Team work! Buster Keaton tending the Cody mustache while Lew powders the well-known Keaton "deadpan." Just a couple of pals, that's all!

from Photoplay, January 1931
original caption:
HERE'S a strangely fascinating picture of Lupe Velez, that complex exotic star. What story is more exciting than the narrative of Lupe's tempestuous loves and hates? What could have been more unexpected than her adoption of her sister's child? In "The Half Naked Truth," recently completed, she gives a new kind of characterization
Photographer: Hurrell

Madam Satan / Kay Johnson as Angela Brooks
Ah, the pre-code era. This is the toned-down version of the "Madam Satan" outfit that Angela wears to a costume party aboard a zeppelin in order to vamp her errant husband. (I'm not making this up--you can read the plot synopsis for yourself.) One can only imagine what the original version must have looked like!
