ZaSu Pitts and Devilbiss Perfume Atomizers c1932

ZaSu Pitts stars alongside Slim Summerville and Fifi D'Orsay in the 1932 film They Just Had To Get Married. On ZaSu's vanity table we can see several perfume bottles including two DeVilbiss Imperial Series bottles, also on the vanity are some jeweled Czech or Austrian flacons as well.



In this closeup of the photobelow, you can see she has her hands on one of the DeVilbiss Imperial atomizers and the other one is towards the back of the vanity along the mirror. Just before this bottle is a jeweled Czech perfume flacon. To the right we see a very tall atomizer, it is probably fromCzechoslovakia but has the French style hardware. A jeweled glass powder jar in in front of ZaSu.
