Madam Blanche, Beauty Doctor1915
A good example of the clever light comedy Thanhouser produced for its Falstaff label, while other studios cranked out broad slapstick comedies. Harry Benham and Mignon Anderson were versatile and popular Thanhouser stars, here showing considerable skill in light comedy, a genre that invites plenty of satirical social observation in areas such as the burgeoning beauty-salon industry. Cinema technique shows much more intricate editing and freer use of close-ups than just a year or two earlier.
