From around 1925, this 26-inch
portrait doll depicts John Gilbert,
a star of the silent films, such as
"Heart O' the Hills" with Mary
Pickford, and "The Big Parade,"
which in 1925 became the second
highest grossing silent film. His
maker unknown, the doll has a
mask-pressed face with painted
facial features. He is dressed in
his original black wool formal suit
with vest, shirt and bow tie, and
he sports a button reading "Lucky
Star Button, John Gilbert."

This 18-inch Lenci doll portrays
the American-born Parisian
dancer Josephine Baker in her
most famous "banana" costume,
"Danse Banane" worn in her 1925
performance at the Folies Bergere.
Made of light brown wool felt,
her swivel head has painted facial
features, including applique red
felt lips and highly-stylized black
mohair wig with forehead spitcurls. She is dressed in her original
felt skirt of bananas and banana
leaves. She wears elaborate brass
bangle earrings, a necklace and
arm and leg bracelets. The doll,
featured in Lenci's 1925 catalog
as model #554, was named
"Josephine." She is one of the very
few Lenci celebrity dolls that was
actually named with the famous
person's name. Photo courtesy
