Think of Carole Lombard's photos for Pathe in the late 1920s, and the initial name that comes up is William E. Thomas, the studio's primary photographer.

Carole Lombard's first film for Columbia, 1932's "Virtue," was more suggestive than racy, at least on screen; while her character Mae is a streetwalker, convicted at the start of the movie for soliciting and ordered to leave New York City (the part of the film the audience doesn't actually see), we read more
