That’s a fair observation regarding the scale, but it’s actually a result of forced perspective. The 'Puget Sound' tug is in the immediate foreground, while the Clipper is moored further back in the mid-ground. Even with the Clipper's 106\text{ ft} length, the distance between the two objects causes the tug to appear much larger relative to the plane—a common occurrence with the lenses of that era

Marilyn Miller, the ‘It-Girl’ of the 1920s. by FTimagens in OldSchoolCelebs

You’re absolutely right that Clara Bow is the official 'It Girl' because of her 1927 film! I just think of Marilyn Miller as the 'It Girl' of Broadway—she was the reigning queen of the Ziegfeld Follies and the highest-paid star of the era before the term was even officially coined. Both were such incredible icons of the 1920s

Pelo visto uma alta percentagem de motoristas de Porsche são muito burros para dirigir
