We Don't Blame You, Anita Loos.

Picture
Anita Loos entered Hollywood at a young age, writing screenplays and (later) intertitles. By most accounts, she always had a very young appearance. Advertisements frequently capitalized on this, but they also usually note something about her intelligence or her wit. This ad starts with all kinds of infantilization (and  a crazy hat), then notes that she is one of the most brilliant writers of her age.

    This is a bit like Benjamin's Arcades Project, but on a much smaller scale. Intertitles, subtitles, books with images, and other monstrous hybrids.
