause for a moment and be thankful that you came into our lives. This is wonderful! Thank you so much! This is also interesting in regards to the numbers of portraits that are turning out to be related to Sydney's theatre scene in the 1920s. A feel a blog coming on...

Cheers, P
(an excited Digital Curator)
