Her Wedding Night proved to be a watershed in Clara’s screen career. In this film, she displayed a new permanent wave style and a different mode of outfits, in order to complete the break from her old It girl image. The Depression had closed the flapper era completely, leaving Clara without a new silver screen identity to recaptivate the public.
