Olive Ann Alcorn,1925.
"Olive Ann went through the local schools in St. Maries and graduated from the Denishawn School of Aesthetic Dancing. Olive Ann became such an outstanding student that she was also a part of the Denishawn Players that toured across the United States putting on performances in major auditoriums and theaters of the day.
Olive’s dancing skills must have caught the attention of some motion picture people, for she was hired to perform in her first movie called “Sunnyside” starring Charlie Chaplin. She portrayed a nymph, along with several other women, and appeared in Chaplin dream scenes. (...)
In May 1923 she performed in “The Illustrators Show,” a collection of small one-act plays. She performed in the “playet” called “Murder.” A review of that a month later in the Bulletin of the Art Center published in New York stated that “the little drama was acted with fine spirit and dignity, and the oriental dance by Olive Ann Alcorn which was introduced delighted the audience with its grace and the beauty of the performer.”
In the 1920s, Alcorn became a model at the Chatiau Art Studios. She appeared in many poses which were turned into postcards, some of which depicted her partially or completely nude. She also posed for photos contained in the nude art instruction book "Alta Art Studies Volume I" published by the Alta Studios of San Francisco, Calif., with photography by Xan Smith."
