Here's another single page newspaper paper doll from the Movie Dressograph series published by the St Louis Dispatch. This one features the celebrity Marlene Dietrich. I don't believe I have ever seen another vintage paper doll set of her. She has 3 outfits, one pair of gloves (to go with the first green dress), two hats, and a yellow collar.The page has discolored with age. This is dated March 6, 1932. She is so stylish, i would wear all three of these outfits today! The text reads:
"Marlene Dietrich
A different movie star will make his or her appearance in this space every week. Accompanying will be three costumes this particular player wore in various roles she has played on screen.
Cut out the player and paste on cardboard. then cut out the costumes. Now dress the star in her proper outfits, being careful to assemble each costume correctly.
This week's star is Marlene Dietrich. The three sets of costumes shown here were own by her in the these roles in the following movies:
Shanghai Lily in "Shanghai Express": X-27 in "Dishonored", and Amy Jolly in Morocco,".
Most of the Dressographs say about the same thing, with only the the last two paragraphs changed for the name and roles, and the pronouns for the gender.
