Annotations throughout, striking and adjusting dialogue and circling the character of Jenny, played by Jergens, in manuscript ink and pencil. Jergens; paper clips, all along the top page edges, still in place, with many pages dog-eared. Jergens' career began after being named "Miss World's Fairest" at the 1939 New York World's Fair, after which she briefly worked as a Rockette, being named the Number One Showgirl in New York City, and was understudy to Gypsy Rose Lee in the 1942 Broadway show "Star and Garter." In 1944 she landed a contract with Columbia Pictures and went on to act in over 50 films over the next twelve years. Jergins did two films following "Girls in Prison," George Blair's "Fighting Trouble," (1956) and Edward L. Cahn's "Runaway Daughters," (1956) before retiring from acting in late 1956.

Collection of 14 original preliminary advertising concept art sketches for the release of sultry 1944 B-picture. Executed variously in graphite, charcoal, and gouache on onion skin paper, each leaf tipped on to white paper stock at the corners, some with annotations at the margins. The collection displays a variety of styles and themes, with alternatively seductive and paranoid imagery and tag lines, providing broad insight into the over-archiving advertising campaign of a smaller film at a major studio. Sheets 8 x 11.5 inches to 11 x 15 inches. Very Good or better with faint vertical and diagonal creasing to some pieces and only occasional minor splashes, general signs of light use as expected.
