Glenda Farrell, 1939

“THE ALL-PURPOSE SPORT SUIT....is advocated by Glenda Farrell, star of the TORCHY BLANE series (for Warners) and one of Hollywood's best-dressed women. From her personal wardrobe, she selects a suit of elephant-grey gaberdine with more to it than the eye can see in this picture.

A tailored skirt of matching color and material can be zipped on so that Mayor Torchy can go to places where slacks might be frowned on!”

Seeing Joan Bennett play an enterprising newspaper gal for a portion of “Big Brown Eyes” (1936) brings to mind the prototypical film example of the female investigative reporter of the 1930s, Glenda Farrell. Here is Glenda in “Mystery of the Wax Museum” (1933) and as Torchy Blane in the series she did in the late 1930s with Barton MacLane.
