Important Added Info: Note that this news photo does not show a scene from this 1926 movie. However, it is showing a "fad" that the movie created, which is for people in "Hollywood's motion picture colony" to have a "beauty patch" (which may be a temporary tattoo) attached to their back that is in the shape of a bat, and it was called "The Bat Back". The fad is modeled by Miss Anee Teeman, "a young Chicago prize beauty who recently began a screen career", but if she did, it was apparently under another name, because we could find no sign of her making movies. Also note that the snipe mentions that this movie (which would not be released for 4 more months) was "the first time in the history of motion pictures that plans have been withheld from the public of the cast or the cinema thriller", indicating that this "fad" began even before the movie began filming!
