Scholarly Significance
-
It shows how evocative and gossiped about their relationship was.
Their names are the the biggest text on the page which draw the reader in. it plays into the actors real lives which they are married to one another after divorcing others to be together.
Pickford's face hides Fairbanks' which insinuates that she is the main star and he is like an accessory to her stardom.
Perhaps it also hints at the films content where he plays a character who hides and is suspicious.
Produced by the couples production company it shows their prowess in the film industry.
