Ethel as Blanche White in Film Fun - October 1919

I am indebted to Alan Miles for tracking down this photo of Blanche/Ethel in Film Fun and making an enhanced copy of the photo. The caption in the original reads Not all nymphs of the California studios are as sparsely garbed as the Sennett bathing girls. Here are two - Evelyn Nelson and Blanche White of the Bull's Eye Follies - who prove that femininity loses none of its charm by being modestly clad. From his researches into the Film Follies archives, Alan has discovered that by 1919 when she was 27, Blanche/Ethel was appearing more in shows rather than films.
This looks like all the 1919 issues of Film Fun. If you click on "see other formats" you should be able to view online and/or download.
