Scope and content
A special demonstration of Marcelle hypo-allergenic cosmetics, sponsored by Savon Drugs, was conducted by William Comer in the lobby of the Earle Hotel in July, 1951. The event was attended by Multiple Sclerosis patients, both men and women, many of whom were in wheelchairs. Mr. Comer is presumably the gentleman in the center of the photograph, standing next to the woman in the wheelchair with her head cradled in a pillow. He is apparently holding one of Marcelle's products; various signs proclaim that doctor-recommended Marcelle creates cosmetics for sensitive skin.
