There is no credit given to a costume designer but I suppose that is typical for a film that old. Many behind-the-scene people were never given credits in films. I knew Erte for the last ten years of his life and I travel around the world lecturing on his life and art as well as other aspects of Art Deco. Also, I've been artist-in-residence for the Art Deco Society Of California for since 1984. Have a good one!

I feel a very strong responsibility to get this kind of thing RIGHT, so I really appreciate the correction. : )<br /><br />Now, is the costume actually by Erté? Verifying your information, I didn't see his name anywhere connected to this film.Stephiliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562830870365561419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807469356676934317.post-28210744462290949562019-03-04T15:14:32.168-08:002019-03-04T15:14:32.168-08:00Hi.

It is Betty Blythe in the 1923 film, Chu Chin Chow. I knew Erte for the last ten years of his life and for the past 30 years, I have traveled around the world lecturing on his life and art. I hope that you will make the correction.

He married three before he finally met my mother. I adore looking at the old programs he collected, the Erte costumes and sets he collected. These photos you've posted are amazing! <br /> alice simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919746741835412126noreply@blogger.com
