Trying to identify a film

My friend Guada Aballe (a lady that all of you reading this post should have as a friend) scanned this image which is the cover of an Argentine magazine.
Unfortunately, I can't identify the First National film they are promoting.
And, yes, due to the size of the image I beg for your pardon.

Jorge,
Can't you Shrink this down some? Colleen never had that skinny of a face, or nose. It could be NAUGHTY BUT NICE, which is considered to be a lost film. Just a guess.

Jeffrey:
Let's see this attempt.

Assuming La Chiquilla del Barrio is roughly "Girl of the Slums," that would fit Twinkletoes pretty well.

Mike,
I love
TWINKLE TOES! Have some more posters here someplace.

Moore's Twinkletoes was released in November of 1926, so it's probably that film. I agree, Jeff, it's very good and Moore trained like a demon to do the dance sequences.

But in Twinkletoes, wasn't she wearing a blonde curly wig?
Seems possible it might have been something like Ella Cinders (perhaps it took a while to get into release in that country).

I vote for ELLA CINDERS too. One of my absolute favorite silent features...and I really hope it can be restored at some point; the only readily available version is a Kodascope cut-down, and I'm dying to see what's missing. Does anyone know of any 35mm elements in existence on this?

Hey Speedy, Send me an E-mail when you have time. I have not heard from you at all in many months.
