EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures American film actress Louise Brooks (1906-1985) as she sings the hauntingly beautiful French ballad "Je n'ai qu'un amour, c'est toi" (I have only one love, it's you) during her last starring role in the 1930 French film "Prix de Beauté" (Beauty Contest). The song, which translates to "I Have But One Love, It's You," adds an emotional depth to the film's narrative, as Brooks' character, Giselle, competes in a beauty pageant in an attempt to win back her lost love. Brooks' iconic bobbed haircut, which became a symbol of modernity and independence during the 1920s, is on full display in this image. Her expressive face, framed by the short, sleek locks, exudes a sense of vulnerability and longing as she sings the poignant lyrics. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in the image of Brooks' performance, but also in the context of the film itself, which marked the end of her illustrious film career. The songsheet featured in the photograph is a poignant reminder of the film's musical element and the connection between Brooks' character and the audience. The French title of the film, "Prix de Beauté," reflects the societal pressure to conform to beauty standards, a theme that is explored throughout the film. This photograph captures a moment of raw emotion and vulnerability from an actress who was known for her strong, independent spirit. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Louise Brooks and her impact on the history of film and popular culture. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the power of music and performance to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place.
