The title makes the poster's focus plain: it promotes the eyes of Mlle Anna Held, a French-accented musical comedy star whose image Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. helped build into a commercial brand. Ziegfeld, the Broadway producer who later created the *Ziegfeld Follies*, was also Held's husband for a time, and he used theatrical advertising like this to present her as a glamorous Parisian personality. Posters of this kind were pasted on city walls and theater fronts, where a single striking face was meant to stop passersby and sell a performance.
