At first I thought this was Ruby Keeler, but this is an early film actress called Sally O'Neil. She was a WAMPAS Baby Star of 1926--a class that included Dolores Costello, Mary Astor and Joan Crawford.
WAMPAS--the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers--promoted budding young stars while also raising the profile of the publicity agents behind the star-making machinery.
Sally O'Neil's heyday was in the silent films of the 1920s.
