26 Merc?, It's Mary! Woman, in all her reputed variety, never assumed more disguises than does Mary Brian in her impersonations of well-known jazz leaders. Yes, it's Mary, right, showing there's no limit to her protean ability, for she's giving us her impressions of Paul Whiteman, the maestro of jazz. Below, center, the eccentric Creatore is Mary's disguise, shaggy hair and all, but not his frenzied motions. Eddie Peabody, the banjo-playing orchestra leader, is the subject of Mary Brian's impersonation, above, and who shall say it doesn't look like him? Paul Ash, left, the band leader with a flapper following, fan mail and everything, looks this way to Miss Brian.
