Description by OLDIES.com:
The iconic Clara Gordon Bow (1905-1965) was born to a life of humble poverty in Brooklyn, New York. An avid cinemagoer in her teens, she entered a movie magazine’s “Fame and Fortune” contest in hopes of escaping her dreary home life. Winning through sheer determination, she was soon cast in her first hit, Down to the Sea in Ships (1922). Several more successes followed, including Black Oxen (1923), My Lady of Whims (1925), Free to Love (1925), Dancing Mothers (1926) and Kid Boots (1926), before Bow starred in It, by far her most famous picture - to the extent that she was forever known as “The It Girl” afterwards! Inspired by the real-life Cosmopolitan article by Elinor Glyn that the girls are seen reading in the film, Clara’s character, with her bobbed haircut, shapely figure, and free-spirited lifestyle, became the role model of choice for young women in the 1920s. English actor William Austin, who plays Monty, originated the character of Batman’s butler, Alfred, in the 1943 movie serial. His likeness is used in the comic books to this very day.
BONUS: Felix the Cat in Pedigreedy (1927): Felix wants to join the prestigious Four Hundred Club (a real-life listing of the most connected and powerful figures in New York high society.) The famous feline proves his lineage goes all the way back to the days of Christopher Columbus by literally pulling up the roots of his family tree.
