Photo of Miss Margaret Edwards "The Perfect Girl" Witzel Studio 1923

$36.00

ABOUT MISS MARGARET EDWARDS: Margaret's mother hit upon a plan, exhibiting her daughter Margaret on stage as the “Perfect Girl.” Only 16 at the time, Margaret began appearing in local theatrical productions as a nymph, dressed in loose fitting tunics which demonstrated her “beautiful limbs,” wrote the San Francisco Call’s theater critic in 1911, “…shown in all their natural loveliness, while her curls hung over her bare shoulders. By about 1915, and following a name-change from Margaret to the more exotic Marguerite, the Perfect Girl’s career began to peter out, but not before she appeared in a few films in the still nascent Hollywood. One of these early pictures, a morality film known as Hypocrites,

debuted at about the same time as Birth of a Nation, and Marguerite played “The Naked Truth.”

This photo has a lot of information written on the back.
