EDITORS COMMENTS
Betty Blythe, the captivating American actress, graces the cover of Paris Plaisirs number 43, released in February 1926. The image is from her role in the French silent film, "Le Puits de Jacob" or "Jacobs Well / A Daughter of Israel." In this production, Blythe portrayed a young Jewish woman who falls in love with a Christian man, causing a religious conflict in their small community. Born in 1895, Betty Blythe was a rising star of the 1920s, known for her vivacious personality and striking beauty. Her career began in the early days of Hollywood, and she quickly gained recognition for her roles in films such as "The Marked Man" and "The Wanderer." The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, was a time of cultural and social transformation. This era was marked by the rise of silent films, which allowed actors like Betty Blythe to captivate audiences through their expressive performances and stunning visuals. In "Le Puits de Jacob," Betty Blythe's performance was praised for her ability to convey the depth of emotion and complexity of her character, despite the limitations of the silent medium. The film, which was produced in France, showcased her versatility as an actress and her appeal to international audiences. This photograph, taken during the production of "Le Puits de Jacob," captures Betty Blythe in her prime. Her expressive eyes and elegant posture exude confidence and charm, making her an enduring symbol of the 1920s and the golden age of silent film.
