1. Title: "A Night of Masks and Merriment: Norah Blaney, Ila Fink, and B. Leonards at the Bright Young Things' Extravaganza" In this photograph from 1927, three prominent figures of the Bright Young Things social scene, Norah Blaney, Ila Fink, and B. Leonards, are seen enjoying an evening of masked revelry at a party given by Captain MacEachan at Brook Street. The Bright Young Things were a notorious group of young, wealthy, and influential individuals who were known for their unconventional behavior, flamboyant costumes, and love for parties. Miss Norah Blaney, a popular actress of the time, is depicted in this image as a young guardsman, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to her already captivating presence. Her dashing uniform, complete with a shiny helmet and a sword at her side, is a stark contrast to her delicate features and feminine charm. Miss Ila Fink, a Plaza programme girl, is seen in the photograph dressed as a glamorous programme girl, complete with a feathered headpiece and a stunning sequined dress. Her radiant smile and sparkling eyes reflect the joy and excitement of the evening. B. Leonards, a renowned wig and costume specialist, is shown in the image as Willy Clarkson, a character that added to the whimsical and fantastical atmosphere of the party. His elaborate costume, complete with a top hat and a cane, is a testament to his creativity and flair for the dramatic. This photograph captures the essence of the Bright Young Things' spirit of fun and adventure, as well as their love for dressing up and living life to the fullest. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the 1920s, a time of freedom, creativity, and self-expression. Date: June 19, 1927 Keywords: Bright Young Things, Norah Blaney, Ila Fink, B.
