Play Up Star and Tie Up Title Suggestion With Catchlines
The Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor Priscilla Dean in
"THE BRAZEN BEAUTY"
Bluebird — Universal
While this certainly cannot be classed as big or unusual, it is rather interesting to watch on account of the characterization of Miss Dean and although the story lacks the convincing note which makes it ring true to life, I think most audiences will consider it satisfactory entertainment as a program offering.
Although the basic idea of this has been through the "movie" mill many times before, the characterization of Miss Dean as the spitfire Shero whose finer points were brought out by a love that she had never experienced
before, was very well handled and although her wild moments were frequently over-drawn, I think most folks are going to like her work in this very much.
In order to plant the "Brazen Beauty" twist in your advertising on this I would play up the title with catchlines like these:
"Have you a little 'disturber' in your home? How would you like to have a wife with a mania for breaking up furniture and 'rough-housing" in general when things didn't suit her? See Priscilla Dean in 'The Brazen Beauty'."
"You've heard of a woman marrying a man to reform him but did you ever hear of a man's influence taming down a woman who had wild ways? See Priscilla Dean in 'Tlic Brazen Beauty'."
