Here a Hollywood leading man, Buddy Rogers, is put to work selling a skin product, Icilma Vanishing Cream. Rogers rose to fame in the 1920s, most notably in the Paramount war drama *Wings* (1927), and in that era studios and advertisers often lent a film star's good looks to everyday goods. A vanishing cream was a light, non-greasy preparation meant to disappear into the skin, and it was a staple of the early twentieth-century toilet table. The ad shows how beauty marketing borrowed from the movies, tying a dependable household cream to the glamour of the screen.
