Joan in Bardelys the Magnificent

[tom]

Per the BOE website and IMDB web site, Joan has a bit part as a "court gossip".

The opening scene has court gossips. So, where's Joan?!? I love Joan spotting in her early bit parts, but I am not certain.
Move was made in 1926, a time at which her look was undergoing a metamorphosis. So, her are some screen grabs.


Lady in center seems too "old" to be the 20-something JC.
Maybe the beauty on the left?

Also, Bardelys was made in 1926,
and after a very busy 1925, JC only made a relatively few movies in 1926.
Three films plus Bardelys.

1. The Boob - I think this was released in 1926, but made in 1925.
2. Paris - essentially "lost". Most pics I can recall show a very cropped hair-do JC.
3. Tramp, Tramp, Tramp - I think JC has a very diff look here from her 1926 films.
    Maybe since this was a loan-out, she had a different make-up person.



The young lady on the left, now face on.
Thank she may be the best candidate, but am not 110% sure.
If that's a wig though, could be JC underneath.

Candidate # 2...


Not getting a JC vibe here!

Candidate # 3...

Nah.

Candidate # 4...

This is my second best candidate for Joan, but we never get a great look @ this actress.

Candidate # 5 in our line-up of beauties...

Two more. Never get a really good look @ either.
Yeah, I know, it's like looking through YouTube videos to see if that shadow really is a Sasquatch! 


There is one more in this short sequence, but there is only a poor shot as they fade out to the next shot.

So, eagle eyed Joan fans, which one do you think is JC? Pics appear bigger if you click on them.
