Description

“The Legit Actress” (Among Us Mortals, 10/19/1952)
by W.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962)
18.5 x 15 in., ink on board

W.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962) was known for his masterful black and white Sunday page, “Among Us Mortals,” sometimes referred to as the Hill Page. Please see the Gallery description for more about Hill.

From this October 19, 1952 edition, titled “The Legit Actress” some quotes:

“Through the ages with the legit actress. At left, we have the adventuress in “Queen of the White Slaves” in the early 1900s. Above is the Boopa Doop saucy soubrette of the 1920s, while right is the small town stock favorite circa 1915, who emoted real teats, so the matinee girls said.”

“Ingenue. She’s guest tonight on one of those TV quiz shows. The emcee has told the panel that the subject is mineral and vegetable, and Irene has her hand up to ask ‘Is it a living American man?’”
