Louise — in heels, of course — poses with Sally Blane (L) and Nancy Phillips (R) on the SoCal beach, 1927. (Thread)
The three worked together on the lost college-themed film Rolled Stockings (1927) with Louise getting star billing and Sally (who also happened to be Loretta Young’s sister) receiving a credited role. Nancy went uncredited and never made another film.
Photoplay magazine featured the three in a “Bathing Togs” story in August, 1927, reminding the reader that “trunks and jackets should match or you just aren’t in the swim.” And “it’s the derniest cri” means “it’s the latest fashion.”
