SOFAR-Film Publicity Photograph for PRIX DE BEAUTE
August-September 1929 · Paris, France

Although Louise felt less than positive about the finished product of PRIX DE BEAUTE, she described her time in Paris as the happiest of her life. Explaining that because she did not speak French she wasn't required to speak to anyone, or to talk at all. Is it any wonder, then, that the actress considered by some to be the greatest in silent films was most content when she didn't have to say a word?
