The Stars As They Are Miss Peggy Oneil (1925)

Miss Peggy O Neil emerges from some bushes. She is shown enjoying the countryside as a break from Paddy the Next Best Thing. She is seen relaxing on a swing chair in the garden reading a magazine, walking in a leafy avenue smelling the flowers and being brought tea by a maid. She reads her mail. An insert of a letter reads: Dear Miss O Neil, My name is O Neil and I m trying hard to get a man. He thinks I m you and wants my picture. Please send me a big one quick and answer a Maiden s Prayers. Peggy looks through some pictures of herself and chooses one to send. She then drinks her cup of tea. Note: Paddy the Next Best Thing was a hugely successful play of the early 1920s. Peggy O Neil was the toast of the town, songs were written about her and a whisky was named after her. Nice to illustrate a lady of leisure in the 1920s (even though she is a hard working actress ) Peggy smelling flowers and relaxing on the swing chair are nice images all nicely shot. FILM A VIDE
